10 Basic System Hookup Keypads connect to the Zone Control terminals on the CT Receiver using CAT-5 cable and/or phoenix connectors. Composite video is used for video distribution, usually RG-6 or better. Video IR Flashers for A/V components are connected to the IR flasher outputs corresponding the their A/V Input number.
Installation Considerations Installation Considerations CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN Placement and Ventilation The CT Receiver incorporates built in power amplifiers and requires at least 3" of free air space above the unit. If built into a rack, please insert at least one rack space of vent panel immediately above the unit.
12 Power Connections AC Power and Line Fuse Before connecting any cables, verify that the CT Receiver powers up. Check functionality of the receiver by connecting the AC power cord and powering on the receiver with the main power button. When the front panel display lights up, power the system down once it has finished the boot up process. Disconnect the AC power cord at the rear of the CT Receiver for safety.

14 CK1.2 Keypad Connections Keypad Connections Keypads connect to the CT Receiver at the Control Terminals. There is a five position phoenix terminal for each of the hardware Zones labeled A-F on the six zone receiver and A-C on the three zone receiver. Termination of the Keypad cables to the Control Terminals can be done in one of two ways: Strip the keypad cable and terminate five wires to the five terminals of each Zone.
15 CK1.2 Keypad Connections If the cables have already been terminated in RJ-45 plugs, order the accessory "RJ-45 to 5 Position Phoenix" (P/N 21419) separately from B & K . Plug the RJ-45 plug into the adapter and screw the adapter in place on the phoenix plug. Be sure to match the labels on the CT back panel to the labels under the pins of the adapter. Additional keypads for any zone can be connected to the slave output on the keypad back panel.
16 12V Power Supply Adding Additional Keypads in the Same Zone. When rooms are interconnected or are open to each other (for example: interconnecting family room, kitchen, and dining areas are common in many homes) you may opt to expand a zone to include several rooms. Many keypads can be connected in a daisy chain from the master keypad in that zone. The master is the keypad which is home run back to the CT Receiver.
17 Shared Source Connections Example Shared Source Connection to a CT Receiver Any source that is desired to be shared throughout the system should be connected to one of the 9 A/V Source Inputs. Up to nine sources can be "shared" throughout any zone in the entire system. Internal tuners in the CT receiver products do not utilize an input.
18 IR Emitter Outputs IR Flasher Emitter Output Each of the nine shared sources can be controlled from any zone in the system using the CT Receiver built in IR routing circuitry. When the IR Flasher outputs are set to “selected input,” (Default) IR is routed from the keypads in each zone to the corresponding source according to the input selected for that zone. This way BUFFERED A/V SOURCE OUTPUTS ZONE LINE OUTPUTS multipleO Uidentical sourcesO Ucan be controlled Owithout changingOthe source's IR code.
19 Zone Line Outputs Zone Line Outputs Zone line outputs are used to run the audio and/or video into each zone. Composite video outputs supply video to monitors in each zone. Zone A's video output provides access to the on screen display for unit setup. The setup menu is only accessible through composite video output of zone A. Line level audio outputs are supplied for each zone in order to provide a means for external amplification in any zone.
Fixed Output / Variable Output Changing Line Level Outputs From Fixed to Variable Variable Left Fixed An internal jumper is used to change the output between line level fixed or variable. This adjustment is typically useful when using additional external amplification. Open the chassis and locate the blue jumper on the audio card for the Zone Line Outputs. The jumpers are in line with each channel on the back panel.
21 Local Source IR Control Local IR Source Control Local source control is accomplished by connecting IR emitters to the Alternate Master [IN] of the keypad. Local control is not limited to one source, as many as four IR emitters can be wired in series directly from the keypad. NOTE: Additional resistance will need to be added when running emitters directly from the keypad. Resistance will vary depending on the distance of the run and the size of the wire used.
22 Common Control Triggers Common Control Triggers The B & K CT receiver line incorporates common control triggers that can be used for whole house events such as telephones and doorbells. Two common controls on the six zone receiver (one on the three zone) allow up to 24VAC or DC voltage sensing. Referred to as Page/Events, typical applications might involve a doorbell and front door security camera.
23 Additional Connections RF Remote IN This connection is unsupported. RF REMOTE IN AM ANTENNA AM Loop Antenna Two internal AM/FM tuners included in CT610,310 & 602. The tuner requires a single coaxial FM antenna oriented for best tuner frequency reception. The signals are internally split to eliminate the need for dual antennas. Single tuner included with CT600/300. FM ANTENNA RF REMOTE IN AM ANTENNA FM Antenna Two internal AM/FM tuners included in CT610,310 & 602.
