The B915/B915I Basic Keypad is a SDI2 bus
compatible device. Each keypad has user adjustable
options, such as volume and display brightness. The
keypad shows two-line system messages for all areas.
System overview
• For commercial use, install the keypad in building
entrances and areas with unrestricted access.
Mounting a keypad near exterior doors in hotel or
business lobbies allows people to identify the type
and location of the emergency.
• For residential use, install the keypad near the front
and rear entrances to the home. Install additional
keypads in a kitchen or in a bedroom.
• Use multiple keypads in a large building with many
separate areas of security. Program multiple keypads
to control multiple areas.
• Audible tones from the keypad sounder alert
personnel to fire events and assist fire fighters in
locating the keypad.
Functions
LCD display
The keypad uses words, numbers, and symbols to
show the status of the security system. When several
events occur, the keypad shows each event in order of
priority.
Keys
Each keypad has 10 number keys and 5 navigation and
function keys. When pressed, keys turn on keypad
backlighting and emit the keypress tone (a short
beep).
Audible tones
The keypad has a built-in sounder that produces
several distinct audible warning tones. Each audible
tone sounds different, so users can recognize an event
by hearing its unique tone. The keypad backlight
illuminates when the keypad emits an audible tone. To
silence the tone, users enter a passcode.
Status indicators
The Status indicators on keypads provide a quick
visual reference to see how your system is operating.
