OVERVIEW
The RP-Touch keypad joins Vantage’s premiere backlit control point stations and is used to replace
multiple conventional switches. Each button is evenly backlit with a built in diffuser and three color
LED providing an array of color choices*, lighting only the lettering on each button. Engraving is
created using state of the art laser etching. Keypads may be designed in single or multiple gang
congurations. Each gang may have a two-four buttons in a single column or six-eight buttons in
two columns. The backlight, customizable color indicates the status of the programmed button. The
keypad also features an ambient light sensor for automatic day/night backlight intensity control.
Faceplates are available in metal or plastic. See Design Center software for nishes.
NOTES TO INSTALLER
RP-TOUCH LEDs
Current technology does not allow LED suppliers to guarantee color values. It is common to have a slight difference among LEDs,
however, this is not too noticeable with backlit engraving. Historically, blue and red LEDs are more consistent than green LEDs.
Because of this slight variation it is recommended that one or two stations be pre-programmed with the colors the client is requesting
and that these stations be shown to the client for their nal approval before ordering and installing.
RP-TOUCH AUTO BACKLIGHT
The Auto Backlight feature for RP-Touch keypads will not change all keypads at the same time.
Description:
RP-Touch keypads incorporate a built-in light sensor. When enabled through Vantage software the sensor will change the brightness
of the button LEDs depending on the ambient lighting. For example, in normal light the buttons would be bright. In extremely low
light conditions, as at night time with all the lights off, the buttons would be dimmed to a very low level. Many conditions lend to the
phenomenon of keypads not changing at the same time. The location of each keypad is primary. In multiple gang situations more light
may be on one part of the multi-ganged station causing the auto backlight feature to operate differently in that section of the multi-
gang. Many other lighting factors, even less noticeable to the human eye, can affect, auto backlight sensors, intended results.
Solution:
Because manufacture variations are inherent in light sensors and the conditions mentioned above are inevitable, it is not always
practical to use the Auto Backlight feature. This feature may be turned off in Software. If the Auto Backlight feature is not working as
the client and installer intends, Vantage Controls recommends using one of the following two suggestions to control the brightness of
EasyTouch II buttons.
1. Edit the LED style for RP-Touch buttons by creating two Modes*. Each mode can use the same ON/OFF colors at very different
intensities. Create two Time Controls. One for Sunrise and one for Sunset. Program the time controls to assign the appropriate
Mode.
-OR-
2. Create the two Mode LED style as described in step one. Install a Vantage light sensor and program the light sensor to change
the modes of all the EasyTouch II stations at once in an area.

AUXILIARY CONNECTIONS
All auxiiary connections to the station are wired to a six wire pigtail available from Vantage. Motion detectors, wood and metal door
contacts, light sensors, etc., are available from Vantage. They work by simply connecting them to the 6-wire Auxiliary connector
on any RP-Touch keypad. A 15 mA @ 12V DC power supply for Vantage’s Motion detectors, LightPoint sensors and remote IR is
supplied from this connection eliminating the need for an external power supply. Buttons 9 and 10 may be used as phantom buttons
or in some cases they may be used as slave keypad buttons. NOTE: Secondary keypads are not available with RP-Touch buttons.
AVOID GROUND LOOPS WITH AUXILIARY CONNECTIONS
Auxiliary connections to the station are wired to a six wire pigtail, including motion detectors, door contacts, light sensors, etc. Each
aux. connection supplies a 15mA @ 12V DC power source, eliminating the need for an external power supply. Aux. powered devices
using the Black wire should not be earth grounded unless isolated.
INFUSION
Starting a new project, rst in the Project Explorer click on Style/Prole View. Right-click on Keypad Styles and select Add Keypad
Style. In the Object Editor window ll in all the information for the keypad style including the RP-Touch Button Shape and remember
to check or uncheck the AutoLight check box. While still in Style/Prole View, right-click on LED Styles and create a new RP-Touch
LED style based on BriteStyle LEDs. Next select the room, then click on Vantage Objects in the Object Explorer and expand Stations,
WireLink. From the list of stations double-click on Keypad Station to place it in the room. In the Object Editor name the station, make
sure it is on the correct station bus port and make any other modications. Right-click on the keypad in the Object Editor for additional
settings.
QLINK LIMITED SUPPORT
If the RP-Touch keypad is used in QLink it should be treated and programmed as a standard BriteStyle keypad. When ordering,
special instructions would have to be given because QLink will not allow the creation of the RP-Touch in the project le.
CONFIGURATION
When the station is rst connected to the Station Bus, the diagnostic LED will blink twice followed by a pause, meaning that the
station is connected correctly but not yet congured. From Design Center, click on the Congure Stations button on the toolbar.
Highlight the RP-Touch Keypad. The Status LED will blink 5 times followed by a pause and the button LEDs will blink rapidly
indicating that the station is in conguration mode. To nish conguring press any button on the Station 3 times. The station may
also be congured by typing the serial number in the project le, using this method the station will automatically be congured when
the system is programmed. Please note, if the serial number contains an alpha character please ignore this when typing in serial
numbers. Once congured the Status LED will be off and the buttons stop blinking.

