After wiring the keypad, mount it onto the mounting plate
by seating the mounting hook openings over the mounting
hooks and then sliding the keypad down.
Apply power to the system and test for proper operation.
3.5 | Mount the keypad
CAUTION!
Remove all power (AC and battery) before making
any connections. Failure to do so might result in
personal injury and/or equipment damage.
You can connect keypads to the SDI2 data bus by parallel wire
run from the control panel to each keypad, wire from keypad to
keypad, or a combination of the two techniques.
Refer to Figure 3.3.
2 | SDI2 address switches
Address switches determine the address for the keypad. The
control panel uses the address for communications. Use a
ballpoint pen to set the switches.

The keypads have 6 DIP switches that support SDI2
addresses 00 to 32. Use the switches to set the keypad
address per the control panel configuration.
If multiple SDI2 keypads reside on the same system, each
SDI2 keypad must have a unique address. Figure 2.2 shows
the address switch setting for address 01. Refer to Table 2.1
for keypad address settings for address 00 to 32.
2.2 | Set the keypad address
Removing the mounting plate from the back of the keypad:
1. Insert a slotted screwdriver under the retention clip to
release it. Do not pry upwards. Refer to Figure 2.1.
2. With your other hand, slide the mounting plate towards
the bottom of the keypad to unhook the mounting plate
from the keypad. Refer to Figure 2.1.
3. Remove the mounting plate.

Figure 1.1: Keypad base overview
The B915 and B915I keypads are SDI2 bus devices. The
keypads connect to the bus using terminal wiring. You can
connect more than one keypad to the control panel by wiring
them in parallel.
You can program, diagnose, and troubleshoot the system from
the control panel keypad as well as remotely through Remote
Programming Software (RPS).
The B915 function keys are labeled in English. The B915I
function keys are labeled with icons.
The keypad display shows two-line system messages.
Users can adjust the keypad display brightness level, and they
can turn the keypad’s nightlight feature on or off.
Users can adjust keypad volume, and they can turn the key tone
(short tone emitted when a key is pressed) on or off.

To show the keypad firmware version, r
emove and then
restore power. The keypad shows the model number, keypad
address, and firmware version for 10 seconds.
You can momentarily remove power at the keypad (or at the
control panel by disconnecting and then reconnecting the
wire from the “R” terminal.
7 | Show the firmware version
NOTICE!
You can also view a keypad’s firmware version in RPS.
The control panel supervises all keypads on the SDI2 bus.
If a supervised keypad fails to respond to the control panel,
the control panel declares a Missing Keypad Trouble. When
the control panel can again communicate with the keypad, it
restores the Missing Keypad Trouble.
During a Missing Keypad Trouble, any connected keypad that
maintained contact with the control panel shows the Missing
Keypad Trouble as its idle text, and shows the missing
keypad’s address. The communicating keypads also sound a
trouble tone. Users can silence the trouble tone. If no other
troubles exist, the tone silences when the missing keypad
restores.
6 | Supervision
5 | Audible tones
The keypad has a built-in sounder that produces several distinct
warning tones. The keypad backlight illuminates when it emits
an audible tone.
Tone Description
Fire signal When an area is in fire alarm, the keypad
emits a pulsed, high-pitched bell tone.
Gas signal When a gas point activates, the keypad
emits a unique high pitched tone.
User alarm When a user alarm (such as panic and
medical alarms) occurs, the tone sounds
for the programmed amount of time.
Burglary signal When an area is in alarm, the keypad
emits a steady, high pitched bell tone.
Entrance

The keypad emits an intermittent beep
tone during entry delay periods to remind
the user to disarm the area.
Exit warning The keypad emits an intermittent beep
tone during exit delay.

Trouble buzzer When a trouble event occurs, such as a
service alert, the keypad emits a two-tone
warble until you enter a programmed
passcode with the appropriate authority.
Watch tone A single clean tweedle tone alerts the
user anytime a watch point is faulted.