24 System Expansion System Expansion There are many ways to expand upon a CT system. The pages in this section will highlight simple methods for adding zones to a CT system. For some installations, simple back and forth IR communication will be needed, other installations will require the use of the CT-1. General guidelines for expanding a CT system are as follows: • If identical sources are being installed, a CT-1 will be required for system expansion.
25 Connecting Two CT Receivers Coupling Two CT Receivers - Maximum 12 Stereo Zones Two CT Receives can be coupled together using IR for some simple installations. The following diagram depicts a system for up to 12 stereo zones, with NO identical sources, and two-way communication. IR is simply being allowed to flash both receivers regardless of which keypad generates the IR command. All keypads can be programmed using the code-set 128.
26 Adding a 7th Zone Adding a 7th Zone Using The AVR507/505/50 Second Zone Sometimes a simple seventh zone is needed for a CT install. If a B&K Home Theater is also being installed, then the independent second zone can be used for the audio/video switching. Amplification must be provided for the seventh zone. B & K manufactures two channel amplifiers capable of 55 watts per channel,125 watts per channel or 200 watts per channel. Control of the Home Theater is accomplished by means of a RS-232 Swap cable.
27 RS-232 Swap Cable Swap Cable Construction A swap cable is used for communication of RS-232 (BKC-DIP, Device Interface Protocol) data between units by swapping transmit and receive pins. A swap cable can be used between a CT Receiver and a home theater or a swap cable can be used between CT Receivers. A swap cable is intended for one-way communication between the sender and recipient. RS-232 is not prone to outside interference such as plasma or fluorescent light.
28 CT-1 Expansion Basic Expanded System Using a CT-1 Up to 18 stereo zones can be added using a single CT-1. A basic expanded system consists of one, two or three CT Receivers, up to nine shared sources, one CT-1 and one Home Theater product. A basic system can require the use of one CT-1, it allows up to three CT Receivers (or 18 stereo zones) to communicate with one another while also sharing and communicating with common sources. The following diagrams depict how a basic system is connected.

30 CT-1 Expansion Adding a Home Theater B&K manufactures Home Theater preamplifier/processors and receiver/processors. Any of these products can be combined to share sources in a CT system. Depending on which form of control communication you wish to use (IR or RS-232), B&K can accommodate either or both. Typically only one form of communication is needed, however for some advanced installations, both forms may be required.
System Expansion Using a Swap Cable to Control a Theater To simply add a B&K home theater to a CT distributed audio system, a swap cable will provide control functions such as power, input, volume, etc. The buffered outputs from the CT Receiver will provide the analog audio and composite video signals from any shared source. The definition of a swap cable can be found on page 27 of this manual.
32 Setup Using a PC and BKcSuite Setup Using a PC and BKcSuite B & K Tool Suite can be installed using the CD-ROM included with the CT Receiver. You may also obtain this software online at www.bkcomp.com. Your PC should be equipped with a CD-ROM or DVD drive. B & K Tool Suite includes software for setting up B & K Receivers, Preamplifiers, SR10.1 remote, and CK1.2 Keypads. The installation path for BKcSuite is [c:/program files/B & K Components Ltd/BkcSuite.
33 RJ-45 Pin Out Connection to a PC Note that many modern laptops do not come equipped with a DB9 style serial port. If your computer only has a USB style serial port, you'll need to obtain a USB to DB9 Serial port adapter cable. B & K offers a pre-made connector suitable for connecting a serial port to a standard network CAT5 cable with RJ45 connectors (p/n 13290).
34 BKcSuite Setup and Overview BKcSuite Setup and Overview BKTask automatically installs a shortcut icon on the desktop [BKTask icon (grey)]. Make sure all other applications which use the serial port are closed before opening the taskbar. B & K has the capability to connect in real-time (live) to any of our receivers or preamplifiers. However, it is recommended that all setup be done virtually to avoid system errors. Once the setup files have been created, connect to the unit and open the saved files.
35 BKcSuite Task Bar Explained BKcSuite Task Bar Explained Once you have chosen the product you wish to configure, BKcSuite will display the tool bar of applications within the Suite. A single click of the mouse on any of the icons in the tool bar will activate the appropriate application. The applications are described below: Run the Basic Setup Editor for Run the Basic Setup Editor foras a a Standard CT610/310/600 standard CTinReceiver.
36 Basic Setup Menu Basic Setup Menu The basic setup menu in BKcSuite has been created to simplify the setup process. It is meant for streamlined setup of basic systems operating with B & K keypads. Tab 1 in the Basic menu allows users to name zones, configure power on preferences, and name sources. Tab 2 is provided to set up a keypad for RS-232 feedback syncing. Tab 2 tells the CT Receiver where devices are located on the keypad so the zone input syncing will operate properly.
