The KPCD-6 6-Button Keypad Controller is a high quality home automation keypad device that is capable of transmitting and receiving digital commands and status over the existing powerlines.
Control single lights, trigger dramatic scenes, or send messages to a central controller.
New for Generation II
Enhanced Noise Immunity
Generation I devices sometimes would not respond, even manually, if there was a certain amount of noise on the powerline. Generation II now alleviates this type of situation.
Receive Sensitivity
Adjustment|Now you can adjust the receive sensitivity in UPStart to improve communication in excessive powerline noise.
LED Presets
We have enhanced LED tracking. Now you have even greater flexibility in controlling how the LED indicators respond when buttons are pressed or scenes are activated. Individually configure which LED indicators will light up or turn off in response to activating or deactivating as many as 16 different links (scenes). Turn ON; Turn OFF, Nothing, Opposite.
Quick-Tap
No long delays between tapping the pushbutton and sending the command!
Cool Blue LED
The new color LED indicators give your keypads a modern “high-tech” look.
Keypad Lockout
Temporarily lock the keypad to keep your children or party guests from playing with your keypads and lights. Just press and hold the middle four
pushbuttons to enable/disable lockout.
Operation
The KPCD-6 is perfect for controlling all UPB-compatible load control devices such as the PulseWorx Wall Switch Dimmers, Fixture Modules, Lamp Modules, Appliance Modules, Output Modules, etc. The KPCD-6 has six blue backlit horizontal pushbuttons as well as a vertical rocker pushbutton. The horizontal buttons can be custom engraved (for a nominal charge) for ease of use and to add beauty and functionality to any room. The backlit pushbuttons illuminate when pressed or when a button or load they are tracking is activated.
Select from 16 commands to be transmitted when each pushbutton is tapped, double-tapped, held or released. This allows the KPC to remotely control other UPB-compatible devices and/or update feedback indicators (like LEDs).
Optionally toggle between two different commands per pushbutton. Tap the button once to activate a scene – and light the LED indicator. Tap it again to deactivate the scene – and extinguish the LED indicator.
The KPCD-6 is a plug-in desktop device that plugs into any 120VAC electrical outlet.
Infra-Red (IR) Control
The KPCD-6 interfaces with the IRR Infra-Red Keypad Remote (sold separately). This credit card sized device reproduces the buttons on the front of the Keypad Controller and allows up to four separate “IR Remote” addresses to enable four KPC’s in the same room without interfering with one another. The IR codes can easily be stored into more sophisticated programmable/learning IR remote controls.
LED Presets
New for PulseWorx Generation 2 is an LED Presets feature that allows you to configure the LED indicators to better track the state of selected loads. Know immediately if the light in your children’s room was turned on or off. Have two or more Keypads track each other’s LED indicators to obtain 3-way and multi-way functionality.
Colors
The desktop Keypad Controllers come in either White or Black plastic enclosures with Gray inserts.
All PCS products are completely
“Made in USA” and carry a five-year limited warranty and a one-year Money Back Guarantee for Certified Dealers.
Easy to Configure
Like all PulseWorx devices, the KPCD-6 can be initially configured using PCS’s free UPStart Software setup tool. UPStart enables configuring such parameters as Network Name, Network ID, Unit ID, Room name, Device name, default on light levels, fade rates, LED colors, dimming disable, auto shut-off time, etc. as well as test the operation and communication strength of the device. UPStart has the option to configure an entire network off-line and then download the information into the devices after they are installed in the home.
PulseWorx Lighting Control System
The Keypad Controllers are designed to be an integral part of a complete PulseWorx Lighting Control System. Like all PulseWorx devices, the KPC uses the patented UPB™ powerline communication technology (invented by PCS) to reliably communicate with any other UPB-compatible device(s) over the existing house electrical wires. No new wires are necessary making PulseWorx perfect for retrofit situations. When initial configuration is complete, a single push of a button is all you need to activate any group of lights (or virtually anything else that connects to AC power wiring) throughout the house simultaneously.
