follow the steps below to install the keypad.

Mounting the mounting plate on the wall:

1. To mark the wall for mounting screw locations, a wire

opening, and a level line, use the mounting plate as a

template.

2. To mount the mounting plate to the wall, use the

included mounting hardware.

3. Pull the wiring through the wire opening.

After wiring the keypad, mount it onto the mounting plate

by seating the mounting hook openings over the mounting

hooks, and then sliding the keypad down.

Apply power to the system and test for proper operation.

3.5 | Mounting the keypad

CAUTION!

Remove all power (AC and battery) before making

any connections. Failure to do so might result in

personal injury and/or equipment damage.

You can connect keypads to the SDI2 data bus by parallel wire

run from the control panel to each keypad, wire from keypad to

keypad, or a combination of the two techniques.

Refer to Figure 3.3.

2 | SDI2 address switches

Address switches determine the address for the keypad. The

control panel uses the address for communications. To set the

switches, use a ballpoint pen.

ON DIP

The keypads have 6 DIP switches that support SDI2

addresses 00 to 32. To set the keypad addresses (per the

control panel configuration), use the DIP switches.

If multiple SDI2 keypads reside on the same system, each

SDI2 keypad must have a unique address. Figure 2.2 shows

the address switch setting for address 01. Refer to Table 2.1

for keypad address settings for address 00 to 32.

2.2 | Setting the keypad address

Removing the mounting plate from the back of the keypad:

1. To release the retention clip, insert a slotted screwdriver

under it. Do not pry upwards. Refer to Figure 2.1.

2. To unhook the mounting plate from the keypad, use your

other hand and slide the mounting plate toward the

bottom of the keypad. Refer to Figure 2.1.

3. Remove the mounting plate.

Figure 1.1: Keypad base overview

The B915 and B915I keypads are SDI2 bus devices. The

keypads connect to the bus using terminal wiring. You can

connect more than one keypad to the control panel by wiring

them in parallel.

You can program, diagnose, and troubleshoot the system from

the control panel keypad, as well as remotely through Remote

Programming Software (RPS).

The B915 function keys are labeled in English. The B915I

function keys are labeled with icons.

The keypad display shows two-line system messages.

Users can adjust the keypad display brightness level, and they

can turn the keypad’s nightlight feature on or off.

Users can adjust keypad volume, and they can turn the key tone

(short tone emitted when a key is pressed) on or off.

To clean your keypad, use a soft cloth or a non-abrasive cleaning

solution (for example, a microfiber cloth and eyeglass cleaner). Spray

the cleaner onto the cloth. Do not spray cleaners directly onto the

keypad.

To show the keypad firmware version, r

emove and then

restore power. The keypad shows the

model number, keypad

address, and firmware version for 10 seconds.

You can momentarily remove power at the keypad (or at the

control panel) by disconnecting and then reconnecting the

wire from the “R” terminal.

7 | Showing the firmware version

NOTICE!

You can also view a keypad’s firmware version in RPS.

The control panel supervises all keypads on the SDI2 bus.

If a supervised keypad fails to respond to the control panel,

the control panel declares a Missing Keypad Trouble. When

the control panel can again communicate with the keypad, it

restores the Missing Keypad Trouble.

During a Missing Keypad Trouble, any connected keypad that

maintained contact with the control panel shows the Missing

Keypad Trouble as its idle text and shows the missing

keypad’s address. The communicating keypads also sound a

trouble tone. Users can silence the trouble tone. If no other

troubles exist, the tone silences when the missing keypad

restores.

6 | Supervision

5 | Audible tones

The keypad has a built-in sounder that produces several

distinct warning tones. Refer to Table 5.1. The keypad backlight

illuminates when it emits an audible tone.

Tone Description

Fire signal When an area is in fire alarm, the keypad

emits a pulsed, high-pitched bell tone.

Gas signal When a gas point activates, the keypad

emits a unique high-pitched tone.

User alarm When a user alarm (such as panic and

medical alarms) occurs, the tone sounds

for the programmed amount of time.

Burglary signal When an area is in alarm, the keypad

emits a steady, high-pitched bell tone.

Entrance

warning

During delay periods, the keypad emits an

intermittent beep to remind the user to

disarm the area.

Exit warning During exit delay, the keypad emits an

intermittent beep.

Invalid button

buzz

When an invalid button, or sequence of

buttons, is pressed, the keypad emits a

flat buzz tone.

Keypad

encoding tone

When the keypad accepts an entry, it

emits a muted beep tone as each button

is pressed.

Trouble buzzer When a trouble event occurs, such as a

service alert, the keypad emits a two-tone

warble until you enter a programmed

passcode with the appropriate authority.

Watch tone Anytime a watch point is faulted, a single

clean tweedle tone alerts the user.

Table 5.1: Keypad audible tones

You can diagnose and troubleshoot the system using the

keypad’s status indicators. Refer to Table 4.1.
