Power
Remote keypad uses two 1.5V “AA” Alkaline batteries as its power source.
Remote keypad can also detect the battery status. If the battery voltage is low, the Orange LED will flash for 5 seconds. The Low battery signal will be sent along with regular signal transmissions to the Control Panel for displaying the status accordingly.
When the battery is exhausted, the Remote keypad will stop all function, all LED will flash every 4 seconds.
Power Saving Feature
When idle, Remote keypad is in Stand-by mode and uses no power. It will activate and wake-up when any key is pressed, keypad sensor detects an NFC tag, or keypad detects a paired smartphone.
Upon completion of a command input, or after 5 seconds of key inactivity, the remote keypad returns to Stand-by mode, the power goes off.

Disarming the System via Smartphone
To disarm the system via a paired smartphone:
The smartphone’s Bluetooth function needs to be turned ON, and the Vesta Home 5 APP must be kept active in the background so that the device can communicate with the App.
A 4-digit or 6-digit Control Panel User Code must have been saved in the Vesta Home 5 APP.
When the system is armed, approach the keypad with the paired smartphone. Once the Keypad detects the paired smartphone within the BLE range, the system will automatically disarm.
Note:
The effective BLE range may differ depending on different mobile devices.
After the system arms, a 30-second buffer is configured for the paired mobile to be out of the Keypad BLE range. The keypad will start detecting only after the system is armed for 30 seconds. If the paired mobile is within the BLE range when the system arms, the system will not Disarm until the 30-second buffer passes.
Supervisory Signal
The Remote Keypad will automatically transmit Supervisory Signals periodically to the Control Panel at random intervals of 30-50 minutes.
Mounting Remote Keypad
To mount the remote keypad:
Remove the front cover.
Using the 4 mounting holes of the back cover as a template, mark off the positions in the most appropriate place.
Insert the wall plugs if fixing into plaster or brick surface.
IV. Screw the Remote keypad onto the wall plugs.
Replace the front cover.
Change of Battery
Before changing battery, make sure the system is in disarm mode to avoid triggering keypad tamper alarm.
Loosen the bottom fixing screw to open the Keypad’s cover.
Take out the old battery and press any key to discharge before replacing the new battery in the battery compartment.
IV. Close the case using the bottom fixing screw.
Put the Control Panel back to normal operation mode.
Fault Conditions
When Remote Keypad is under NORMAL OPERATION MODE
When fault event exists in Control Panel, the arming command from Keypad will be ignored by Control Panel. The Keypad Red and Orange LED will flash for 3 seconds along with 4 beeps to indicate error. You can override the fault event and force arm the Control Panel by performing the arm action again.
If the Control Panel is under Arm Mode, you CANNOT activate Home mode with Remote keypad. The Keypad Red LED flashes + Orange LED flashes for 3 seconds along with 4 beeps to indicate transmission error.
If sent Arm/Home/Disarm signal but have no response from the Control Panel, the Red LED flashes + Orange LED flashes for 3 seconds along with 4 beeps.
When incorrect Keypad PIN code is entered to enter Programming mode, The Keypad will emit 4 beeps. If incorrect Keypad PIN codes are entered for 5 times in a row, all LEDs will flash for 6 times, the keypad will emit 6 long beeps. The keys will be locked for 1 minute. After 1 minute, 1 long beep sounds.
Factory Reset
If you have forgotten the Keypad PIN Code or anything wrong happened in the Remote keypad, you can reset the Remote keypad to factory default and reinitialize it.
Reset to factory default:
