Panel Lock
A panel may be locked to prevent unwanted key presses (particularly accidental switches). The Panel Lock is
reflected on the control panel’s Device Properties page of the NK-IPS, and can be locked or unlocked as required
both from the NK-IPS configuration page or from the panel.
To activate the panel lock from the RCP-NK1, follow these steps:
1. Hold down the PROTECT key for about three seconds. The PROTECT key will flash quickly to indicate that
the panel lock has been activated.
2. Release the PROTECT key. The PROTECT key will flash slowly to indicate that the panel is locked.
Example
The PROTECT key’s panel lock function and the PANEL LOCK key are interchangeable. If both function keys are
configured on the one panel, a panel lock can be activated from one key, and deactivated from the other.
A PROTECT key is not available on the factory default configuration. For configuration and functionality of the
PROTECT key, the NK-IPS is required. A PROTECT key can also be configured on the NK1 panel via Function
Key Program Mode.
Take Key
A TAKE function key is used to activate the selected switch. First the required destination is entered, then the
required source; the SOURCE key on the panel flashes and the TAKE key illuminates. The switch is activated once
the TAKE key is pressed. The entered crosspoint change will be completed immediately after the TAKE key has
been pressed. This enables the user to preset a crosspoint change before the switch is required. The pending switch
can be aborted by pressing any key other that the TAKE key.
Example
A TAKE key is not available on the factory default configuration. For configuration and functionality of the TAKE
key, the NK-IPS is required. A TAKE key can also be configured on the NK1 panel via Function Key Program
Mode.
Chop Key
The CHOP function key enables the user to alternate between two sources. Pressing CHOP will alternate the two
previously selected sources for a given destination. Pressing CHOP once will start a slow chop. Pressing CHOP
Pressing the PROTECT key will protect the current destination.
Holding the PROTECT key for about 3 seconds will lock the panel.
Holding the key again will unlock the panel.
Switches preset source ‘In9’ to the current destination when TAKE is
assigned.
Switches user defined ‘Xpoint7’ (source to destination on
breakaway/level) when TAKE is assigned.
Pressing a MACRO key and then TAKE will activate the Macro
when TAKE is assigned.
