The KT03 is connected to Comfort by 6 wires (use CAT 5 preferably shielded), exactly the same as any other Comfort Keypad.

The KT03 screens and buttons are programmed using Comfigurator (use Comfigurator 3.9.x or later), but a separate programming connection to KT03 is needed. The KT03 has its own USB interface accessed when the Front Bezel is removed. The supplied USB cable is connected to an unused USB port on your computer. You do not need another UCM to connect to KT03. The same USB driver is used as the UCM/USB. When programming Comfort with one or more KT03s, you will need to Write to KT03, as well as Write to Comfort. Each KT03 contains its own Flash memory for its screens, images and behaviour.

To start, Connect the KT03 to Comfort. To set the ID of the KT03  go to the KT03 Home screen which will look something like this



Press Setup to go to the setup screenA keypad will appear for you to enter the user code. Please enter the user 1 code which is the master code which is allowed to enter programming mode.If the code is authorised, the Setup menu appears



Select ID, then set the ID of the KT03 from 1 to 8.Unlike other Comfort Keypads, the ID is set on screen instead of by shunts.

Press Back to accept the ID and  go back to Setup.


Connect the UCM (USB, RS232 or Eth) to the PC, open a new file, go to the Modules Tab, Right Click and Scan for Keypads (or Scan All Modules)


a popup window will appear asking for the user code
This scans for all the keypads and modules connected to Comfort.The KT03 should appear after scanning
(If the KT03 is not connected to Comfort at this time, then right-click on Keypads and select Add Keypad.)

The result after scanning should be similar to the screen below, where keypads including KT03 are shown with individual IDs 1 to 8. Select the Keypad on the left pane which corresponds to the KT03 in this example ID2



In Keypad Properties;
  • Id is the Keypad ID of this KT03. It can be from 1 to 8
  • Name is the name assigned to this keypad using Comfigurator
  • Type should be KT03
  • Volume is the volume of the voice on this KT03 (0 to 100)
In KT03 Properties,
  • Orientation can be Landscape or Portrait for the screen
  • Character Set (Latin-1, Latin-2, Latin-3, Latin-4 and Chinese) allows different languages to be selected for text display
  • Home Page shows the KT03 Home Page shown on power on or reset
  • USB Serial Number should show the discovered USB serial Number.  To find the USB serial number, connect the SB cable between the KT03 and PC and after the driver has been installed, click on USB serial number and look for the serial number in the drop down list. Note that this is the USB connection of the KT03, NOT for the UCM/USB.
In KT03 System Properties,
  • ID, Beep, Speaker, Announcements, Screen Timeout, backlight, IR Receive, Speaker Internal/External,  Tamper  settings can be seen
Load Template in the menu bar to load a .kt3x file with a sample page design
Look in Comfigurator> Config folder

A sample KT03 configuration file is attached for reference to be used for the rest of this exercise which shall be updated

The Tabs across the top of the KT03 page has Properties (this page), Pages, Schedules and Triggers, which shall be explained next
