KP10 A-BUS keypad INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio Incognito product. Incognito is a cost-effective, modular based system using standard Cat-5 or Cat-6 cable to distribute hi-fi quality sound and video around a home. The KP10 is an in-wall, A-BUS TM compatible amplified keypad with buttons for control of speaker volume levels, Standby/On and source select (with compatible equipment), as well as having an IR window for receiving remote control signals.
SYSTEM OPTIONS The KP10 keypad can be used in two main configurations: 1. As part of a full Incognito system, where it is plugged into an Incognito hub (AH10), perhaps with other Incognito accessories such as a video switching unit (VH10) or local input module (LM10) fitted. 2.

INSTALLATION NOTES The KP10 is fitted on the wall by fixing it into a standard UK 47mm depth single-gang electrician’s back-box (pattress). All knock-outs in the back-box should be removed to provide maximum ventilation. Where it is desired to fit a mains lighting switch etc next to a keypad, a barrier-box or two single back-boxes must be used (bear in mind it is not preferable to fit the keypad next to a light-switch particularly if the faceplate styles will differ).
KP10 A-BUS keypad Safety precautions Care should be taken when choosing the site for a KP10, the keypad must never be installed in a back-box which also contains mains wiring or in areas of high humidity. The KP10 runs on 24 V DC supplied through the connecting cable. As such there is no mains voltage present in the KP10 and the unit is often safe to fit in areas where only extra low voltage (ELV) equipment is permitted.
