What is the WK-EOS-6?
]The WK-EOS-6 is a six button keypad for use with Rako wired systems. It will
transmit Scene 1-3, Off, Fade Up/Fade Down in a single room before any custom
programming is added.
WK-EOS-6 require a RAK-LINK to operate as part of the system.
WK-EOS-6 (as part of the wired network generally) can be wired in two ways:
“Daisy Chain” configuration – A single run of keypads runs from the RAK- LINK and to an end point. It is still usually advisable to run a return leg back to the RAK-LINK as a spare.
“STAR” configuration – Cables are all run back to a central point: a RAK- STAR usually located with the RAK-LINK. Each cable can be from a single keypad or a leg of keypads.
Installation Note:
The WK-EOS-6 comes in two sections “Front” and “Back” they are referred to as
such in the following installation guide. The “Back” section is just a
connection board for the CAT5/6 cable. The “Front” section contains all memory
and programming.
Installation of the WK-EOS-6 with WP-EOS-60-xx:
Step 1| | Prepare cable(s) in backbox ready for connection.
Separate the two halves of the WK-EOS-6 ready for installation. The “back”
section (with the punchdown connections) will be installed first.
TIP:
Leave plenty of slack if possible to allow for re-punching down at a later
date if required.
---|---|---
Step 2| | Punch down cable(s) matching cable colours to colours written on the
circuit board.
There may be either one or two sets of cables to punch down.
Step 3| | Terminate the WK-EOS-6 as required. See “Terminating the WK-EOS-6”
on page 3 of this manual.
The back section of the WK-EOS-6 is now installed and is ready for the front
section and cover plate.
TIP:
Take care when preparing and installing to not disturb the punchdown
connections. Loops are provided on the back section to cable tie the cable(s)
if desired.
Step 4| | Clip the front section of the WK-EOS-6 into the grid and connect the
front section of the WK-EOS-6 to the back section of the WK-EOS-6.
Screw the grid for the screwless cover plate into the backbox.
TIP:
If the wired network is powered then the backlit LEDs on the keypad will
illuminate.
Step 5| | Clip the cover plate into the grid to complete installation.
Coverplates (WP-EOS-60-xx)
To mount the WK-EOS-6 to the wall a WP-EOS-60-xx is required as shown above.
This is available in a variety of finishes including:
– Satin Chrome (Silk) – WP-EOS-60-SC
– Polished Chrome – WP-EOS-60-PC
– Antique Brass WP-EOS-60-AB
– Matt Black – WP-EOS-60-MB
– Polished Brass – WP-EOS-60-PB
– Matt Bronze – WP-EOS-60-BM
– White (Matt) – WP-EOS-60-WH
Terminating the WK-EOS-6
It is important to terminate WK-EOS-6 correctly otherwise the wired system
will not function. The termination that is required depends on the nature of
the installation and the position of the RAK-LINK within the system.
No Term – Both Jumpers removed
Used when the WK-EOS-6 is not at the end of line. This is usually identifiable
by two cables being punched down to the WK-EOS-6.
Term – Jumper fitted across 1+2 & 4+5
Used when the WK-EOS-6 is end of line in a daisy chain configuration. For
example the WK-EOS-6 marked “TERM” shown in “Typical Wired Installation
layout” on page one.
Star Term – Jumper fitted across 2+3 & 5+6
Used when the WK-EOS-6 is end of line in a STAR wire configuration. For
example the WK-EOS-6 marked “STAR TERM” on page one.
Programming the WK-EOS-6
The WK-EOS-6 is programmed using the Rasoft Pro programming software. A WA
/WTC-Bridge or WK-HUB is required for any programming of a wired system.
