1.0 Installation
The Premier RKP4/8/16 &8/16 Plus remote keypads are suitable for use with the following Texecom control panels: Premier 412 and Premier 816 with Version 2.1
or higher panel software. Up to 6 keypads may be connected to the system
1.1 Mounting RKP8/16 Plus
Open the keypad by carefully inserting a small flat-blade screwdriver into each slot at the base of the unit. Gently push the screwdriver to ease the retaining clips
upward, DO NOT LEVER OR TWIST. Excessive force is NOT required. The front flap and front cover can now be removed.
1.2 Mounting RKP4/8/16
Open the keypad by carefully inserting a small flat-blade screwdriver into both screw covers.
The PCB assembly is hinged for easy access. Alternatively the PCB assembly can be unclipped and completely removed if required.
Mount the keypad using at least two appropriate countersunk screws (no larger than No. 6). A keyhole slot has been provided to assist mounting and aid levelling.

1.3 Selecting an Address
Each keypad MUST be given a different address using the DIP switch on the left hand side of the PCB as follows:
N NEVER set two RKPs to the same address. Keypads are factory set to Address 1 (all switches off).
1.4 Cable Entry RKP4/8/16

INS181-4 6/9
Cable entry MUST use either the top left-hand hole or the cable channel.
NEVER run cables behind the PCB.

1.5 Wiring
It is strongly recommended that the system is completely powered down (mains and battery) before wiring a keypad. Connect the keypad to the control panel using
4-core cable as follows:
Up to six keypads may be connected in parallel (‘star’) or series (‘daisy‑chain’) or any combination.
N When using long cable runs or connecting keypads in series (‘daisy‑chain’) ensure that the voltage at the keypad is no less than 10.0V. When using 6-core or 8-core
cable always use the spare cores to ‘double-up’ on 0V. This will allow longer cable runs particularly when connecting keypads in series (‘daisy‑chain’). As a rule ‘trebling‑up’ on 0V
will be more beneficial than ‘doubling-up’ on 12V and 0V.
Keypad Zones
The Premier RKP8/16 Plus has two fully programmable zone inputs (Z1 COM Z2). For information on wiring configuration options please refer to the Premier
412/816 Installation Manual.
In order to use the keypad zones, you must first enable the zones using Menu 43 Option 1 (refer to the Premier 412/816 Installation Manual). When a keypad has its
zones enabled they are mapped onto the system as shown:
1.6 Programming/Confirm Devices
When the system is powered up you will need to confirm the devices connected to the data bus.
To Confirm Devices on all types of RKP’s panel firmware version 14.06 onwards please use the following procedures. The method for each keypad is detailed.
N For previous versions (14.04 and below) you can only confirm devices with an LCD RKP.

N Any premier International panels containing a software version prior to V14.02 that is flashed with version V14.02 or later, The Confirm Devices strings
are not loaded in the panel’s memory so any reference to them results in black squares being shown.
Reload English Text Strings
This can be achieved by entering the Installers code and then pressing the keypad’s “Menu” key this provides a short cut to the language
setting menu. Once the selected language is transferred from flash to memory the Confirm Devices strings will be displayed.
N Updated versions of the panel firmware can be found on our FTP server, or by contacting Technical Support.
