Matrix Power
The Matrix Power status alarm indicates the power status of the router. A router that displays any alarm status other
than Green (safe) should be switched off and unplugged. Another power pack can be used to test the router frame
again, but if the status alarm remains on the Device Properties page, contact Ross Technical Support.
RCP Power
The RCP Power status alarm indicates the power status that the router distributes to the control panels connected to
it. For any alarm status other than Green (safe), panels should be disconnected one by one, and the alarm status
checked. In some instances there may be too many devices connected to the router to ensure regulated power
consumption by each device. If all devices have been disconnected from the router and the alarm status remains
activated, the router should be switched off and unplugged. Another power pack can be used to test the router frame
again, but if the alarm status remains higher than Green on the Device Properties page, contact Ross Technical
Support.
I/O Power (NK-64 Routers only)
The I/O Power status alarm indicates the I/O card status for the router. As NK-64 routers are comprised of 8
separate I/O cards, each card has its own alarm. If any card has a fault or fails during operation, the I/O Power status
alarm will be triggered. If the alarm has been triggered, each input and output card should be checked individually
before using the router for further operations.

Configuring the RCP-NK1 Panel
Overview
All NK Series components are preconfigured and can be used with the factory default setup immediately after being
installed, without the need for additional configuration. Where an alternative configuration is required, the NK-IPS
allows unparalleled configuration using little more than a PC and Phoenix or a web browser.
The RCP-NK1 40 button panel controls NK Series routers, displaying router status, switching and protecting
crosspoints. It has 40 soft, programmable backlit keys, with 8 being physically separate for convenient function key
layout. The LED brightness can be set through the NK-IPS for both on and off brightness.
Each panel is capable of controlling the whole address space for the NK system (1-65535 inputs and outputs on 32
levels). Panels operate in XY mode by default, but can easily be configured to work in dual cutbus mode using the
NK-IPS.
