This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions, it may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been tested and
found to comply with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC rules for Class B Computing Devices.
If this equipment causes interference to radio or television reception - which can be determined by turning the
equipment on and off - the installer is encouraged to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures: 1) Reorient the antenna of the radio/television. 2) Connect the AC transformer to a different outlet so
the control panel and radio/television are on different branch circuits. 3) relocate the control panel with respect to
the radio/television.
If necessary, the installer should consult an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions,
or send for the "Interference Handbook" prepared by the Federal Communications Commission. This booklet is
available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington D.C. 20402, stock number 004-000-00450-7.
The D268/269 Independent Zone Control Modules are accessory devices for use with Radionics control/
communicators. You can use the D268/D269 to arm and disarm a single 1k Ω zone of a D4112, D6112, or D8112
or single 1k Ω point of a D7112 or D9112 Control/Communicator panel. The D268/D269 features a user
programmable passcode and can initiate Opening/Closing reports by zone or point when the panel is programmed
for this response. You can install up to four D269 Keypads for each D268 Module with at least one D269 Keypad
being required. Entry and exit delay times provided by the D268 allow the D269 keypads to be located inside the
protected area. The operation of the D268 Module is not affected by tampering to the D269 Keypad.
Operation
D268 Module Loop Inputs
The D268 branches a single 1k Ω zone or point of the panel into two separate loops: one delayed and one instant.
You can wire sensors to the loops in series (normally closed) or in parallel (normally open). Install a Radionics
model D105BL 1k Ω end-of-line resistor, supplied with the module, beyond the last sensor of each loop to
provide supervision (see Figure 4).
Delayed Loop
Faulting the delayed loop while the D268/D269 Independent Zone Control is armed starts the entry delay time on
both loops. Allowing entry time to expire without disarming triggers an alarm even if both loops are restored. Exit
time is provided when arming.
D268, D269
Description
Instant Loop
Faulting the instant loop while the D268/D269 is armed immediately causes an alarm. No entry time is provided
unless the delay loop is faulted first. Exit delay time is provided when arming.
Entry/Exit Delay
Both loops must be normal before you can arm the D268/D269. Entering the correct passcode provides 60
seconds of exit time before the unit arms. After arming, faulting the delay loop starts 30 seconds of entry time in
which the D268/D269 must be disarmed to prevent an alarm. Once entry and exit delay starts both loops are
delayed.
Restorals
The D268 resets automatically when both the delayed and instant loops are normal. However, when one loop is
faulted, the other cannot signal a new alarm to the panel. Restoral of the zone or point output is delayed three
seconds after both loops are restored.
Burglar Alarm Output
Opening or shorting either of the D268 loops while the zone control is armed causes the output to short the panel
zone or point for a minimum of three seconds. Each zone or point is supervised with a Radionics model 105BL
1k Ω end-of-line resistor.
This output presents an open circuit to the panel when the D268/D269 is disarmed, and a normal circuit when
the D268/D269 is armed and not in alarm.
Alarm Output Terminals
Two form C contacts, each rated at 2 Amps, are provided for an optional alarm device, such as a bell. This relay
is activated when the D268/D269 goes into alarm, and is reset when the D268/D269 is disarmed. A D136 Relay
needs to be installed in the D268 for this option.
D269 Keypad
Green LED - Loop Status
The Loop Status LED lights when both the delayed and instant loops are normal. It's switched off when one or
both loops are faulted. This LED is not affected by armed status.
Red LED - Armed Status
The Armed Status LED starts blinking when the correct passcode is entered to indicate exit delay time in
progress. This LED is on while the D268/D269 is armed. This LED is off while the D268/D269 is disarmed.
Warning Sounder
During entry delay, the warning sounder latches on until the D268/D269 is disarmed or an alarm occurs. If a
numbered key is pressed while the unit is disarmed and has a loop faulted, a warning sound indicates that it's
not ready to arm.
Standard Combination
You enter a four-digit passcode into the D269 Keypad to arm and disarm the D268 zones. The D268 is shipped
from the factory with a default passcode of 1234 or 2222. Once the unit is installed and power is connected, you
can change these numbers to a different passcode. This passcode is the same at all D269 Keypads connected
to that D268.
Programming
Programming or Changing the Combination
You need to install a jumper plug on J1 in the “A “ (COMB CHG) position (see Figure 2) to enable the passcode
change feature. To prevent further passcode changes, place the jumper plug in the "B" (NO) position.
You must know the existing (old) passcode before you can change it to a new one. If you do not know the
passcode, see Recovering the Standard passcode in this manual. If you make a mistake while changing the
passcode, wait 5 seconds and repeat the procedure. If the procedure is not completed within 60 seconds, the
keypad reverts to the old passcode.
Only change the passcode when the keypad is disarmed. Do not program the same digit twice in a row. Do not
program the first and last digits the same.
