DESCRIPTION
The DUAL 824KP digital keypad is designed for use with Linear’s DUAL 824P control panel. The keypad is used to
arm, disarm and interrogate the security system. Audible alarm signals and sirens sound from the built-in sounder.
The keypad sounds a chirp as each key is pressed (the sounder can be disabled with an internal jumper). The
installer can program the control panel directly from the keypad or by using the RA-2400 Remote Access Software.
A swing-down “beauty cover” conceals the keyboard, mode and lower status indicators. On the inside of the cover
there is an area to apply sensor location labels for up to 24 sensors.
The green READY indicator lights when all sensors are closed, showing that the system is ready to arm. The
red ARMED indicator blinks during the exit delay and lights steady when the system is fully armed. The yellow
TROUBLE indicator lights when there is power, sensor battery, or sensor radio supervisory coonditions.
The 24 red sensor status indicators (numbered 1-24) are visible on the unit’s blackout faceplate only when lit. They
light to show an open sensor, they fl ash to show alarm memory. The sensor status indicators also light during
interogation to pinpoint sensor trouble conditions. Five green indicators next to the mode keys show the system’s
current mode. The green POWER indicator normally lights steady and will blink when panel’s backup battery is
low, recharging, or missing. The yellow BATTERIES or RADIO indicators will fl ash for transmitter low battery or
supervisory trouble.
The keypad has two buttons for 24-hour activation. The FIRE and EMERGENCY buttons can be pressed at any
time for immediate activation (press and hold either button for 3 seconds to trigger system).
When a voice response module (Model VB-2 or VB-3) is installed in the control panel, and the Model RSM-2
remote speaker-microphone kit is installed in the keypad, the keypad will sound vocal operating prompts. For audio
listen-in capabilities with the Model VB-2, a location for mounting a microphone is provided in the keypad (shielded
cable required).
Connection to the control panel is made through a 4-wire cable. One or two keypads can be connected to the
control panel. The keypad select jumper inside the keypad can be set to KEYPAD 1 or KEYPAD 2. Wiring can be
“daisy-chained” (panel to keypad 1, keypad 1 to keypad 2) or “home-run” (panel to keypad 1, panel to keypad 2).
