INSTALLATION

WPK-8

This version has 12 function buttons and 8 source buttons. Use this when you wish to control seven or eight source components.

When installing the Waterpad, we suggest that you proceed with the following order of events:

1.Determine the client's system components and needs in detail.

2.Determine the number of source components and function commands needed.

3.Pick the Waterpad version that best suits these needs, e.g. WPK-1, WPK-4, WPK-6or WPK-8.

4.Using Dragon Drop IR™, place the button Icons in the desired locations on the virtual Waterpad and program all buttons.

5.Transfer the program to the actual Waterpad and test all button commands for proper operation before affixing the real button Icons.

6.Affix the icons to all buttons.

7.Attach the inter-room cable to the terminal strip and test all button commands again for proper operation.

Controllers

8. Mount the keypad to the wall surface.

A Typical 4-Source Configuration

The following example will serve to illustrate this process. Suppose a client wants to control an AM/FM stereo system with a Waterpad, as in Fig. 3, from an outdoor location and that he has the following equipment and system requirements:

1.An AM/FM receiver and 4 sources: TUNER (AM/FM), two CD changers and a cassette TAPE deck.

2.When a source button is pressed, it turns on the AM/FM receiver and the associated source.

3.The Waterpad must have the following function commands for each source:

Fig. 1 4-Source Waterpad - Model WPK-4

TUNER: Tuner Up/Down (scroll of preset stations), AM/FM (select).

CD 1 and CD 2: Play, Track Forward/Reverse, Pause, Stop, Disk+, Disk– (select).

TAPE: Play Forward, Play Reverse, Fast Forward/Rewind, Pause, Stop.

This is the basic client specification for this application of the Waterpad™.
