ATEN 4-KEY Contact Closure Remote PAD - VPK104

ATEN VPK104 4-Button Contact Closure Remote Keypad

Overview

The ATEN VPK104 is a compact 4-button contact closure remote pad designed for installations where operators need discrete, hardwired trigger control — typical in AV switching, presentation control, and AV control system environments. The VPK104 provides four independent contact closure outputs, each wired via captive screw connectors, giving integrators a reliable mechanical-contact interface that doesn't depend on IP network availability or software handshakes. Where a touchscreen panel is overkill and a relay-triggered button is all the job requires, this keypad earns its place in the rack or on a pole.

Compatibility

The VPK104 is designed for use with compatible ATEN control and switching systems that accept contact closure input. Confirm your ATEN controller or matrix switcher exposes a contact closure port before ordering — not every ATEN product in the lineup supports external remote pad input. Consult the parent device's datasheet to verify the VPK104 is listed as a supported accessory for that specific model. It is not a standalone controller and cannot be used independently of a compatible host device.

Installation Notes

Each of the four buttons terminates via a 2-pole captive screw connector — no crimping tools required, but a small flat-head screwdriver and correctly stripped wire ends are needed for clean terminations. The unit is rated for 0–80% RH, non-condensing, which means it suits indoor environments including rack rooms, presentation spaces, and climate-controlled server areas, but is not suitable for outdoor deployment or high-humidity industrial settings without additional enclosure protection. Mounting options include pole and rack configurations — verify the physical footprint against your enclosure before installation, as dimensional data is not published in the available specification sheet.
