About the KP-400004-00 Keypad Kit
The KP-400004-00 is a remote keypad used to operate Benshaw MX2- and MX3-based soft starters from a panel door or convenient operator location. It connects to the starter's main control board through the supplied 2-meter RS485 cable and gives operators a local interface for commissioning, adjusting parameters, viewing status, and monitoring the starter. It is supplied as a complete kit — keypad, cable, 24 VDC supply, ferrite-core suppressor, and 120/240 V wiring harness — so it can be installed as a direct replacement for a failed or aging remote keypad.
What the KP-400004-00 Replaces
The KP-400004-00 is the current replacement for the Benshaw KPMX3CBL2M, the small remote keypad supplied with a 2-meter cable for connection to the soft starter's main power BIPC control board. If you are replacing a KPMX3CBL2M, the KP-400004-00 is the current equivalent kit. If your existing keypad carries a different Benshaw part number, confirm the correct replacement with Kent Electrical Supply before ordering.
