TKP-2000 InstallationTKP-2000 Installation

Introduction

The TKP-2000 is a 2.5” color In-Wall Touch-Screen used to

operate System, Zone and Transport functions in a Total

Control system. It communicates with the MRX-10 Advanced

System Controller over the LAN to send commands that are

then relayed to the devices being controlled. Additionally, it

has the ability to receive on-screen feedback from audio

video components, energy management devices, the DMS

multi-zone system, PCs and iPods, IP cameras, and whole

house lighting. The TKP-2000 receives its 24V power over the

ethernet, using a POE enabled network switch or a POE

injector.

Features and Benefits

The TKP-2000 In-Wall Touch-Screen is installed in the wall using a standard 2-gang box. Once installed, the

cover bezel simply snaps on using magnets. It is available in White and Black. If another color is desired,

inquire with your sales represenative. It connects to the LAN using the standard RJ-45 Ethernet port on the

back. The TKP-2000 works in a Total Control system, and will not work as a stand-alone controller.

Using the LAN as the data pathway, the TKP-2000 allows System, Zone and Device control by issuing commands

to a URC MRX-10. This then sends the control codes to the proper equipment. These commands can be relayed

to the equipment using IR, RS-232 or IP signals. Lighting control can be provided by adding an RFTX-1 at the

RFTX-1 port on the MRX-10 or else in IR port 6 on an MRX-1.

Two-way control modules programmed in the system will deliver metadata feedback and cover-art to the

screen of the TKP-2000. 2-way modules are programmed by simple drag and drop within the URC Accelerator

software, and operate multi-zone receivers, internet feeds (News, Sports, Weather and Stocks), PC and i-Pod

control, streaming network content, and home automation.

The Total Control system allows the TKP-2000 to control up to 255 devices. Some custom graphics can be

added to allow the installer to personalize the unit for individual clients. The six hard buttons, three on either

side of the touch-screen, are pre-installed with customizable button caps. The default configuration requires

no additional programming for the 2-way modules. However, if the buttons are swapped, the file requires

custom programming to allow the proper commands to be routed to these buttons, and to ensure that those

buttons removed from the front have on-screen replacements.

1 – TKP-2000 In-Wall Touch-Screen 1 – Magnetically attached cover plate

4 – 6/32 Device Mounting Screws

Front and Rear Panel Descriptions

Front Panel

The front consists of a 2.5” color touch-screen and 6 laser-etched backlit buttons which can be programmed to

either be off or to remain illuminated when at rest, and will illuminate when pressed.

Mounting Holes: Four standard Double-gang spaced mounting holes.

Color Touch-screen: 2.5” color touch-screen.

Laser-etched Buttons (6): Three buttons on each side of the touch-screen. Standard button caps use the

default configuration, but can be exchanged for custom buttons. The file needs to be custom programmed to

reflect any change of button labels.

Button Bracket: Bracket holds the button caps in place. Must be removed to add or replace button caps.

Button Bracket screws: Hold the Button Bracket in place.

Reset Button: Manual reset of unit when needed.

MAC Address Label: Under the magnetic cover.

Back Panel

The rear of the TKP-2000 simply houses the RJ-45 Ethernet jack.

Ethernet Port: Allows connection to the network. Requires 24V via PoE.

Physical Installation of the TKP-2000 and Accessories

The TKP-2000 In-Wall Touch-Screen is connected to the network using a single Cat5 Ethernet wire with POE. It

is installed into a standard two-gang box or low voltage ring using the included 6/32 mounting screws. The

button caps are installed under the bracket by first removing the bracket screws, placing the caps on the

buttons, and then replacing the bracket. Finally, the cover simply snaps over the top using magnets in the

cover.

Network Installation

1. Connect an Ethernet cable (RJ45) from the network to the rear of the TKP-2000.

2. Connect your laptop into the same network router as the TKP-2000.

3. In the Accelerator software, use the Discover feature to locate the TKP-2000 on the Network.

Locating the MAC Address

The network MAC Address is a unique number that identifies a device on a network. By listing the MAC

address during programming, URC network devices can use DHCP and do not require Static IP Addresses. The

MAC address of the TKP-2000 can be discovered over the network through programming, and it can be found

on a label behind the cover plate.

Installing the TKP-2000

Connect the Ethernet wire to the RJ-45 port on the back of the TKP-2000. Feed the wire into the box or

wall until the touchscreen is flush with the wall. Using the included 6/32 mounting screws in the mount-

ing holes, attach the touchscreen to the box making sure that it is level. If the button caps are being

changed, unscrew the button cap bracket and remove it. Place the needed button caps over the buttons

and replace the bracket using the same screws. Finally, snap cover plate over the top of the TKP-2000.

Screen Settings and Configuration

Entering Onscreen Configuration

You can adjust the settings of the TKP-2000 whenever you like by

pressing and holding both the bottom left and center right hard

buttons (MAIN and MUTE respectively in the default layout)

buttons for five seconds. When you do, the screen will change to

the SETTINGS screen. This provides access to the Onscreen

configuration Menu, and allows control over the Sleep Settings,

Button Light on timing, setting or adjusting the Date and Time,

loudness of any Sounds programmed, Brightness of the screen,

System parameters, Network settings and resetting the unit back

to its Factory Default settings. If you do not press any button on

the SETTINGS screen within 1 minute, the TKP-2000 will time out and automatically return to normal

operation.
