What is the WK-MOD?
The WK-MOD-xxx-x is a keypad for use with Rako wired systems. It is
available in a wide variety of button configurations including:
WK-MOD-040-B – 4 button – Scene 1, off, fade up & fade down – Black buttons WK-MOD-070-B – 7 button – Scenes 1-4, off, up & down – Black buttons WK- MOD-110-B – 11 button – Scenes 1-8, off, up & down – Black buttons
The WK-MOD requires a RAK-LINK to operate as part of the system. WK-MOD (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.
Before installing the WK-MOD:
The WK-MOD comes in two sections “Front” and “Back” ; they are referred to as such in the following installation guide. NB The “Back” section is just a connection board for the CAT5/6 cable. The “Front” section contains all memory and programming
—————–WARNING—————
The WK-MOD has four visible screws on the “Front” section as shown below:
These must not be adjusted. Adjusting these may damage WK-MOD-xxx-x
Installation of the WK-MOD-xxx-x with HS-MOD-xx :
Before installing the WK-MOD separate the “front” and “back” sections
Surrounds (HS-MOD-xx)
To complete installation of the WK-MOD a HS-MOD-xx is required as shown above.
This is available in a variety of finishes including:
– Satin Chrome (Silk) surround kit – HS-MOD-SC
– Polished Chrome surround kit – HS-MOD-PC
– Antique Brass surround kit – HS-MOD-AB
– Polished Brass surround kit – HS-MOD-PB
– Matt Bronze surround kit – HS-MOD-BM
– Matt White surround kit – HS-MOD-WH
– Matt Black surround kit- HS-MOD-MB
Terminating the WK-MOD
It is important to terminate WK-MOD 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-MOD is not at the end of line. This is usually identifiable by two cables being punched down to the WK-MOD.
Term – Jumper fitted across 1+2 & 4+5 Used when the WK-MOD is “end of line” in a daisy chain configuration. For example the WK-MOD marked “TERM” shown in “Typical Wired Installation layout” on page one.
Star Term – Jumper fitted across 2+3 & 5+6 Used when the WK-MOD is “end of line” in a STAR wire configuration. For example the WK-MOD marked “STAR TERM” on page one.
Programming the WK-MOD
The WK-MOD is programmed using the Rasoft Pro programming software. A WK-HUB or WA/WTC-Bridge is required for any programming of a wired system.
To put the WK-MOD into setup mode:
– Press and hold any button on the WK-MOD
– Whilst keeping this button held down press any other button three times
– The backlit LEDs will begin to cycle to indicate the keypad has entered
setup mode
