SETTING THE KEYPAD ADDRESS
The keypad can be set either for an address of 00-30, or to the
non-addressable mode (31). The keypad's default address is 31.
Refer to the Installation and Setup Guide of the
control panel being used for correct address
settings and other details.
To change the keypad's address, do the following:
1. Power up the keypad. Within 60 seconds of power-up, press
and hold down the [1] and [3] keys at the same time for 3
seconds. (If unable to enter address mode, power up and try
again.)
The current keypad address is displayed, and the cursor is
under the "tens" digit. If 10 seconds have passed with no
key entry, the keypad automatically exits address mode.
You must power down, power up and start address mode
again.

current "tens" digit. The cursor moves to the "ones" digit
position. Press [0] to clear the current "ones" digit. The
