Key Digital KD-WP8-3, 8 Button Programmable IP, RS-232, IR Control Keypad

The Key Digital® KD-WP8-3 is an eight-button control keypad. It fits into a single-gang wall box and is PoE-powered.

It's easy to program the KD-WP8-3 via web GUI to send commands directly to IP-controlled devices over the network.

Additionally, it can also send commands to RS-232 and IR devices through the built-in control port.

Integration with Key Digital Master Controllers

KD-WP8-3 may also be integrated with Key Digital Master Controllers to control additional IR, RS-232, and voltage relay devices. You can configure button events as desired for press, release, toggle, or press-and-hold actions.
