2.4 KMS Keypad
The KMS keypad provides a remote zone
control alternative to the RHS. The keypad
can be used as a stand-alone control
device although it is most functional with
the DMS module. Its design is the
optimum balance between flexibility and
simplicity.
The four left-hand keys are each used to
select a pre-programmed source. When a
selection is made, the zone is activated
automatically if necessary. Of the four
right-hand keys, the upper and lower keys
provide volume control (upper key) and
standby and mute selections (lower key)
for any selected source. The functions of
the two centre keys change automatically
depending on the selected source. Refer
to Section 6.3 KMS Keypad for further
information.
The KMS mounts conveniently in a
standard single wall box of at least 44mm
depth, or in a dual width box mounted
horizontally* with a DMS module.

For some European countries, a
vertical mounting plate is also available.

2.5 Data Cable and
Connectors
The connection between the Super
Controller and DMS/KMS modules must
be made with a shielded six core (+ drain
wire) cable. We recommend QED CAT-5
screened or CAT-5 FTP cable for optimum
performance. Other cables may work
satisfactorily provided they have an
overall screen, six 26 awg cond
drain.
Data cable termination is via industry-
standard 6-pin connectors made by
Methode and others. (The Methode part
number is 1300-106-426.) Pin-out
configuration and termination hints are
found in Section 4.14.
2.6 Speaker and Cable
Connections
Unshielded two-conductor 42 Strand QED
speaker cable is the minimum acceptable
standard for connections between the
S4.3 Controller and zone loudspeakers.
For particularly long runs or where there
is a requirement for the best possible
sound quality, QED Qudos speaker cable
should be used.
The S4.3 Controller amplifier outputs are
connected via quick-fit 2-way speaker
plugs with screw terminals. These
terminals are suitable for wire gauges
upto 2.5mm
