CP-15 Instruction Manual
Overview
The CP-15 is used for controlling the system’s switches and system attributes. Although
control panels are optional, we recommend one per system for system verification,
redundant control, and troubleshooting.
FIG. 1 illustrates an Optima Distribution Matrix with a CP-15 Control Panel. Other models may vary
slightly in appearance.
Note:
AMX AutoPatch enclosures can also be controlled using BCS (Basic Control Structure)
commands transmitted through an external controller; for more information, see the
BCS Protocol Instruction Manual on the AMX AutoPatch CD or at
www.amx.com
.
A CP-15 Control Panel has an LCD, a Function Key, a Control Dial, a Select Key, a Cancel Key,
a Take Key, Input and Output Keys, and a Power Indicator.
The Control Dial and Select Key work together for scrolling through the menus displayed on the LCD
to place the system into various modes (the types of operations, e.g., Change Mode) or to access lists for
control operations. Once in the desired mode, use the Input and Output Keys to select values and the
Take Key to execute the operations (some modes require using the Control Dial and Select Key
to select values).
Key Functions
Function Key
The Function Key accesses the Function menu on the LCD. As the Control Dial is turned, this menu
displays the various command options, e.g., Status, Disconnect, etc. The Function Key can be pressed at
anytime to return the display to the Function menu. For an overview of menu options, see page 5.
