K32IRF V1.1 / K32RF V2.0 Installation Guide
The K32IRF (32-Zone Wireless Fixed LCD Keypad) and K32RF (32-Zone Wireless LED Keypad) keypads provide the same functionality as
standard hardwired keypads, including system programming.
Unlike conventional wireless keypads which must be manually updated with new event information, the K32IRF displays new events live, as
they happen.
Compatibility
K32IRF MG5000 / MG5050 V3.2 Spectra SP V3.2 (requires MG-RTX3 V1.4)
K32RF MG5000 / MG5050 V1.3 Spectra SP V2.0 (requires MG-RTX3 V1.1)
Step 1: Powering the Keypad
A. Installing the Batteries
K32IRF:
The K32IRF comes with it’s primary power source (two AA batteries) already installed. To power the keypad, with the backplate removed, open
the battery compartment and remove the plastic tab. IMPORTANT: Do not use rechargeable batteries to power the K32IRF.
K32RF:
With the backplate removed, install the 3.7V
standard 3.7V
DC cell phone type battery. The backup battery is for backup purposes only and is not the keypad’s primary power source.
B. Connecting the DC Source (optional for K32IRF)
When connecting the DC source, use the PA6 6VDC Power Adapter Plug only.
Do not use a 16V
