NetworX Version 3 Installation Manual

There is a slight difference in keypad reaction speed between the wired and wireless keypad, because

the wireless keypad needs more time to communicate with the control panel. Please allow appropriate

time to send data between the panel and the wireless keypad, especially during programming, when

large amount of information is exchanged.

Wireless keypad learning-in procedure

Prior to installing a new wireless keypad into the system, the keypad should first be “learned-in” by
the panel in order to guarantee mutual recognition. With the first keypad successfully installed, the
installer can use this keypad to help learning-in additional ones. The installer can also delete any or
all of the keypads from the system.

For adding the first wireless keypad to the panel, the keypad learn-in procedure should be executed as
shown below. For instructions about installing additional wireless keypads, see

Learning-in

additional wireless keypads

section.

Power up the panel. It starts the learning mode automatically. The panel stays in this
mode for 2 minutes allowing you to program the first wireless keypad. If the keypad does
not communicate with the panel in this time window, the learning mode is exited. The
learning mode can be restarted by switching panel power off and on again.

Insert the batteries in the wireless keypad. It starts the keypad initialization process.

Note:

If the keypad is not brand new (i.e. it was already used with another system), it must be re-

programmed (flashed) first to erase any previous keypad settings, otherwise it will not initialize the learning
mode (see

At the

SysID-KID1-KID2

prompt, 3 values need to be entered:

•

SysID

: this value represents the System ID or a 3 digit code which should be unique

for this panel.

•

KID1

: this value represents Keypad ID 1 and contains the first 3 digits of the code

which should be unique for this wireless keypad.

•

KID2

: this value represents Keypad ID 2 and contains the last 3 digits of the code

which should be unique for this wireless keypad. Each of these three values must
range from 001 to 255. If any typed value is incorrect, the keypad displays the blank

SysID-KID1-KID2

prompt again. The combination of unique panel and wireless

keypad identifiers is required in order a wireless keypad is to communicate with the
appropriate panel only. In case multiple wireless keypads are used on the same panel,
each wireless keypad should have different KID1 and KID2 values.

At the

EncKey

prompt, enter a 24-digit encryption key and press

. This encryption key

is to secure the wireless communication link between the panel and wireless keypad(s)
and is unique for each panel. Any 24-digit value can be entered. The same encryption key
must be entered in case other wireless keypads are enrolled.
