Frequently asked questions
Are these two products compatible with each other?
Yes. The HPX-U400-R-MET-7E is a module designed to insert into the 12-space HPX-1200SL chassis, occupying 4 of the 12 available spaces. The HPX-1200SL is the host platform; the keypad module is an accessory for it.
Do I need both products, or can I use just one?
You need the HPX-1200SL as the foundation if you want any connectivity. The HPX-U400-R-MET-7E keypad is optional and adds control capability only if you want tactile buttons to manage audio, video, or system functions within an existing HydraPort chassis.
What is the skill level required to install each?
The HPX-1200SL is a professional-level installation requiring proper flush-mounting into furniture or cabinetry. The HPX-U400-R-MET-7E requires intermediate to advanced skill and assumes you already have an HPX-1200SL installed; it slides into a vacant module slot and connects via PoE Ethernet.
What environments are these suited for?
Both are designed for stationary indoor AV installations in corporate boardrooms, auditoriums, and conference facilities with climate control. Neither is rated for portable, mobile, or outdoor use.
