Installation Procedures

Step 1 Put the Control Panel into Learning Mode. Please refer to the Control Panel manual.

Step 2 Keypad Normal Mode

Under Keypad Normal Mode, press and hold ＊ key and # key for 2 seconds to transmit learn code to Control Panel.

Keypad Programming Mode

Alternatively, you can enable Remote keypad to enter Test and Programming Mode first. Enter Keypad PIN Code (Default: 0000) and then press ＊ key. The Red LED will turn on and sound a long beep. Press ＊ key and then 7 key to transmit learn code to Control Panel. Remote keypad will sound a long beep.

Step 3 During the learning process, the Green LED will light on to indicate. Refer to Control Panel manual to complete the learning process.

Note: When learnt into the Panel, the keypad will be recognized as 2 separate devices and will occupy 2 zones in the Panel. Add both devices into the Panel.

Step 4 If learning is successful, the Keypad will emit 3 high-tone beeps upon receiving acknowledgement signal from Control Panel and meanwhile the Green LED will turn off.

If learning fails, the Two-Way Voice Remote Keypad will emit 5 low-tone beeps. Please restart learning procedure from Step 1.

Step 5 After the Two-Way Voice Remote Keypad is learnt-in, put the Control Panel into Walk Test mode. Hold the Two-Way Voice Remote Keypad in the desired location, and press SOS button to confirm this location is within the signal range of the Control Panel.

Step 6 When you are satisfied that the Two-Way Voice Remote Keypad works in the chosen location, you can proceed with mounting the Two-Way Voice Remote Keypad following the steps described below (see Mounting Remote Keypad).

SFV Walk Test

After learning the Remote Keypad into the Control Panel, perform SFV Walk Test to verify effective voice communication between the Keypad and the Panel. 1. Click “Edit” on the 809 entry to open the Device Edit page. 2. Under SFV Setting at the bottom of the page, select “Loopback Start” from the Function dropdown menu. The Remote Keypad will enter the Loopback Mode for 5 minutes, and its Green LED will light up. 3. Speak short testing words (e.g., “one, two, three”) into the Remote Keypad.

a) In range: The testing words will be played back through the Keypad’s speaker after 2 seconds, confirming effective communication with the Panel. b) Out of range: The testing words will not be played back. Move the device closer to the Panel and repeat the testing words. 4. Once effective communication is confirmed, proceed with installation.

Note: The SFV Walk Test should take precedence over the regular RF Walk Test.

Exiting Loopback Mode: Loopback Mode can be exited in three ways: a) Click “Loopback Stop” from the Function dropdown menu. b) Press and hold the 8 & 9 keys on the Keypad for 5 seconds. c) Wait for the 5-minute Loopback Mode to expire automatically

Tag Learning/Clearing Procedures

The Keypad is capable of transmitting NFC (Near Field Communication) signals to the Control Panel, and you can assign a PIN Code and user name to each NFC label on the Panel webpage. The NFC labels can then be used to control alarm system mode through the Keypad. The number of NFC labels and PIN Codes are managed on the Control Panel webpage.

1. Add Label:

When adding a new label, the keypad must be in normal operation mode.

Step 1 Go to the PIN Code page on the Control Panel webpage, input a 4-digit or 6-digit user pin code and user name for the tag, and assign the user pin code to an Area.

Step 2 After Keypad is successfully learnt into the panel, apply a new label to the Keypad Tag sensor zone. The Keypad will emit 4 beeps to indicate this label is new (not added to the system yet).

Step 3 Click the Load button on the PIN Code page as below. The corresponding label number will be loaded. Click Submit to save the user code setting.

Step 4 The label has been added. You can use the label to arm/home arm/disarm the system.

1. Clear label:

Step 1 Go to the PIN Code page on the Control Panel webpage.

Step 2 Manually delete the label number and click Submit.

Step 3 The label is cleared.

Two-way Voice Communication

Two-way voice communication will be established when the Remote Keypad:

• Triggers an emergency alarm

• Makes a non-emergency call

• Receives an incoming call

Alarm Activation

• Press the SOS Button to transmit an Emergency alarm signal to the Control Panel. The Panel will activate an alarm, dial the programmed alarm call recipient and establish two-way communication between the Keypad and the call recipient.

• The telephone number to be called when the Remote Keypad is activated can be programmed via the Control Panel’s local webpage (route: System Setting > Voice Report > Telephone)

Service Report (Non-Emergency Call)

A) Dual-Key Button Press

Press dual keys 7 and 8 simultaneously to transmit a service report signal to the Control Panel. The Control Panel will dial to programmed service call recipient (different from alarm call recipient) and establish two-way communication between the Remote Keypad and call recipient.

The telephone number to be called when the dual keys are pressed can be programmed via the Control Panel’s local webpage (route: System Setting > Voice Report > Service Telephone).

During the service call, pressing and holding both 7 and 8 keys for 5 seconds will end the call. The Two-Way Voice Remote Keypad will emit one beep to indicate.

Note:

• If the Control Panel encounters power failure during two-way communication period, the Remote Keypad will automatically be disconnected and emit one beep to notify the user. The Remote Keypad has a 3-minute communication time and cannot be extended.

• If the Two-Way Voice Remote Keypad fails to establish two-way communication, it will emit 1 low-tone beep.

B) Rule / Scene Activation

Users can program a phone number into the Home Portal Server to initiate a call to programmed number. when a configured rule or scene is triggered, the action of making a call will be performed.

To set the phone number:

1 Navigate to the Remote Keypad’s Action Page via Rule or Scene settings.

• Route: Main Page > Rule > Action or Main Page > Scene > Action

2 Select the following option for each setting and enter the phone number to be called.

• Action Type: Select “Device Action”

• Area: Select the Area number of the Remote Keypad

• Device: Select the Zone number and the device (Keypad)

• Action: Select “Make a Call” (this option will only appear when “Keypad” is selected under “Device”)

• Phone Number: Enter the phone number (only the first 20 digits will be shown)

3 Click “v” to confirm and save the settings.

Incoming Calls

Users can program authorized callers via the Panel’s webpage. To do this, go to the “GSM” tab and access “Two-Way Setting” function, and enter the numerals from the authorized phone number. The Panel will only answer incoming calls that contain the programmed numerals.

To answer incoming calls:

1. Program the caller’s phone number (up to 60 digits, including spaces and commas) in the “Two-way Setting” section of the Panel’s webpage. For example, users can enter “123456,654321” in the Caller column, indicating that two sets of phone numbers are programmed. The Panel will answer calls containing these numerals, such as 0987123456, because it includes “123456”.

2. If the phone number of an incoming call contains the programmed numerals, the Panel will pick up the call and assign the Remote Keypad to handle the two-way communication for 3 minutes (non-extendable).

3. The call will automatically end after 3 minutes or when the caller terminates it.

Note: A Repeater does not extend the range for two-way communication.

Remote Sound & Volume Setting

• Detailed sound settings can be configured through Device Edit page on the Control Panel’s webpage.

• Users can enable or disable voice prompt for Mode Change events. If the checkboxes for mode change prompt is unchecked, the voice prompt for mode changes will be disabled, and the Remote Keypad will beep for these events instead.

• The alarm volume and the confirmation beep volume for mode changes can be adjusted independently

• Additional customization options include selecting the language for voice prompts and setting volume levels for alarms and other status notifications.