JOINING STATIONS TOGETHER
With the EasyGang station design multiple stations easily snap together to build multi-gang stations.
1. Carefully break off the left, right or both tabs when ganging stations.
NOTE: only break both tabs off on inside stations, with three or more gangs.
2. Align the two stations being joined making sure that UP is the same for both stations.
3. Carefully align locking groves to mesh correctly. Gently press the two halves together until they lock. The joined stations may then
be straightened to secure the lock.
CLEANING
Dampen a soft cloth in water and wring-out to barely damp:
• Use a light bufng motion to wipe clean
• Do not take the station apart
• Never spray station with any cleaners
ASSEMBLY
STATUS LED AND DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION
If the faceplate is removed the Status LED can be seen in approximately the middle of the station’s switch matrix. The Status LED is
off or blinks 2, 3, 4 or 5 times followed by a pause to indicate status information.
OFF: Station is operating correctly and is congured.
NOTE: if the Station Bus has not been connected or the controller has no power the status led as well as the button LEDs will be off,
also the station buttons will not sound when pressed. If a problem is being diagnosed make sure the station bus has power and is
properly connected.
TWO BINKS: Station is operating correctly but is not congured.
THREE BLINKS: Station is not communicating with the Controller. Verify that Station Bus wiring conforms to Vantage guidelines.
FOUR BLINKS: Station problem. Please contact the factory.
FIVE BLINKS: Conguration mode.

IMPORTANT LED LIGHTING INFORMATION
MULTI-VIEW LINE DRAWING: RP-TOUCH MATRIX
Vantage is leading the way in LED lighting control through innovations of new hardware and software products; however, industry
standards are still undefined for dimming LED lamps and fixtures. Dimming performance of LED lighting cannot be guaranteed,
even when applying the correct dimming technology specified by the LED manufacturer. While Vantage may be consulted when
performance issues are present, Vantage will not be liable for on-site performance issues. Vantage recommends the following to
assist installers and lighting specifiers:
• Check Vantage’s online library of LED product test reports prior to installing LED products to be dimmed by Vantage dimmers
• Utilize our on-demand product testing of untested LED products - Please contact Vantage for details regarding this service
• Selecting a tested product greatly increases the likelihood of successful dimming; however, LED product tests are performed under
laboratory conditions with a set number of samples and a quality power source
• There are many factors that may contribute to unsatisfactory results within a specific installation, including, but not limited to:
- Line noise originating from electrical equipment within the premises
- Line noise from the source (particularly with local generators or inverters)
- Interference between dimmed LED products
- Wiring conditions (i.e. shared neutrals, loose neutrals, incorrectly bonded neutral, or grounding issues)
- LED product variances, including:
• Unintended batch-related variances
• Product revisions
