KD-WP8-2

INTRODUCTION

The Key Digital® KD-WP8-2 is an eight-button control keypad. It fits into a single-gang wall box and is PoE-powered.

It’s easy to program the KD-WP8-2 via web GUI to send commands directly to IP-controlled devices over the network.

Additionally, it can also send commands to RS-232 and IR devices through the built-in control port.

Integration with Key Digital Master Controllers
KD-WP8-2 may also be integrated with Key Digital Master Controllers to control additional IR, RS-232, and voltage relay devices. You can configure button events as desired for press, release, toggle, or press-and-hold actions.

Customizable Backlighting and Icon Sheets
Along with selectable blue or red backlighting, KD-WP8-2 includes multiple transparent icon sheets. You can easily insert the sheets beneath detachable transparent button caps to achieve a modern and professional appearance and create your own button icons with a uniform look and feel thanks to downloadable online button templates.

Key Combinations for Locking and Unlocking
The keypad allows you to lock and unlock using key combinations. You can use a virtual keypad with password-protected interfaces. These interfaces include web UI, Key Digital Management PC Software, and KD-App.

Efficient Project File Management
You can export and import completed project files to save programming time and easily set up multiple keypads in similar installations.
