I/O Connectors
The CP-3008 features I/O connector so you can connect one input/output device to
the ControlPad. The PWR pin provides +12 VDC @ 200 mA and is designed as a
power output for the PCS Power Current Sensors, VSS2 Video Sync Sensors (or
equivalent). The GND connector is a common ground and is shared by all I/O ports.
A common ground is shared with I/O ports 1 - 2.

Button Labelling
NOVARA ControlPads and KeyPads come with a set of clear plastic Key Caps,
which are designed to fit tightly over the pushbuttons, and allow you to place a label
on each button according to the requirements of your particular installation.
NOVARA ControlPads and KeyPads also come with a pre-printed acetate sheet with
a range of 50 (pre-cut) button label inserts. The button labels provided will
accommodate most installations, but it is also possible to print your own button labels
on acetate for custom button labelling.
WARNING: Attempting to remove the Key Caps while the faceplate is still installed
can damage the unit. Use care when removing the Key Caps. Always remove the
faceplate before removing the Key Caps. Mishandling the Key Caps can cause
permanent damage to the unit and voids warranty.
Installing Acetate Button Labels and Key Caps - READ THIS FIRST!
1. Punch out the desired Button Label from the included acetate sheet.
If you have printed your own custom button labels on acetate, cut each button
label to fit inside the Key Caps.
• Custom button labels must be cut to a 1.14cm (0.45") square to fit securely
inside the Key Caps.
• The thickness of the acetate used must not exceed .004” (0.10 mm).
2. Place the Key Cap face-down, and insert the Button Label into the bottom of
the Key Cap (FIG. 9).
• Orient the Button Label inside the Key Cap so that the two clips are located on
the left and right sides of the readable text on the Button Label, as indicated in
FIG. 9.
• Be sure to place the Button Label face-down inside the Key Cap (see FIG. 9),
otherwise the label will be seen in reverse once the Key Cap is installed.
3. Install the Key Cap on the pushbutton (see FIG. 10).
Note: Verify that the vertical orientation of the Button Label is correct relative to the
keypad.
a. Gently press the bottom of the Key Cap (no clip) onto the pushbutton.
Do not allow the clips on either side to engage.
b. With the bottom of the Key Cap secured, gently press the top of the Key
Cap. This action will engage both clips simultaneously, and the Key Cap
will snap into place on the push button.
Note: Be careful to follow these procedures closely - the bottom of the Key Cap must
be installed on the pushbutton before the Key Cap clips engage, or there is a risk of
the button being misaligned.
Removing Key Caps
If a Key Cap needs to be removed, the user should lift it very carefully from one side
to prevent damage to the button, as indicated in FIG. 11:
AMX recommends finalizing the ControlPad configuration prior to Key Cap and
button label installation to avoid unnecessary removal of Key Caps.
Re-Assembling the ControlPad
Follow these steps to re-assemble the keypad.
1. With all button Key Caps in place, put the faceplate over the circuit board.
2. Use the supplied #6 screws to secure the faceplate to the circuit board. There
are two screw holes on the top of the faceplate rim, and two on the bottom. Use
either the Torx screws or #4 Phillips-head screws to attach the faceplate. Use a
Torx driver with a T8 tip for the Torx screws; use a Phillips-head screwdriver for
the Phillips-head screws.
3. Reattach the knob to the faceplate and screw it in as far as it can go.You
should be able to press the knob as a button for extra functionality.
4. Tighten the knob in place using a .050" hex driver in the hole in the side of the
knob.
Refer to the NOVARA 3000-Series ControlPads & Keypads Operation/Reference
Guide (available at www.amx.com) for additional installation details and configuration
instructions.
