operated device may be connected between the positive supply voltage
and the ‘P/Z’ terminal (maximum load is 50mA).
NOTE: For UL Residential Fire Installations use at least one additional DSC
compatible keypad in conjunction with an RFK5501/5500-433 keypad or
install the RFK5501/5500-433 keypads within 3 feet from the control unit
and mechanically protect the keybus wires
Applying Power
Once all wiring is complete, and the equipment is secured to the building
structure with at least two screws apply power to the control panel:
1. Connect the battery leads to the battery.
2. Connect the AC transformer.
For more information on control panel power specifications, see the control
panel Installation Manual.
Programming the Keypad
There are several programming
options available for the keypad.
These are described below. Pro-
gramming the keypad is similar
to programming the rest of the
system. When you are in the key-
pad programming sections, the
keypad will display which
options are turned on along the
top of the display. To turn an
option on or off, press the num-
ber corresponding to the option
on the number pad. The numbers of the options that are currently turned
ON will be displayed. For example, if options 1 and 4 are on, the display
will look like diagram shown on the different keypad displays.
For information on programming the rest of your security system, please
refer to your system’s Installation Manual.
Broadcasting LCD Labels
All LCD programming is done per keypad. If more than one LCD keypad is
present on the system, labels programmed at one keypad can be broadcast
to all other LCD keypads. Perform the following procedure in order to broad-
cast labels:
Step 1 - Program one LCD keypad completely.
Step 2 - Make sure all LCD keypads are connected to the Keybus.
Step 3 - Enter keypad programming by pressing [
4
][8][Installer
Code][
4
], then enter section [998] at the keypad that was programmed.
The keypad will now broadcast all the information programmed to all the
other LCD keypads on the system.
Step 4 - When the keypad is finished press the [#] key to exit.
NOTE: LCD Label broadcast from this keypad is only compatible
with other RFK5501/5500 Keypads.
Language Programming
Hold (<>) keys for 2 seconds to enter language programming, scroll to
the desired language and Press [
4
] to select.
NOTE: If section [077] option 4 is OFF, language programming
can only be performed while in installers programming.
Enrolling the Keypad
The keypad will need to be assigned to a partition and slot if supervision or
keypad zones are being used. Keypad assignments and keypad option pro-
gramming must be done at each keypad individually.
The 1st digit of keypad assignment is used to determine partition assign-
ment (1 to 8). If partitioning is not used, enter [1]. For Global Keypads,
enter [0].
NOTE: LED and ICON keypads cannot be programmed as Global Keypads
The 2nd digit of keypad assignment is used to determine slot assignment
for keypad supervision. Each keypad will be assigned a different slot num-
ber from 1 to 8. RFK5501/5500 LCD keypads come defaulted in slot 8. If
LCD keypads are used one LCD keypad must remain in slot 8.
NOTE: The keypad enrolls as two modules:
Light 1 = keypad section
Light 17 = receiver section
NOTE: Deleting all wireless devices from the keypad or defaulting the key-
pad will cause a supervisory fault.
Enter the following at each keypad installed on the system:
1. Enter Installer Programming by pressing [
4
][8][Installer’s Code]
2. Press [000] for Keypad Programming
3. Press [0] for Partition and Slot Assignment
4. Enter the 1st digit (0 to 8 for partition assignment)
5. Enter the 2nd digit (1 to 8 for slot assignment supervision)
6. Press the [#] key twice to exit programming.
7. After assigning all keypads, perform a supervisory reset by entering
[
4
][8][Installer’s Code][902] and wait for 60 seconds.
8. Press the [#] key to exit programming after 60 seconds.
Programming Labels
