ENABLE THE KEYPAD ADDRESS
The default keypad address the SEM uses is Keypad 8 Device Address 23. If this
keypad address is disabled, the SEM and panel will not communicate properly.
However, at first power-up, the SEM will attempt to enable this address automatically. If
unsuccessful, the address must be enabled manually via programming *196.
DISARM AND POWER DOWN THE PANEL
1. Verify the panel is disarmed and clear of any alarms, troubles, or system faults.
2. If you do not know the current installer code, check the installer code at the panel before
powering down the panel.
3. Then remove AC power and disconnect the backup battery to completely power down the
system.
AFTER POWERING DOWN THE SYSTEM:
REMOVE THIRD PARTY COMMUNICATION
If there are any third-party communicators installed or a POTS line connected to the panel, remove them.
The SEM is not compatible with POTS, IP/GSM devices, or other third-party communicators. Therefore,
the SEM should be the only communication device installed for alarm signaling to the monitoring station.
INSPECT FOR PERIPHERAL DEVICES
1. Take inventory of all peripheral devices (wireless receivers, zone expanders, keypads, power
supplies, etc.) wired to the system.
2. Inspect the wiring to verify there are no loose ends or intermittent connections between the
device and system. The presence of peripheral device issues can often cause the SEM
installation process to take longer than expected.
