CHAPTER 2 – ABOUT THE KEYPAD
RP248KCL(LCDKeypad)
The control panel RP248CN supports LCD Keypad. Each main board can work with 16 LCD
Keypads at most.
The keypads display system status by its LED indicators and LCD display. Through its keys,
can arm and disarm the system, bypass intrusion zones, report emergencies, stop the siren,
stop calling follow-me number, checking the trouble, program the system etc.

The RP208CN control panel should install in the aridity, near by AC power supply which
can't be power off and connect the ground well and be easy to connect the phone line. Use
tool correctly, avoiding the damage toward the equipments.
The keypad is generally installed in the open side of the entry, and the height should be
easy to user. The Tamper Button on the back cover of the keypad can prevent the keypad
from being broken or tore down, turn on it and depress it tightly to the wall while installing.
Please connect the 4 lines of the keypad with the main board respectively according to the
red, black, yellow and green sequence. Such as Fig.2 shows.
When more than one Keypad is to be connected, please make all the keypads as parallel
connection. Set a individual code for each Keypad by the dial switch on it and programming
the control panel.
