1 | Overview
The B915 and B915I keypads are SDI2 bus devices. The keypads connect to the bus using terminal wiring. You can connect more than one keypad to the control panel by wiring them in parallel.
You can program, diagnose, and troubleshoot the system from the control panel keypad as well as remotely through Remote Programming Software (RPS).
The B915 function keys are labeled in English. The B915I function keys are labeled with icons.
The keypad display shows two-line system messages. Users can adjust the keypad display brightness level, and they can turn the keypad’s nightlight feature on or off.
Users can adjust keypad volume, and they can turn the key tone (short tone emitted when a key is pressed) on or off.

3 ― Address switches
2 | SDI2 address switches
Address switches determine the address for the keypad. The control panel uses the address for communications. Use a
ballpoint pen to set the switches.
2.1 | Access the address switches
Removing the mounting plate from the back of the keypad:
1.Insert a slotted screwdriver under the retention clip to release it. Do not pry upwards. Refer to Figure 2.1.
2.With your other hand, slide the mounting plate towards the bottom of the keypad to unhook the mounting plate from the keypad. Refer to Figure 2.1.
3.Remove the mounting plate.

2.2 | Set the keypad address
The keypads have 6 DIP switches that support SDI2 addresses 00 to 32. Use the switches to set the keypad address per the control panel configuration.
If multiple SDI2 keypads reside on the same system, each SDI2 keypad must have a unique address. Figure 2.2 shows the address switch setting for address 01. Refer to Table 2.1 for keypad address settings for address 00 to 32.

3 | Installation
After you set the address switches for the proper address, follow the steps below to install the keypad.
CAUTION!
Remove all power (AC and battery) before making any connections. Failure to do so might result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
3.1 | Mount the mounting plate
Mounting the mounting plate on the wall:
1.Use the mounting plate as a template to mark the wall for mounting screw locations, a wire opening, and a level line.
2.Use the supplied mounting hardware to mount the mounting plate to the wall.
3.Pull the wiring through the wire opening.
Figure 3.1: Mounting the mounting plate
3.2 | Install the tamper screw
To provide tamper protection from prying the keypad from the wall, optionally install a screw into the tamper location.
Refer to Figure 3.1.
3.3 | Wire the keypad
Prior to mounting the keypad on the mounting plate, connect the wiring to the keypad terminals labeled R, Y, G, B. Refer to
Figure 3.2.
3.4 | Wire to the control panel
When you wire the keypad to a control panel, use the control panel terminals labeled R, Y, G, B (PWR, A, B, COM). Refer to
Figure 3.2.

Figure 3.3: Installing multiple keypads using the SDI2 terminals
3.5 | Mount the keypad
After wiring the keypad, mount it onto the mounting plate by seating the mounting hook openings over the mounting hooks and then sliding the keypad down.
Apply power to the system and test for proper operation.
Table 2.1: Address switch settings
4 | Status indicators
You can diagnose and troubleshoot the system using the keypad’s status indicators. Refer to Table 4.1.
Status Function indicator
Green - Ready to turn Part On
Red - Part On (part armed)
Green - Ready to turn All On
Red - All On (all armed)
Yellow - System trouble
Blue - AC power present
Table 4.1: Keypad status indicators
5 | Audible tones
The keypad has a built-in sounder that produces several distinct warning tones. The keypad backlight illuminates when it emits an audible tone.
Tone |
Description |
Fire signal |
When an area is in fire alarm, the keypad |
|
emits a pulsed, high-pitched bell tone. |
|
|
Gas signal |
When a gas point activates, the keypad |
|
emits a unique high pitched tone. |
User alarm |
When a user alarm (such as panic and |
|
medical alarms) occurs, the tone sounds |
|
for the programmed amount of time. |
Burglary signal |
When an area is in alarm, the keypad |
|
emits a steady, high pitched bell tone. |
Entrance |
The keypad emits an intermittent beep |
warning |
tone during entry delay periods to remind |
|
the user to disarm the area. |
Exit warning |
The keypad emits an intermittent beep |
|
tone during exit delay. |
Invalid button |
When an invalid button, or sequence of |
buzz |
buttons, is pressed, the keypad emits a |
|
flat buzz tone. |
Keypad |
The keypad emits a muted beep tone as |
encoding tone |
each button is pressed to indicate that |
|
the entry was accepted. |
Trouble buzzer |
When a trouble event occurs, such as a |
|
service alert, the keypad emits a two-tone |
|
warble until you enter a programmed |
|
passcode with the appropriate authority. |
Watch tone |
A single clean tweedle tone alerts the |
|
user anytime a watch point is faulted. |
Table 5.1: Keypad audible tones
6 | Supervision
The control panel supervises all keypads on the SDI2 bus. If a supervised keypad fails to respond to the control panel, the control panel declares a Missing Keypad Trouble. When
the control panel can again communicate with the keypad, it restores the Missing Keypad Trouble.
During a Missing Keypad Trouble, any connected keypad that maintained contact with the control panel shows the Missing Keypad Trouble as its idle text, and shows the missing keypad’s address. The communicating keypads also sound a trouble tone. Users can silence the trouble tone. If no other troubles exist, the tone silences when the missing keypad restores.
7 | Show the firmware version
To show the keypad firmware version, remove and then restore power. The keypad shows the model number, keypad address, and firmware version for 10 seconds.
You can momentarily remove power at the keypad (or at the control panel by disconnecting and then reconnecting the wire from the “R” terminal.
NOTICE!
You can also view a keypad’s firmware version in RPS.
8 | Keypad cleaning
Use a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaning solution to clean your keypad (for example, microfiber cloth and eyeglass cleaner). Spray the cleaner onto the cloth. Do not spray cleaners directly onto the keypad.
