1.0 Installation
The Premier RKP8/16 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 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).

1.3 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.
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:

1.4 Programming/Confirm Devices
When the system is powered up you will need to confirm the devices connected to
the data bus.

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.

day mode operation
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.