Advanced Setup Menu Advanced Full Setup Menu The advanced setup menu in BKcSuite is designed with the intention of displaying the features found in the on screen setup menu using thirteen defining tabs. Each tab allows the user to customize different features found within the CT Receiver. Setup should proceed in the numerical order of the tabs. Remember, it is always best to save frequently. BKsSuite should be updated regularly using the Live update feature found in the BKTask window.
38 Hardware Zone Settings - Tab 1 1. Since a CT610/602 has six hardware zones, BKcSuite will display a zone button corresponding to each of the six zones. (If you are programming a CT310/300, three zone buttons appear). Select the zone you wish to adjust the settings of. 1 2 2. You may set Zone A to stereo or mono as required. When stereo is selected, the form will appear as shown to the left. If mono is chosen, the Zone A form will change its appearance to the mono version as shown to the left.
Hardware Zone Settings 3. Fixed or Variable Levels for Stereo Zones 3 4 5 This setting dictates the configuration for the amplifier. The Variable assignment will allow speakers connected to the Zone Speaker Outputs to be controlled using an IR keypad or remote control. Selecting the Fixed assignment is available for external rotary type volume controls. 4.Maximum Level (Limits the Output whether Fixed or Variable) Each zone can have the volume limited to a particular maximum level.
40 Sub-Zoning Splitting a Zone To Mono Once a zone has been split into mono it has the ability to have a discrete IR Code-Set assigned to it and therefore the user is given the capability to control volume, mute, and power in the split zone independently. For more information on Code-Sets, see the section labeled Groups/Code-Sets/Zones. The Installation diagram of a mono zone split for control is illustrated below. The split mono zone will still share the same source, bass, treble and loudness levels.
41 Code-Set Description and Overview Code-Set Description and Overview B & K uses discrete code-sets to control any or all of its audio/video zones. Code-sets range from code 0-0-0 (zero zero zero) to 1-2-8. This is the same practice that satellite manufacturers use so that one remote controller could control three identical satellites. The satellites are first set (via switches or on-screen menus) to be either an A, B or C satellite. When the remote control is set to SAT A, only SAT A responds and so on.
42 Groups / Code Sets / Zones - Tab 2 1. Groups: You can program a maximum of 18 groups for each CT Receiver labeled a - r for your reference only. Group 0 cannot be changed, it is pre-programmed with code-set 0-0-0 (controls ALL CT Zones). Each group can control any or all zones within one CT Receiver. If multiple CT’s are going to utilize the same code for a group spread across multiple CT Receivers, that code-set must be programmed into each CT receiver. 2.
43 When a zone is split to mono, two columns of check boxes appear representing the right and left channel of the split zone. Splitting a zone to mono allows independent ability to control power and volume on each side of the zone. The left or the right channel can then be controlled with a discrete code-set from the keypad, or from an external volume control (in wall). If an in wall volume control is desired, set the desired side of the zone to Fixed volume in Tab 1.
44 Input Settings - Tab 3 1 3 2 1. Shared Source Input Names: Title each input with a user friendly name (up to a 5 letter name). Inputs 1 through 9 can be selected in every zone, thus they are shared inputs. This is the same name that will display on the keypad when zone status is recalled by pressing the backlight button on the CK1.2 Keypad. 2. Dedicated Source Input Names: Dedicated inputs are identified by the letter of the zone to which it is assigned.
Power On Titles - Tab 4 Power-On titles will only appear on the front panel of a CT610 or CT310 only.
46 Power-On Preferences - Tab 5 1 2 4 3 Power-On preferences describe a specific state in which a zone or group of zones will power on every time the zone or group is powered on. 1. Select Code Set: All of the Code-Set #'s that were programmed previously appear on this list with their names. On this tab, program what will happen when each Code-Set is used to power on a zone or group of zones. 2.
47 Input Configuration - Tab 6 1 2 3 4 5 3 2 1. Select the Zone Dedicated Input you wish to setup. 2. Video No / Yes: If “NO” is selected, the CT Receiver will keep the video input selection from the last selected video source. 3. Input Mode: Mono or Stereo - Select the best mode for the source connected to this Input. When set to mono, the right and left input signals are summed. 4.
48 Page / Event - Tab 7 1 2 A Page/Event is an action triggered by a 1-24VAC or DC trigger (Common Control), RS-232 command, or Audio Video Sense. 1. Action: When this Event is triggered, choose between switching to one of the nine shared sources, changing the volume or no action at all (OFF). When one of the nine shared inputs is selected, both volume level and input will be affected when the Page/Event is triggered. To only adjust volume level during a Page/Event choose “Change Volume.
