Standard Low Voltage Keypad — MODEL: KS1XXX-XXXX
Overview
The Vantage Keypad Station is one of the primary control
points of a Vantage System. Standard features include 2 color
LEDs, sounders, and a variety of faceplate designs, colors and
finishes. Select a button style from two different designs;
FineTouch or SquareTouch, (see note for EasyTouch II and RP-
Touch*). An optional built in IR receiver is available on most
models. An auxiliary 6-wire connection on the back of each
keypad is provided for easy connection of external devices
(e.g., external IR receivers, dry-contacts, motion detectors,
light sensors, etc.). Keypads and their faceplates can be
ordered in multiple gang configurations including third party
devices utilizing Decora punch and other designs. See InFusion
Design Center software for a complete selection.
*NOTE: Please see install sheets IS-0464 for RP-Touch and IS-
0533 for EasyTouch II, 3-color, low voltage keypads.

Configuration
When the station is first connected to the Station Bus, the
diagnostic LED will blink twice followed by a pause, meaning
that the station is connected correctly but not yet configured.
From Design Center, click on the Configure Stations button on
the toolbar. Highlight the station. The Status LED will blink 5
times followed by a pause and the button LEDs will blink
rapidly indicating that the station is in configuration mode. To
finish configuring press any button on the Station 3 times. The
station may also be configured by typing the serial number in
the project file, using this method the station will automatically
be configured when the system is programmed. Please note, if
the serial number contains an alpha character please ignore
this when typing in serial number. Once configured the Status
LED will be off and the buttons stop blinking.
Auxiliary Connections
All auxiliary connections to the station are wired to a pigtail
available from Vantage. Motion detectors, wood and metal
door contacts, light sensors, etc., are available from Vantage
and work by simply connecting them to the Auxiliary
connector. The aux. connection includes power sufficient for
most connected sensors. The aux. power supply is 15mA @ 12V
DC.
Diagnostic LED Information
If the faceplate is removed the Status LED can be seen in the
middle of the station’s switch matrix. The Status LED blinks
evenly or flashes 2, 3, 4 or 5 times followed by a pause to
indicate status information.
Off: The station is not powered. A Station Bus connection has
not been made or the Main Controller is not powered.
One Even blink: Station is operating correctly and is
configured.
Two blinks: Station is operating correctly but is not
configured.
Three blinks: Station is
not
communicating with the Main
Controller. Verify that station bus wiring is correct and
conforms to Vantage guidelines.
Four blinks: station problem. Please contact the factory.
