2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 CONNECTING THE KEYPAD
The Digiplex™ LCD keypads are connected to the control panel's
bus in a star and/or daisy chain configuration. This 4-wire
communication bus provides power and two-way communication
between the control panel and all modules connected to it. Connect
the four terminals labeled red, black, green and yellow of each
keypad to the corresponding terminals on the control panel as shown
in Figure 2.1. Refer to the Digiplex Control Panel's Reference &
Installation Manual for the maximum allowable installation distance
from the control panel.
2.2 CONNECTING KEYPAD ZONES
Each keypad has one traditional hardwired input terminal, allowing you
to connect one detector or door contact directly to the keypad. For
example, a door contact located at the entry point of an establishment
can be wired directly to the input terminal of the entry point keypad
instead of wiring the door contact all the way to the control panel.
Connect the device to the keypad's input terminal as shown in Figure
2.1. In order to communicate its status to the control panel, devices
connected to the keypad's input terminal must be assigned to a zone
in the control panel and the zone's parameters must be defined. For
more information on zone assignment, please refer to the Digiplex
Control Panel's Reference & Installation Manual. Please note that
even with the ATZ (zone doubling) feature enabled, the keypad
supports only one detection device.
