PRELIMINARY
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Brinks Keypad is an InGrid Grid Controller that can operate alone or with other Grid Controllers to create a
security system for monitoring a residential home or small office. The Keypad receives radio signals from other
Grid Controllers and from wireless Sensors. One or more Keypads can be registered in a single InGrid system.
Each Keypad contains a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and a piezo siren that each provide a variety of user feedback.
When operated as a local only system, the Keypad will emit a loud siren if an alarm condition occurs. When
operated in conjunction with an alarm monitoring service, the Keypad may communicate with another Grid
Controller such as a Signal Extender which is then used to provide a communications link to a central monitoring
station. The Keypad is a supervised device that is regular communications with other Grid Controllers.
INSTALLATION
This section describes guidelines for installing, programming, mounting, and testing the Keypad.
¾ Installation Guidelines
• The Keypad will typically communicate at a range of up to 500 feet from other Grid Controllers.
• Do NOT use an outlet that is controlled by a switch.
¾ Mounting
Note: You must be free of static electricity before handling the Keypad. Touch a bare metal surface or wear a
grounding strap to discharge yourself.
1) Select a location on a convenient and accessible wall.
2) Remove back cover using screwdriver. If present, the battery must be first removed. The front of the Keypad
contains static sensitive printed circuit boards. Set the front of the Keypad on the static protected packing
material until needed for the mounting steps below.

3) Mount at height convenient for use, typically 55 to 60 inches above the floor. A wire must be run from the
Keypad to the Power Supply, so choose the location wisely to minimize the difficulty of running the wire. The
Keypad is designed to be mounted on drywall or wood. Mounting on metal studs, or any type of brick, stone, or
concrete block will likely reduce the wireless range of the Keypad.
4) Hold back plate level up to the wall where the Keypad will be mounted and mark area for wires to run through
wall
5) Make hole in wall. Run wires (recommended 18 gauge stranded wire) from the mounting location of Keypad to
the outlet where Power Supply will be mounted.
6) Mount the Keypad back plate to the wall using 2 drywall screws.
7) Attach the wires to the power terminals of the Keypad. If the wire is color coded, note the attachment color used
for the positive terminal of the Keypad. This same color wire should connect to the positive terminal of the
Power Supply. The Keypad has a protection circuit in case the wires are connected with the wrong polarity.
Later, when the Power Supply is mounted, if the Keypad does not receive power from the Power Supply, switch
the polarity of the wire connections on the Power Supply.
8) Snap the front of the Keypad, contained the printed circuit boards onto the back plate, first hooking the top of
the Keypad on the top of the back plate, and then rotating the bottom of the Keypad into position. The rotating
action should be relatively free and require a minimum of force. If any pressure or difficulty is encountered, do
not apply force. Investigate the routing of the wires and the alignment of the plastics and components and then
re-try the rotating action. The Keypad will snap at the bottom to lock its mounting.
Note: You must be free of static electricity before handling the Power Supply. Touch a bare metal surface or wear a
grounding strap to discharge yourself.
1) Select an outlet on which to mount the Power Supply. Choose an outlet that is preferably close to the location
where the Keypad is mounted.
2) Find the circuit breaker or fuse controlling the outlet to which the Power Supply will be mounted and
disconnect power to the outlet by turning the circuit breaker off or removing the fuse.
3) Remove the center screw attaching the outlet cover to the outlet.
4) Attach the wires to the Power Supply terminals, noting the polarity of the wire colors (if any). The Power
Supply generates a polarity sensitive +5 volts DC. If the Keypad does not receive power from the Power Supply,
switch the polarity of the wire connections on the Power Supply.
5) The Power Supply contains a tab that protrudes above the Power Supply. The Power Supply must be mounted
so that the hole in the tab is aligned with the center screw hole of the outlet cover. This may require changing
the vertical orientation of the Power Supply in order to find the direction which permits the hole in the tab to
align with the center screw hole of the outlet cover.
6) Insert the outlet screw through both the tab and the center screw hole of the outlet cover, and tighten as
necessary. The tab and the cover should be snug against the outlet, but not so tight that it causes flexing or stress
on either the tab or the outlet cover.
7) Reconnect power to the outlet by turning the circuit breaker on or replacing the fuse.
¾ Install The Battery
Note: To avoid risk of shock or fire, install only IG180 battery
Install the IG180 rechargeable battery pack into the Keypad and allow to charge for at least 15-20 hours before using
without AC power.
1) Use a coin to gently pry open the battery cover. Lift the battery cover out and to the right to remove.
2) Turn the battery pack so that the connector with the red and black wires is near the jack inside the battery
compartment. Match the connector's polarity to the Keypad polarity in the battery compartment (the connector
notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one way). Push the battery pack connector into the jack until it
clicks into place.
3) Make sure you have a good connection by gently pulling on the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the
battery jack will remain in place.
4) Be careful to route the battery wires in a manner that will not conflict with the battery cover. Place the battery
cover back on the Keypad by inserting the bottom tab into the Keypad back plate and rotating the cover towards
the front of the Keypad until it snaps into place. The battery cover does not require much force to reinstall. If
resistance is encountered, investigate the cause and reroute any wires as necessary to permit closure with
minimal force.

¾ Programming
The Keypad is used only with the alarm monitoring service provided by Brinks Home Security. An InGrid Home
Protection System monitored by Brinks requires special programming that sets many parameters to be compatible
with the Brinks central monitoring station. These parameters may only be loaded by a Brinks installer using an
InGrid Programmer.
OPERATING THE SYSTEM
¾ User Codes
When the system is installed, you select a code number to turn the system on and off. This is your master user code,
and it may be three or four digits long. You can create a separate auxiliary user code for anyone who needs access to
your home. You can change or delete the auxiliary code whenever you like.
¾ Entering and Exiting
Designated Doors
The designated entry/exit doors are those doors that you must use to enter and leave your home while the system is
on. These doors may be equipped with the wireless door Sensors. If you use a different door to enter your home, an
alarm may sound.
Entry Delay
When you enter your home while the security system is on, the Keypad beeps. This beeping reminds you to turn the
system off. You must enter your user code before the beeping stops. In most systems, the entry delay is 40 seconds.
If you do not enter your code before the delay ends, an alarm is triggered.
Exit Delay
When you turn the system on in normal mode, you must exit the building and close the door before the exit delay
ends. For most systems, the exit delay is 80 seconds. That number may vary, however, if local agency or regulator
restrictions apply. Once that delay has ended, you will trigger an alarm if you open a protected door or window, or
move past a motion detector.
¾ Turning the System On
The Four “On” Modes
You can arm the Brink’s Home Security system in four different ways:
1) Normal Mode
2) Motion Off
3) Motions Off With Delay Doors Instant
4) Delay Doors Instant
Turning the System On in Normal Mode
1) Close all of the doors and windows and make sure that the message window displays READY.
2) Press the ON key. The ON light begins to blink, telling you that the system is on and that the exit delay has
begun. The Keypad displays the number of seconds left in the exit delay.
3) Exit promptly. You must leave the building before the delay ends. The standard delay is 80 seconds. If the ON
light stops blinking and is steadily lit, the exit delay has ended. If you open a door now, you will cause an alarm.
Turn the system off by entering your user code, then start over.
Turning the System On with Motions Turned Off Mode
1) Close all of the doors and windows and make sure that the message window displays READY.
2) Press the ON key.
3) Press the MOTION OFF key. (You must press the MOTION OFF key no more than 20 seconds after you press
the ON key.) The ON light blinks. The Keypad displays ON, MOTION OFF.
