2 Reference & Installation Manual
2.0 Installation
The LCD keypad (DGP2-641) is connected to the control panel's
combus in a star and/or daisy chain configuration. The 4-wire
combus 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 (refer
to Figure 2.1 on page 3). Refer to DGP-848 or DGP-NE96
Reference & Installation Manual for the maximum allowable
installation distance from the control panel.
2.1 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 on page 3. In order to communicate its status to the
control panel, the keypad's input 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 DGP-
848 or DGP-NE96 Reference & Installation Manual. Please note
that even with the ATZ (zone doubling) feature enabled, the
keypad supports only one detection device.

2.2 Programmable Output
Each keypad has one on-board PGM. A PGM is a programmable
output that switches to its opposite state (i.e. a normally open
PGM will close) when a specific event has occurred in the
system (refer to section 5.0 on page 14). Upon activation, the
PGM can provide 50mA to any device connected to it. If the
current drawn is to exceed the current limit, a relay should be
connected to the PGM as shown in Figure 2.1.
Figure 2.1: Connecting the Keypad and Keypad Zone
* The keypad
zone follows the
control panel’s
EOL definition.
The zone speed
is set at 600mS
and cannot be
programmed.
Note: The keypad’s anti-tamper
switch will communicate its status to
the control panel via the combus.
Note: A keypad’s input must be
assigned to a zone, keyswitch or
virtual input in the control panel.
