Installation
Unpacking
The LCD5501Z package includes the following
parts:
One LCD5501Z keypad
Four mounting screws
One keypad inner door label
One set of Fire, Auxiliary and Panic key labels
Mounting
You should mount the keypad where it is acces-
sible to designated points of entry and exit.
Once you have selected a dry and secure
location, perform the following steps to mount
the keypad:
1. Remove the keypad backplate by loosening the
screw located at the base of the unit.
2. Secure the keypad backplate to the wall in the
desired location. Use the screws provided.
3. Before attaching the keypad to its backplate,
complete the keypad wiring as described in the
next section.

4
Wiring
1. Before beginning to wire the unit, ensure that
all power (AC transformer and battery) is
disconnected from the control panel.
2. Connect the four Keybus wires from the control
panel (red, black, yellow and green) to the
keypad terminals (R B Y G). Consult the diagram
below:
3. You can connect a device - such as a door
contact - to the “Z” terminal of the LCD5501Z.
This eliminates the need to run wires back to
the control panel for the device. To connect the
zone, run one wire from the device to the Z
terminal and the other wire from the device to
the B (black) terminal. For powered devices,
run the red wire to the R (positive) terminal and
the black wire to the B (negative) terminal. When
using end of line supervision, connect the zone
according to one of the configurations outlined
in your system’s Installation Manual .
Applying Power
Once all wiring is complete, apply power to the
control panel:
1. Connect the battery leads to the battery.
2. Connect the AC transformer.
For more information on control panel power
specifications, see the control panel
Installation
Manual .
NOTE: Do not connect the power until all wiring is
complete.
Enrolling the Keypad
Once all wiring is complete, you will need to
enter a 2-digit number that tells the system the
partition and slot assignment of the keypad.
If your system has partitions, you will need to
also assign the keypad to a partition (1st digit).
The slot assignment (2nd digit) tells the panel
which keypad slots are occupied. The panel
can then generate a fault when a keypad
supervisory signal is not present. There are
eight available slots for keypads. LCD5501Z
keypads are always assigned to slot 1 by
default. You will need to assign each keypad
to its own slot (1 to 8).
Enter the following at each keypad installed on
the system:
1. Enter Installer Programming by pressing
[*][8][Installer’s Code]
2. Press [000] for Keypad Programming
3. Press [0] for Partition and Slot Assignment
4. Enter a two digit number to specify the
partition and slot assignment.
NOTE: If your system does not have partitions,
enter [1] for the first digit.
1st digit Enter 0 for Global Keypad
Enter 1 for Partition 1 Keypad
Enter 2 for Partition 2 Keypad
Enter 3 for Partition 3 Keypad
Enter 4 for Partition 4 Keypad
Enter 5 for Partition 5 Keypad
Enter 6 for Partition 6 Keypad
Enter 7 for Partition 7 Keypad
Enter 8 for Partition 8 Keypad
2nd digit Enter 1 to 8 for Slot Assignment
5. Press the [#] key twice to exit programming.
6. After assigning all keypads, perform a
supervisory reset by entering [*][8][Installer’s
Code][902]. The panel will now supervise all
assigned keypads and enrolled modules on
the system.

5
Programming the Keypad
There are several programming options avail-
able for the LCD5501Z keypad. These are
described below. Record all your programming
choices in the programming worksheets in-
cluded in this manual.
Programming the LCD5501Z is similar to program-
ming the rest of the system. When you are in the
LCD5501Z programming sections, the keypad will
display which options are turned on along the top
of the display. To turn an option on or off, press the
number corresponding to the option on the
number pad. The numbers of the options that are
currently turned ON will be displayed.
