Mounting

Mount the keypad where it is accessible to designated points of entry
and exit. Once you have selected a dry and secure location, perform
the following steps to mount the keypad.

Disassemble Keypad

1. I nsert a flat head screwdriver into the provided slot (first of two).

2. Move screw driver toward the back plastic and lift as in the following
diagram. This will unhook one side of the front plastic.

3. Repeat step # 1 and 2 on the second provided slot to disconnect
the front plastic and allow access for wiring.

to engage

1. Secure Keypad to wall using mounting holes. Use all 4 screws provided
unless mounting on a single gang box.

2. Place keypad into hooks on the backplate and swi ng down to engage.

3. Run wire through wiring slot or knockouts. Connect Keybus and PGM/Zone
wiring to keypad. Place tamper switch into tamper hole on backplate.

4. Remove keypad from hooks. Place keypad into back plate, ensure the wire
is pushed back into the wall as much as possible. Route the wire inside
the keypad ensuring high components are avoided. Snap the front assem­bly closed, ensuring there is no pressure to the keypad from the wire
below.

NOTE: If any tension found between the front keypad assembly
and wiring, please open the keypad reroute the wire and close
again. Repeat these steps until the keypad is closed properly.

Wiring

1. Before wiring the unit, ensure that all power (AC transformer and battery)
is disconnected from the control panel.

2. Connect the four Keybus wires from
the control panel (red, black, yellow
and green) to the keypad terminals.
Refer to diagram.

3. If programmed as an input, you can
connect a device - such as a door
contact - to the ‘P/Z’ terminal of the
keypad. This eliminates the need to
run wires back to the control panel for
the device. To connect the zone, run one wire from the device to the ‘P/Z’
terminal and the other wire from the device to the B (black) terminal. For
powered devices, run the red wire to the R (positive) terminal and the
black wire to the B (negative) terminal. When using end of line supervi­sion, connect the zone according to one of the configurations outlined in
your system’s Installation Manual.

4. If the ‘P/Z’ terminal is programmed as an output, the output follows the
PGM programmed in Section [080]. A small relay, buzzer or other DC
operated device may be connected between the positive supply voltage
and the ‘P/Z’ terminal (maximum load is 50mA).

Applying Power

Once all wiring is complete, and the equipment is secured to the building
structure with at least two screws apply power to the control panel:

1. Connect the battery leads to the battery.

2. Connect the AC transformer.

For more information on control panel power specifications, see the control
panel Installation Manual.

Programming the Keypad

Toggle Option

1 _ _ 4 _ _ _ _

There are several programming
options available for the keypad.
These are described below. Pro­gramming the keypad is similar
to programming the rest of the system. When you are in the keypad pro­gramming sections, the keypad will display which options are turned on
along the top of the display. To turn an option on or off, press the number
corresponding to the option on the number pad. The numbers of the options
that are currently turned ON will be displayed. For example, if options 1
and 4 are on, the display will look like diagram shown on the different key­pad displays.
For information on programming the rest of your security system, please
refer to your system’s Installation Manual.

Broadcasting LCD Labels

All LCD programming is done per keypad. If more than one LCD keypad is
present on the system, labels programmed at one keypad can be broadcast
to all other LCD keypads. Perform the following procedure in order to broad­cast labels:
Step 1 - Program one LCD keypad completely.
Step 2 - Make sure all LCD keypads are connected to the Keybus.
Step 3 - Enter keypad programming by pressing [,][8][Installer
Code][,], then enter section [998] at the keypad that was programmed.
The keypad will now broadcast all the information programmed to all the
other LCD keypads on the system.
Step 4 - When the keypad is finished press the [#] key to exit.

NOTE: LCD Label broadcast from this keypad is only compatible
with other PK5500 keypads.

Language Programming

Hold (<>) keys for 2 seconds to enter language programming, scroll to
the desired language and Press [,] to select.

NOTE: If section [077] option 4 is OFF, language programming
can only be performed while in installers programming.

Enrolling the Keypad

The keypad will need to be assigned to a partition and slot if supervision or
keypad zones are being used. Keypad assignments and keypad option pro­gramming must be done at each keypad individually.
The 1st digit of keypad assignment is used to determine partition assign­ment (1 to 8). If partitioning is not used, enter [1]. For Global Keypads,
enter [0].
The 2nd digit of keypad assignment is used to determine slot assignment
for keypad supervision. Each keypad will be assigned a different slot num­ber from 1 to 8. PK5500 LCD keypads come defaulted in slot 8. If LCD key­pads are used one LCD keypad must remain in slot 8.

Enter the following at each keypad installed on the system:

1. Enter Installer Programming by pressing [,][8][Installer’s Code]

2. Pres s [000] fo r Keypad Pr ogrammin g

3. Press [0] for Partition and Slot Assignment

5. Enter the 2nd digit (1 to 8 for slot assignment supervision)

6. Press the [#] key twice to exit programming.

7. After assigning all keypads, perform a supervisory reset by entering
[,][8][Installer’s Code][902] and wait for 60 seconds.

8. Press the [#] key to exit programming after 60 seconds.
