The VERSA-LCDM-WRL wireless keypad enables operation and programming of the control panels
of VERSA (firmware version 1.04 or newer), VERSA IP and VERSA Plus series. The device is
designed for work within the ABAX two-way wireless system. It is supported by the ACU-120 /
ACU-270 controller connected to the VERSA / VERSA IP / VERSA Plus control panel.
The VERSA-LCDM-WRL keypad is not supported by the ARU-100 radio signal repeater.

2. Description
Operating modes
The keypad can work in two modes:
active mode – started by pressing any key. Additionally, the active mode can be started automatically
when an alarm occurs or an entry delay, an exit delay or an auto-arming delay begins (see
description of the
W AKE - UP parameter, section “Settings stored in ABAX system controller” p. 5).
In this mode, the keypad operates in much the same way as the LCD wired keypad. The display is
ON and the backlight, LED signaling and sound signaling are active.
inactive mode – is started:
– after 20 seconds since the last key press,
– after preset time, if the active mode was started automatically (see description of the
W AKE - UP
parameter, section “Settings stored in ABAX system controller” p. 5).
The purpose of the inactive mode is to save energy. The display is off. Backlight, LED indication
and sound signaling are disabled (if a time different from 0 is preset for the
W AKE - UP parameter,
CHIME from zones will be signaled).
Support for proximity cards
The built-in proximity card reader enables the system to be operated by using proximity cards (any
125 kHz passive transponder in the form of a card, tag, etc.). If the alarm system is not to be operated
by using the proximity cards, the reader can be disabled (thus reducing the battery consumption).
Periodic transmissions
Every 15 minutes, the keypad sends a periodic transmission. The purpose of such transmissions is to
monitor presence and condition of the keypad.
Battery status control
The keypad controls the status of the batteries. If the voltage is lower than 2.75 V:
low battery information is sent during each periodic transmission,
on entering the active mode, a low battery message will be displayed (the message will specify
which battery is to be replaced – the battery designation can be found on the electronics board,
after opening the enclosure).
The battery life depends on how the keypad is used. The more frequently the active mode is
entered, the quicker the batteries will be depleted.
3. Installation
There is a danger of battery explosion when using a different battery than
recommended by the manufacturer, or handling the battery improperly.
Be particularly careful during installation and replacement of the batteries. The
manufacturer is not liable for the consequences of incorrect installation of the battery.
The used batteries must not be discarded, but should be disposed of in accordance
with the existing rules for environment protection.
The keypad is designed for indoor installation. The place of installation should be readily accessible to
the system users. When selecting the installation location, take into account the communication range
of the ABAX system.
1. Open the keypad enclosure (Fig. 2).
2. Install the batteries and add the keypad to the wireless system (see: “Adding the keypad to the
wireless system”).
3. Put the cover on the catches and snap the enclosure shut.

SATEL VERSA-LCDM-WRL 3
Fig. 2. Opening the enclosure.
4. Place the keypad in the location intended for its installation.
If you want to hold the keypad in your hand when checking the radio signal level, grab the
device from its left side (on its right side, there is the antenna, which must not be covered).
5. Check the level of signal received from the keypad by the ACU-120 / ACU-270 controller. If the
signal level is lower than 40%, select another place for installation. Sometimes, it is sufficient to
shift the device ten or twenty centimeters to obtain a considerable improvement in the signal
quality. Only after the optimal level of radio signal is achieved can you proceed to the next step.
6. Open the keypad enclosure (Fig. 2).
7. Place the enclosure base against the wall and mark location of the mounting holes.
8. Drill the holes in the wall for wall plugs (screw anchors).
9. Using wall plugs (screw anchors) and screws, secure the enclosure base to the wall. Select wall
plugs and screws specifically intended for the mounting surface (different for concrete or brick
wall, different for plaster wall, etc.). When installed, the device must withstand a pull-off force of at
least 50 N.
10. Put the cover on the catches and snap the enclosure shut.
11. Lock the cover using screws.
3.1 Adding the keypad to the wireless system
Before adding the keypad, make sure that the controller switch 8 is set to ON position.

You can add the wireless keypad to the ABAX system by using either a computer with DLOADX
program installed, or an LCD keypad. The controller allows for registering of up to 6
VERSA-LCDM-WRL keypads. If no wired keypad is connected to the control panel, you can only add
the first wireless keypad using the DLOADX program (to establish communication between the
program and the control panel, you must start the service mode “from pins” – refer to the control panel
programming manual).
3.1.1 DLOADX program
You can add wireless keypads in the “VERSA – Structure” window, “Hardware” tab, after clicking on
the name of ABAX system controller on the list of devices, and then on the “LCD-WRL” tab (see:

can be found on the electronics board.
4. In the “Address” field, select which address is to be assigned to the keypad to be added.
5. Press any button on the keypad or open its tamper switch.
6. The message will confirm that a keypad has been added (unless you have entered an invalid
serial number, of which you will be informed by a message). The name assigned to the keypad
will be displayed. You can change it.
7. Click “OK” (to cancel adding the keypad, click on the “Quit” button). The “
New wireless dev.”
window will close. The new keypad will appear in the table, “LCD-WRL” tab, as well as on
the list of expanders .
8. Click on the “Write” button to write the new wireless keypad data to the controller (these data will
not be written after clicking on the button in the main menu). The new keypad data will be
automatically written to the control panel.

4.1.1 Description of parameters and options
Presence contr. – if this option is enabled, the keypad presence is being monitored. If there is no
transmission from the keypad for 1 hour, missing keypad will be reported.

6 VERSA-LCDM-WRL SATEL
Wake-up - maximum length of time for which the active mode can be started automatically. If you
enter a value different from 0:
– the active mode will be started automatically when an alarm occurs or an entry delay or an exit
delay begins,
– the CHIME from zones will also be signaled in the inactive mode.
If you enter 0, the active mode will not be started automatically.
If a value different from 0 is preset for the
W AKE - UP parameter, the keypad will be
awaiting for transmissions with information on events. As a result, the energy
consumption will be growing and the battery life will be considerably reduced.
Card reader – if this option is enabled, the card reader is supported.
4.2 Settings stored in the control panel
These settings are configured in exactly the same way, as for the wired keypad:
DLOADX program: “VERSA – Structure” window “Hardware” tab “Expansion modules”
branch [keypad name] (see: Fig. 4),
LCD

The alarm is signaled during the
K EYPAD ’ S ALARM TIME (refer to the control panel programming
manual). In the inactive mode, the alarms are not signaled. The alarms are not signaled, if the
G RADE 2 option is enabled in the control panel.
Quick arming – Partition 1 [Part.1 QuickArm] – if this option is enabled, quick arming (without user
authorization) of the partition 1 is possible. The quick arming is not possible, if the
G RADE 2 option
is enabled in the control panel.

5. Operation
When in active mode, the wireless keypad enables operation and programming of the alarm system.
In order to enter the active mode, press any key on the keypad.
In addition to starting the active mode, pressing a key will also have other consequences, as
appropriate for the given key. The keypad will treat each key pressing exactly in the same
way.
In the active mode, the LCD wireless keypad works much in the same way as the LCD wired keypad.
Additionally, it enables the alarm system to be operated using a proximity card. For the way of using
the keypad, please refer to the control panel user and programming manuals. The manuals are
available in electronic form on the www.satel.eu website.