Page / Event - Tab 7 3 4 5 6 3. Level: Set the Volume desired for this event. When the event is triggered, the volume will be switched to this level in any zone set to respond to the page/event. Built in intelligence "remembers" the previous state the zone was in before the Page/Event occurred thereby returning the zone or zones to their previous state. 4. Turn Off Delay: Adjust the time for which the Page/Event will remain on.
50 Display - Tab 8 Note: Display setup for a CT610/310 only. 1. Front Panel Brightness: Select Off, Dim, Medium or Bright from the list box. When set to OFF the display will turn on briefly when a change occurs and then revert back to off. 2. Individual Zone Display: For each zone, decide whether the front panel should display changes from that zone as they occur. If all zones are set to ON, the front panel display will change every time any zone receives an IR command.
12V Control - Tab 9 1 2 1. Zone Control: Click one of the zone buttons A thru F to setup control settings for the desired zone. 2. Zone Control Out: Control Out is a switchable 12VDC 200mA control voltage useful for status lights on keypads, power strips, external amplifiers or any other voltage sensing device. The default setting of each of the individual Zone Control Output is Zone ON - the voltage turns on only when that particular Zone is on and turns off when the zone is off.
52 IR Flasher Settings - Tab 9 Zone Rear Data In Setting: Allows the IR data input port for each zone control terminal to be switched off. When set to OFF, any keypads or IR sensors connected to the back panel the CT Receiver will be rendered inoperable because no IR will be allowed to pass through the IR data input for the selected zone. Flasher Outputs: Selected Input - If IR routing is desired, set this to Selected Input.
Security - Tab 10 1 2 3 4 1. Front Panel Buttons: When you disable the front panel buttons, the only button that still has any affect is the master power ON/OFF switch. A touch of any other button brings the word "Locked" to the display. 2. Front Panel IR: Disabling the front panel IR prevents B & K IR commands from affecting internal operation, but will still pass IR through to the IR outputs. It also does not prevent source IR from reaching the rear panel flashers. 3.
54 RS-232 Communication - Tab 11 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 For detailed information on BKC-DIP and RS-232, please refer to the documentation folder located in [c:/program files/B & K Components Ltd/BKcSuite/documentation] or visit our website at www.bkcomp.com. 1. RS-232 Port Enable: When disabling the RS-232 port, RS-232 strings will be neither transmitted or received through the main RJ45 jack.
RS-232 Communication 6. RS-232 Feedback Selection (Continuous Reply): Disabled (Default)= No BKC-DIP Update or Reply is generated. Update = A change affecting a logical zone from the Front Panel or B & K IR generates an update message representing the specific Front Panel button or B & K IR command. The CT receiver must then be polled to determine the current status.
56 Preset Operation - Tab 12 1 2 3 1. Recall Volume In Preset: If set to YES all of the presets you program will recall the saved volume setting. If set to NO, none of your presets will change the volume. When you recall a preset, the volume will stay the same. 2. Auto Naming: If set to YES, the CT Receiver will auto name a new preset for source and volume setting. If NO, the user must name the preset or retain the previous name. 3.
Keypad Feedback - Tab 13 In the advanced setup tab 13, you can set the keypad feedback positions more precisely than in Basic Setup. Keypad input feedback is triggered upon the acknowledgment of an input change from a zone or group of zones. When a zone is powered on or the input is changed, the keypad will jump to the page corresponding to the input the user has selected. This is useful for multiple keypad connected in series or grouped zones.
58 Preset Editor Preset Editor Features and Benefits Presets are a powerful feature that can instantly recall commonly used parameters instantly. B & K preset settings can be recalled with the press of a single button. Parameters such as independent audio/video inputs, bass, treble and volume levels, loudness and tuner frequencies can be recalled with one touch access. Open the Preset Editor to create / edit your presets. Opening the Preset Editor Preset editor files are defined by the extension (*.
59 Preset Editor The Preset Editor Window This shows the presets contained within the CT Receiver preset editor file. If a "Virtual" setup is being used, default presets will be displayed on the preset editor table. If a live connection has been established, the unit's internal presets will be displayed on the preset editor table displayed below. Editing Presets Selecting a preset to edit is done by clicking on the number of the preset.
60 RS-232 Serial Macro Editor RS-232 Serial Macro Editor The RS-232 serial macro editor allows a CT Receiver to control other RS-232 devices. Specific examples could include other B & K products, the CK1.2 keypad, or light controllers. The serial macro editor works by using an IR trigger command to fire out RS-232 messages. In this editor, the user can specify the IR trigger, the RS-232 message and the RS-232 transmit port the command will be sent out.
CK1.2 Keypad For B & K CT product with hardware version code 2.00 or earlier, it is recommended you save your files frequently.
