I am sorry if I took a larger bite then I should have and will send it back as soon as I crap it out.Spanky @ Jun 18 2006 said:I am still looking for the other butt cheek that was chewed off in this thread.
This is an option but not an economical one. If I took the KP1 with an Internal prox and compared it to a KP2 with the recessed kit, External Prox and External Temperature Probe the price would be about 45 bucks more not counting the extra cables that would have to be installed if I am using the Data Bus Hub or want a speaker.Spanky @ Jun 18 2006 said:For now, remember there is a remote temperature sensor/probe that can connect to zones 1 - 16 on the M1 and be displayed on the KP2 LCD.
Any response?Spanky said:I am still looking for the other butt cheek that was chewed off in this thread.
You guys are passionate about your keypad temperature sensors. Your comments will be brought up in the Monday morning engineering meeting.
For now, remember there is a remote temperature sensor/probe that can connect to zones 1 - 16 on the M1 and be displayed on the KP2 LCD.
It is discussions like this that helps us make the products you want.
Thanks.
Can you use the AprilAire temp- sensors and read the display on the KP@ keypad? The reason I ask is the AprilAire temp sensor is much smaller and fits flush with a little drilling for mounting.ellisr63 said:Any response?Spanky said:I am still looking for the other butt cheek that was chewed off in this thread.

Has this speaker Spanky mentioned been released? I did not see it in the list of optional items for the keypad.Spanky said:There is a location in the back of the surface or recessed back box on the KP2 for a new speaker that Output 1 on the M1 can connect to.
This new speaker is a 32 ohm 10 - 15 watt and sounds very good. The nice thing about 32 ohm speakers is that you can wire 8 of them in parallel for a 4 ohm load, they draw a small amount of current, and make very little heat thus difficult to blow out.
Hmm, was this the external prox reader, or the internal prox reader that fits in the back of the recessed box? It is the internal one, right?Spanky said:There is a location in the back of the surface or recessed back box on the KP2 for a new speaker that Output 1 on the M1 can connect to. We found out today that the ELK external Prox Reader will also fit in the back of the recessed backbox along with the new speaker. There is about a 3 inch read range on the Prox cards from the front of the KP2.
