An alarm system is not recommended to have more than 2 wireless keyboards installed. No more than
one keypad should be used when changes are made to the system.
It is forbidden to send settings or to type codes from 2 keypads at the same time.
The arming keys are activated after pressing them for 2 seconds.
The panic key on the wireless keyboard is "# ESC" and is activated by pressing it for 5 seconds. This
specific key can be pressed even if the keys are locked. In such a case the panic key unlocks the
whole keypad.
BS-477 MENU
It is the same as of BS-466/A menu, but with some minor differences. Most importantly, when entering
a menu, the current active setting is not illuminated, as in BS-466/A. Instead of that, the first setting is
always selected.
"ARMED SYS INDICATORS" and "IDLE BACKLIGHT MODE" menu options do not affect BS-477 and
are intended for use with BS-466/A only.
Inside "WIRELESS NETWORK" menu an extra line "SIGNAL STRENGTH" exists in BS-477.
SIGNAL STRENGTH MENU
"TECHNICIAN MENU"
"WIRELESS NETWORK"
"SIGNAL STRENGTH".
The user sees the current signal strength value on the screen. This value is updated every few se-
conds. When refreshed, the display shows "- - - -" a while. Values above 30 means good signal, 20 to
30 average signal, and below 20 means "low signal". Below this value, communication may exist, but
there will be an increased number of lost packets. It is not recommended to install a keypad to a posi-
tion that the indication is less than 20. For a safe conclusion about the signal at one point, the keypad
should take measurements at this point for 10-15 seconds in order to renew display 5-6 times. Thus
the user will be able to draw a conclusion about the mean value of signal strength at this point.

Resetting to factory default passwords
The main board of the panel contains 2 pins with the marking CODE RESET. Through these pins we
can reset the passwords to the factory defaults by following the procedure below:
1. Connect the cable SERVICE of the siren to a (-) on the panel.
2. Isolate the mains power supply and disconnect the battery.
3. Link the pins CODE RESET by placing the jumper at both pins.
4. Connect the mains power supply and the battery.
5. Remove the jumper when the display of the keyboard lights.
After this procedure the main master code is 1234 and the technician code is 9999 and all the user
codes are empty.

Programming via computer
The programming of the panel can be done easily by using the special computer software PC-468 that
is provided free by Olympia Electronics. A simple USB to mini-USB cable (BS-466/A keyboard) or a
USB to Type-B cable (connection to the panel's board) and a CD with the latest version of the program
is required. It is not recommended to connect the panel or keypad to the computer via a USB hub.
