Attaching the Touchpad to the Mounting 
Plate

1.

Align the four slots on the touchpad with the four 
tabs on the mounting plate.

2.

Slide the keypad down until you hear the latch on 
the mounting plate click into place.

Power Up and Bus Communication

After making all wiring connections from the 
touchpad to the panel and setting the device address, 
you are ready to power up the panel. The panel 
automatically learns the address of each bus device 
when you apply power. However, only alphanumeric 
touchpads can be used to enter installer programming 
mode. LED touchpads have only user programming 
capabilities.

If you plan on installing systems with no 
alphanumeric touchpads, it is recommended that you 
keep an alphanumeric touchpad with you, specifically 
for programming.

To power up the panel and verify bus communica-
tion:

1.

Verify that all wiring between the panel and 
touchpad is correct.

2.

Connect the panel battery and plug in the panel 
transformer. Alphanumeric touchpads should 
show a date and time display.

3.

At an alphanumeric touchpad, enter program 
mode by pressing 8 + installer CODE (default = 
4321) + 0 + 0
. The touchpad should display SYS-
TEM PROGRAMMING
.

4.

Press # and the display shows SECURITY.

5.

Press A or B until the display shows ACCES-
SORY MODULES
, then press #. The display 
should read BUS DEVICES.

6.

Press #. The display shows the lowest address and 
its device name. For example, an alphanumeric 
touchpad address display looks like this:

UNIT - TYPE

01 - ATP

7.

Press A or B to cycle through all bus devices until 
the LED touchpad (identified as LTP) appears. 
For example:

UNIT - TYPE

03 - LTP

8.

After verifying the touchpad address, press * 
repeatedly until the display shows SYSTEM PRO-
GRAMMING
.

9.

Press A or B until the display shows EXIT PRO-
GRAMMING
.

10. Press # to exit program mode. The display shows 

the date and time display.

Changing the Touchpad’s Device 
Address

Use the following guidelines when changing unit 
number assignments to avoid communication 
conflicts between bus devices and the panel:

O

All bus devices with DIP switches (LED 
Touchpad, ESM, HIM, etc.) must be set to the 
desired address before applying power and 
entering the program mode.

O

Whenever possible, assign touchpad addresses 
before all other panel programming.

To change the touchpad’s device address:

1.

Remove AC and backup battery power from the 
panel.

2.

Change the DIP switch setting on the back of the 
LED touchpad (see Figure 5). Remember, the set-
ting must be different from all other bus devices.

3.

Apply AC and backup battery power to the panel. 
The panel automatically scans all bus devices and 
learns any new settings.

4.

The system may still indicate a bus failure if the 
panel learned an address that is no longer 
assigned to any bus device. To clear the failure, 
enter program mode, locate the address (under 
BUS DEVICES) and delete it by pressing D.

5.

Exit from program mode. The touchpad and all 
other bus devices should operate correctly and 
any bus failures should be cleared.
