4.2 Enrollment of the First KP-250 PG2 Keypad
The PowerMaster-33 G2 is designed to operate wirelessly with the KP-250 PG2 keypad installed anywhere within the
protected premises.
The first keypad is always enrolled as Keypad no. 1.
Note: The enrollment procedure described here is for the first KP-250 PG2 keypad only. The enrollment of additional
keypads is performed via the first enrolled KP-250 PG2 keypad (for instructions, refer to the KP-250 PG2
Installer’s Guide, section 3.4.2).
Step
Action
1
Press the "ENROLL" button (physically located inside the front unit of the PowerMaster-33 G2 control panel
–see Figure 3.1) for 2 seconds. If no keypad exists in the first location, the "ENROLL" LED on the
PowerMaster-33 G2 blinks slowly for 1 minute (go to step 3).
If a keypad already exists in the first location, the "ENROLL" LED on the PowerMaster-33 G2 control panel
lights steady for 10 seconds (go to step 2).
Note: Pressing the "ENROLL" button takes the system out of any menu mode (Installer Mode, User
Settings and Periodic Test).
2
Press the "ENROLL" button again within the timeout period (10 seconds). Any keypad that was enrolled in
keypad no. 01 is deleted from the system.
The "ENROLL" LED on the PowerMaster-33 G2 blinks slowly for 1 minute.
3
During this 1 minute period, hold the button for 5-7 seconds, until the LED on the keypad lights
red, and release*. The "ENROLL" LED on the PowerMaster-33 G2 will indicate the result of the enrollment
procedure.

Blinks fast for 5 sec. Successful enrollment of keypad
Lights steadily for 5 sec. Wrong device type
4
Upon completion of the enrolling procedure, the keypad is ready for immediate use even if the system is
currently in the Armed state.
Note: If the keypad was previously enrolled, it will be relocated automatically to Keypad no. 1. However, all
of the configured parameters will be lost and the keypad will revert to the default parameters.
*
If the KP-250 PG2 unit is battery-powered: first press any button on the KP-250 PG2 keypad momentarily to take the KP-250 PG2
keypad out of sleep mode and then hold the button for 5-7 seconds, until the LED on the keypad lights red, and release.

4.3 Using the Prox Tag
Proximity tags enable authorized people to enter
restricted areas. Presenting a valid proximity tag to the
tag reader (as shown in the drawing) while the system is
armed causes the system to disarm. Presenting a valid
proximity tag to the tag reader while the system is
disarmed causes the system to be armed in AWAY
(optional HOME) mode. To enroll / delete proximity tags,
refer to the KP-250 PG2 User’s Guide.
Notes:
1. Use of the Proximity tags is optional.
2. Proximity tags are not compatible for use when partition
is enabled.
5. MAINTENANCE
5.1 Dismounting the Control Panel
A. Remove the screw that fastens the front unit to the back unit, see Figure 3.2.
B. Remove the 4 screws that fasten the back unit to the mounting surface - Figure 3.2 - and remove the control panel.
5.2 Replacing the Backup Battery
Replacement and first-time insertion of battery pack is similar, see Figure 3.9c.
With a fresh battery pack, correct insertion and tightened battery compartment lid, the TROUBLE indicator on the kp-
250 PG2 keypad should extinguish. However, the “MEMORY” message will now blink in the display (caused by the
“tamper” alarm you triggered when opening the battery compartment lid). Clear it by arming the system and
immediately disarming.
5.3 Fuse Replacement
The PowerMaster-33 G2 has two internal fuses that has automatic reset. Therefore, there is no need to replace the
fuses.
When over current condition occurs, the fuse cuts off the circuit current. Upon fault current being removed for several
seconds, the fuse is automatically reset and allows current flow through the circuit again.
5.4 Replacing/Relocating Detectors
Whenever maintenance work involves replacement or re-location of detectors, always perform a full diagnostic test
according to the KP-250 PG2 User’s Guide, section 12.9.
Remember! A "poor" signal is not acceptable.
5.5 Annual System Check
Note: The PowerMaster system must be checked by a qualified technician at least once every three (3) years
(preferably every year).
The annual system check is designed to ensure proper operation of the alarm system by performing the following checks:
Periodic test
Arm/disarm function
No trouble messages are displayed on control panel
The clock displays the correct time
Reporting: generating an event to be transmitted to the Monitoring Station and to the user.
