1.0 What is the WK-EOS-6? The WK-EOS-6 is a 6-button Wired keypad used in a Rako Wired Network.

Through Rasoft Pro, commands can be assigned to the buttons to perform actions, such as switching a Scene for a Room or closing Blinds.

Commands include:

Scenes 1 to 16 Toggles for individual Channels or Rooms. Fade Up/Fade Down for individual Channels or Rooms Levels (0-100%) Multiple commands on a single input Press and hold Press and release Whole House commands

2.0 Installation

Installation should only be carried out by a competent electrician.

NB The WK-EOS-6 comes in two parts, the installation guide refers to the ‘Back’ as the part which has the cable connections, and the ‘Front’ which has a four-pin connector which contains all of the programming.

Prepare cable(s) in the backbox ready for 1 connection.

Set the front section of the WK-EOS-6 aside, as this is not yet required.

Strip 70mm from the CAT5/CAT6 cable.

NB Ensure there is enough slack on the cable to make re-termination easier should it be required.

Using a Punch-down tool, connect the cable 2 cores to the labelled inputs on the WK-EOS-6 ‘Back’ section.

Ensure that the cable cores are not loose in the connector, as this will result in intermittent faults.

Set the appropriate jumper termination on the 3 ‘back’ section of the WK-EOS-6, the termination arrangement will depend on the WK-EOS-6’s position in the Wired network, see section 4 for more information.

Clip the front section of the WK-EOS-6 into the 4 grid and connect the front section of the WK-EOS-6 to the back section of the which has the cable connections.

Screw the grid for the screwless cover plate into the backbox.

Clip the cover plate into the grid to complete 5 installation, if there is power on the Wired network, the WK-EOS-6 will illuminate.

3.0 Terminating the WK-EOS It is important to terminate WK-EOS correctly otherwise the Wired system will not function. The termination that is required depends on the nature of the installation and the position of the RAK-LINK within the system.

No Term - Both Jumpers removed Used when the WK-EOS is not at the end of line. This is usually identifiable by two cables being punched down to the WCM.

Term - Jumper fitted across 1+2 & 4+5 Used when the WK-EOS is end of line in a daisy chain configuration.

Star Term - Jumper fitted across 2+3 & 5+6 Used when the WK-EOS is the end of line in a STAR wire configuration.

4.0 Programming the WK-EOS-6 Before the WK-EOS-6 can operate Lighting or Blinds, it must be programmed into a Wired system using Rasoft Pro and a WK-HUB.

For instructions on how to do this, please refer to the Wired programming guide: Wired system setup guide.

For a general overview, see the Wired RAK application sheet.
