Unpacking Unpack your RKP-4 system. Below are the items that should come with our base station and each belt pack. Contact the shipper or your dealer immediately if anything is damaged or missing.
Rack Mounting The rack mounting brackets come with each RKP-4. These brackets may be used to mount a single base station in a 19” wide rack or mount two base stations side by side in a rack. Figure 5-1 shows the three brackets that come with a base station.
Antenna Connection The base station is supplied with two (2) antennas. One 1/2-wave antenna for Transmit and one 1/2-wave for Receive. The antennas have TNC male connectors. The frequency range of the antennas should match the receiv - er and transmitter of the base station.
Keep the distance between the base station and the beltpacks as short as possible. The greater the distance, the weaker the signal. Make sure the “signal paths” between the base station and beltpacks are unobstructed. Y ou should be able to visibly locate the base station antennas at all times for best perform - ance.

Basic Operational Description The RKP-4B is the base station for the RKP-4 beltpack. The wireless keypanel system is a full duplex (simultaneous talk and listen) audio system that is designed to work with Adam , Adam CS and Zeus and CRONUS Digital Matrix Intercom Systems.
Interfacing to the RKP-4B TX/RX Antennas The TNC jack marked “RCV” is for the receive antenna. The TNC jack marked “TRAN” is for the transmit antenna. The base station will come with two 1/2 wave antennas. Always match the color dot on the base station with the colored band on the antenna.
CAN Bus The CAN bus allows the connection of multiple base stations to a Frequency Manage r . The Frequency Manager then can be used to set all the base stations to a frequency plan plus set a variety of other options on the base station. The base stations then can program frequencies of their beltpacks via an over- the-air link.
Local Headset The local base station headset allows direct communications to the beltpack. It does not connect to the Matrix. Volume Control Turn control clockwise to increase the headphone vol - ume. Talk Button Press to enable audio path from the headset microphone.
Start-up When the RKP-4B is powered-up the 1st screen displayed is the start-up splash screen. It will be displayed for about 2 seconds. This screen contains the software version and chan - nel map versions that are loaded into the base station. The following screen has software version sb10022, and channel map versions B0001 and 30001.
System Settings The systems settings allows a number of base station charac - teristics to be set. This includes base name, base number, aux type, base TX power, Matrix configuration options, sidetone and frequencies. Name and Number The name of the base station may be set to any 10 digit alphanumeric characte r .
Changing the Auxiliary types, TX power and Sidetone 1. From the status screen hit <MENU> once to arrive at the security code / system settings / four wire settings / RF meter menu screen. 2 . Select the system settings menu with the <UP>/<DOWN> arrow buttons and press <SET> to go to the base station settings sub-menu.
Matrix Settings There are four options to set in this screen. Any changes in these settings requires the power of the beltpack and the base station to be reset. The settings are the following: Display Call Enable - (Default) All incoming calls appear in the call waiting displa y.
ClearScan TM Press and hold <MENU> + <SET> for 3 seconds to enter the ClearScan TM menu. There will be three option from which to choose from by using the <UP>/<DOWN> arrow buttons and then press <SET>. Those options and the results are explained belo w.
Alternate Screen Press and hold <MENU> for 3 seconds to toggle between the alternate screen and the status screen. The alternate screen is shown belo w. The alternate screen displays the base name and number in double wide double tall characters.
RKP-4 Operation Basic Operational Description The RKP-4 is the beltpack for the RKP-4 keypanel system. The wireless system is a full duplex (simultaneous talk and lis - ten) audio system that is designed to work with Adam , Adam CS and Zeus and CRONUS Digital Matrix Intercom System.
Battery Installation Ensure that the On/Off volume control knob is turn off. Press down and hold down the battery release latch, slide the battery pack about 1/8 inch back, toward the latch, until it stops. Then lift battery pack out. Replace batteries as follows: WARNING : Do not place an alkaline battery pack in any bat - tery charge r .
Headset Connection The headset connector is a XLR type connecto r . Four or five pin headset connectors may be installed in the unit. See the “RKP-4 Controls and Connections” section for information on the pinouts. A dynamic or electret headset microphone is automatically detected by the beltpack and a bias voltage sup - plied if needed.
RKP-4 Top Panel On/Off & Volume Control: Turns the beltpack power on and controls headset volume. Intercom Buttons: Assignable for several types of operation, including talk onl y, listen onl y , talk with auto-listen, and all- call (where activating the key also activates all keys to the left of that key).
Group and Channels The first screen the beltpack displays on the rear LCD,after power-up, is the group / channels screen. This screen shows the currently selected group followed by the receive and transmit channels where the unit is set. Editing Group / Channels 1.
Receive Frequency This screen displays the frequency in MHz of the beltpack receive r . The frequency is not changeable in factory defined groups. The frequency is changeable in user groups. Editing the RX Frequency (User Groups Only) 1. Set the unit to the desire user defined group and chan - nels.
Microphone Gain This screen displays the setting of the microphone gain of the beltpack. There are 16 possible settings. The number 0 indi - cates no microphone gain, the number 15 is maximum gain. Each step is about 3 dB of audio. Adjusting the Microphone Gain 1.
Serial Number Code The base serial number is required to be input to the beltpack to allow communication with that base station. The number like the encryption code, is composed of four hexidecimal digits. This extra security along with the encryption code means there is over 4 billion possible code combinations.
Entering ClearScan TM 1. Press and hold <MENU> + <SET> for 3 seconds. The following screen will appear: 2. Use the <DOWN> arrow button to select the type of ClearScan TM desired. 3. Push <SET> to start the ClearScan TM 4. Scan Groups a.

Startup and Operational Check When power is applied, all LEDs will first flash green, then red (unless the beltpack is in dark operation. See “RKP-4 Operation”. This confirms that all LEDs are working correct - ly. Also, the call waiting window will display asterisks (****) then dashes (----).
NOTE: . Y ou can scroll one name at a time by clicking and immediately releasing the < SCROLL UP > or < SCROLL DOWN > button. If you press and hold the button it will start scrolling slowly through the names. After a few sec - onds the scroll speed will increase.
Intercom Key Operation for Different Types of Key Assignments Basic Talk and/or Listen Key Operation: The lower button activates talk (if assigned). The upper button acti - vates listen (if assigned). Talk and listen may be latched on or off independently by tapping up or down.
Call Waiting Operation for Incoming Calls As previously described, the talk indicator for a key will flash when there is an incoming call to that ke y , and you may acti - vate that key to talk back.
