I can't get the RCS KPL7 to do the initial handshake with the OmniPro II (3.9)
Presently Im getting the alternating blinking LEDs ,
"OPERATION : Upon power up the KPL7's LED will sequence and then settle into an alternating flashing pattern indicating that the unit is waiting for handshake from the network controller,(CS30/308/40). The LEDs will turn OFF after the first 'Read Switch' command is received"
(See full Attachment below: KPL7 Protocol p1, - Note this article is referencing the Commstar Controller and not the OmniPro II )

Do I have KPL-7 Addressing correct?
(Also see KPL7 Address Switch Positions, KPL7 Protocol p1 and p2)
KPL-7 Switch #1
Binary encodes position: 1-4 Off
When: Scene Switch: KP0-PB1 to KP0-PB7
Command: !KL16R^M
Serial Port connection: 3
KPL-7 Switch #2
Binary encodes position: 1 On, 2-4 Off
When: Scene Switch: KP1-PB1 to KP1-PB7
Command: !KL01R^M
Serial Port connection: 4
-----------------------------------------
Programing tried but no handshake completed, (Presently Im getting the alternating blinking LEDs on both KPL7 switches )
- EVERY 5 SECONDS
THEN SEND !KL16R^M OUT SERIAL 3
THEN SEND !KL01R^M OUT SERIAL 4
(Worthington tutorial 102-HAI PCAccess 3.0 Setup, #52. Messages: said to use “^M” for carriage return)
(also tried)
- EVERY 5 SECONDS
THEN SEND !KL16R[cr] OUT SERIAL 3
THEN SEND !KL01R[cr] OUT SERIAL 4
(KPL-7 Protocol: said to use “[cr]” for carriage return)
———————————
Haven't been able to try this programing yet, for use of switch - but believe this is correct for operation of the KPL7 1-7 buttons?
Switch #1 - 1st button only
- WHEN SCENE KP0-PB1 OR HAI 1 TRIGGERED OR CENTRALITE 1 PRESSED
THEN 1stHall-Main ON
Switch #2 - 1st button only
- WHEN SCENE KP1-PB1 OR HAI 9 TRIGGERED OR CENTRALITE 9 PRESSED
THEN Bsmnt Ceilng ON

KPL-7 Scene Switch Installation Tips
The following tips can be time saving in the proper setup and operation of the RCS KPL-7 Seven Button Scene Switch. This article is for controllers with 2.15a or older firmware. KPL7 support is built into controllers with firmware 2.16 and higher.
1 Wiring – the KPL-7 has a 4-terminal connection block and the terminal should be wired to the Leviton controller as follows:
a 12V – connect to an Auxiliary 12V “+” terminal on the HAI controller (NOTE: Do not connect to the Switched 12V “+”).
b G – connect to any “GND” terminal on the Leviton controller.
c B+ - connect to Pin 5 of the controller’s on-board serial port (NOTE: “A” terminal when using a 10A17-1 Serial Interface Module).
d A- - connect to Pin 4 of the controller’s on-board serial port (NOTE: “B” terminal when using the 10A17-1 Serial Interface Module).
2 KPL-7 Addressing – each KPL-7 requires a unique, which is based on the 4-position dip switch. NOTE: The addressing convention begins at “0”.
3 RS-232 Jumper – the KPL-7 communicates via RS-485. When using an on-board serial port, the jumper below the port must be moved to the RS-485 position (middle and right pins).
4 Serial Rate and Function – the Serial Rate should be set to 9600 Baud (default), and the Serial Function must be set to Pro-Link. NOTE: Serial Port 1 can not be used - you must use Serial Ports 2-5.
5 Controller Firmware – the controller firmware must be 2.16 or later, in order to have access to the “built-in” command set. If the controller does not have 2.16 or later firmware, the KPL-7 can still be used, but the commands will have to be named under Setup>>Names>>Messages. This can reduce the amount of control possibilities.
