drmark12pa Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Is there a difference between these two configurable dimmer keypads? Have multiple KC120277 but none of the KD120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Kc = keypad only KD = keypad dimmer. Meaning a load can also be connected to it that is dimmable drmark12pa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning a load can also be connected to it that is dimmable Can the C4-KD120 act as a on/off switch instead of dimmer? I currently have a three-way wire for my garage overhead lights. I believe that the switch in the garage is a C4-FPD120 which I am considering changing to a C4-KD120. The 2nd switch for the three-way wiring is a C4-KA. For this wiring situation can the C4-KA be changed with to C4-KC120277. In summary current three way is controlled C4-FPD120 and C4-KA, with my thought to install a C4-KD120 and C4-KC120277? Would this work? As I can repurpose/reprogram the C4-FPD120 and C4-KA in my project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C4 User Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 As long as your load is dimmable and you bypass the three way and power the keypad this should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, as getting quotes to re-due parts of my system, a dealer mentioned changing the C4-FPD120 at the bottom of my garage stairs to a programable keypad with three buttons for scenes, such as Lights, Home, and Away. However, he didn't mentioned anything about changing out the C4-KA. I assume that the C4-KA in the hallway can be switched out for a C4-KC120277? Thank you, as this is why I asked on this forum--getting too much conflicting information with my onsite walkthrough quotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Yes. A aux and keypad are theoretically the same but with a few major differences the biggest that with a aux if your system goes down it still works. With a keypad on the far end your system needs to be up to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAV Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 We also would not replace a KA with a KC when stairs, or other safety necessary locations, are involved. IBZICON 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using your suggestion and staying with the KA for the stairways. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
