1. INSTALLATION
The Premier RKP4, RKP8 and RKP16 Remote Keypads are suitable for use
with the following Texecom Control Panels: Premier 400, Premier 412,
Premier 800 and Premier 816. Up to 6 keypads may be connected to the
system.
1.1 Mounting
Open the keypad by carefully inserting a small flat-blade screwdriver into
either half of the double slot at the base of the unit. Gently twist the
screwdriver to ease the retaining clips. Do NOT use excessive force. The
front and flap can now be removed.
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.
1.2 Selecting an Address
Each keypad MUST be given a different address using the DIP switch on the
side of the PCB as follows:
Address DIP 1 DIP 2 DIP 3 DIP 4
1 Off or On Off Off Off
2OffOn Off Off
3OffOffOn Off
4 Off Off Off On
5On Off Off On
6Off
On Off On
NEVER set two RKPs to the same address.
Keypads are factory set to address 1 (all switches off).
1.3 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.
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.
Figure 1 - Cable Entry
Cable entry MUST use either the top left-hand hole or the cable channel.
NEVER run cables behind the PCB.

1.4 Programming
When the system is powered up it automatically checks and configures all
connected keypads. It is strongly recommended that the system is
completely powered down (mains and battery) before wiring a keypad.
