Overview
The Vantage Keypad Station is one of the primary control
points of a Vantage System. Standard features include 2 color
LEDs, sounders, and a variety of faceplate designs, colors and
finishes. Select a button style from two different designs;
FineTouch or SquareTouch, (see note for EasyTouch II and RP-
Touch*). An optional built in IR receiver is available on most
models. An auxiliary 6-wire connection on the back of each
keypad is provided for easy connection of external devices
(e.g., external IR receivers, dry-contacts, motion detectors,
light sensors, etc.). Keypads and their faceplates can be
ordered in multiple gang configurations including third party
devices utilizing Decora punch and other designs. See InFusion
Design Center software for a complete selection.
*NOTE: Please see install sheets IS-0464 for RP-Touch and IS-
0533 for EasyTouch II, 3-color, low voltage keypads.

System Requirements
This station is compatible with InFusion Design Center
software and QLink Software. For new projects it is
recommended that firmware and software be kept to the most
current release.
Installation
Installation of Vantage products should be performed or
supervised by a Certified Vantage Installer. The Vantage
Keypad Station installation is very simple. Connect using the 2
wire pigtail connection located on the rear of the station.
It can be mounted into a standard 1-5 gang electrical box for
some Metal faceplates or 1-4 gang electrical box for Plastic
faceplates.
Standard Keypad Set Up In Software
InFusion: Starting a new project, first in the Project Explorer
click on Style/Profile View. Right click on Keypad Styles and
select Add Keypad Style. In the Object Editor window fill in all
the information for the keypad style. While still in Style/Profile
View, right click on LED Styles and fill in the appropriate
information in the Object Editor for desired LED settings. Next
select the room, then click on Vantage Objects in the Object
Explorer and expand Stations, WireLink. From the list of
stations double click on Keypad Station to place it in the room.
In the Object Editor name the station, make sure it is on the
correct station bus port and make any other modifications.
Right click on the keypad or buttons in the Object Editor for
additional settings.
Configuration
When the station is first connected to the Station Bus, the
diagnostic LED will blink twice followed by a pause, meaning
that the station is connected correctly but not yet configured.
From Design Center, click on the Configure Stations button on
the toolbar. Highlight the station. The Status LED will blink 5
times followed by a pause and the button LEDs will blink
rapidly indicating that the station is in configuration mode. To
finish configuring press any button on the Station 3 times. The
station may also be configured by typing the serial number in
the project file, using this method the station will automatically
be configured when the system is programmed. Please note, if
the serial number contains an alpha character please ignore
this when typing in serial number. Once configured the Status
LED will be off and the buttons stop blinking.
Auxiliary Connections
All auxiliary connections to the station are wired to a pigtail
available from Vantage. Motion detectors, wood and metal
door contacts, light sensors, etc., are available from Vantage
and work by simply connecting them to the Auxiliary
connector. The aux. connection includes power sufficient for
most connected sensors. The aux. power supply is 15mA @ 12V
DC.
Diagnostic LED Information
If the faceplate is removed the Status LED can be seen in the
middle of the station’s switch matrix. The Status LED blinks
evenly or flashes 2, 3, 4 or 5 times followed by a pause to
indicate status information.
Off: The station is not powered. A Station Bus connection has
not been made or the Main Controller is not powered.
One Even blink: Station is operating correctly and is
configured.
Two blinks: Station is operating correctly but is not
configured.
Three blinks: Station is not communicating with the Main
Controller. Verify that station bus wiring is correct and
conforms to Vantage guidelines.
Four blinks: station problem. Please contact the factory.

Avoid Ground loops with
Auxiliary Connections
Auxiliary connections to the
station are wired to a pigtail,
including motion detectors, door
contacts, light sensors, etc. Each
aux. connection supplies a 15mA
@ 12V DC power source,
eliminating the need for an
external power supply. Aux.
sensors using their own power
should be isolated when
connected to the Black pigtail
wire.
Pigtail for sensors,
dry contacts, etc.
Joining Stations Together
With the EasyGang station design multiple stations easily snap
together to build multi-gang stations.
1. Carefully break off the left, right or both tabs when
ganging stations.
NOTE: only break both tabs off on inside stations, with
three or more gangs.
2. Align the two stations being joined making sure that
UP is the same for
both stations.
3. Carefully align
locking groves to
mesh correctly.
4. Gently press the
two halves together
until they lock. The
joined stations may
then be
straightened to
secure the lock.
