WARNINGS & NOTICES

Ness Corporation manufacturing processes are accredited to ISO9001 quality standards and all possible care and
diligence has been applied during manufacture to ensure the reliable operation of this product. However there are
various external factors that may impede or restrict the operation of this product in accordance with the product’s
specification.

These factors include, but are not limited to:

1. Erratic or reduced radio range (if radio accessories are installed). Ness radio products are sophisticated low
power devices, however the presence of in-band radio signals, high power transmissions or interference caused
by electrical appliances such as Mains Inverters, Wireless Routers, Cordless Phones, Computers, TVs and other
electronic devices may reduce radio range performance. While such occurrences are unusual, they are possible.
In this case it may be necessary to either increase the physical separation between the Ness receiver and other
devices or if possible change the radio frequency or channel of the other devices.

2. Unauthorised tampering, physical damage, electrical interruptions such as mains failure, electrical spikes or
lightning.

3. Solar power inverters are a known source of electrical interference. Please ensure that this product and all
associated cabling is installed at least 3 metres away from a solar power inverter and its cabling.

WARNING: Installation and maintenance to be performed only by qualified service personnel.
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries in accordance

with local regulations.
ADSL NOTICE: ADSL broadband data can interfere with the operation of your alarm dialler. It is recommended that

a quality ADSL filter be installed as per the filter manufacturer's guidelines in premises with an alarm dialler installed.

The Ness Radio Keypad (RKP) is a wireless,
battery operated keypad designed for use with
any Ness control panel which is compatible
with the 100-200 Radio Interface.*

The RKP can also be used with other Ness
receivers such as the 100-666 Ness MCR
and the 100-187 Ness 1 Channel Standalone
Receiver.*

The Radio Keypad provides remote control of
Arming, Disarming, Monitor (Home) modes and
Panic facility.

Up to 15 User Codes can be programmed in
the RKP. The ID for each code can be mapped
to a compatible Ness control panel to report
Arming/Disarming by User ID.

When used with a compatible Ness control
panel and Radio Interface, the RKP can be used
alongside Radio Keys and hardwired keypads.

Ness Radio Keypads can be:

Fixed - used in place of hardwired keypads in
cases where it is not practical to run cables

Portable - carried from room to room, kept in a
vehicle, bedside table.

* Receivers are sold separately.

PROGRAMMING OPTIONS

The RKP program options on page 12 in the
Ness Radio Keypad.

These options are not to be confused with
similar program options stored in Ness control
panels.

USER PROGRAM MODE

User Program Mode allows the owner to
program User Codes 1–15.

TO ENTER USER PROGRAM MODE:

P [Master Code] E

‘Valid’ light will turn on.

INSTALLER PROGRAM MODE

Installer Program Mode allows the installer to
program all options.

TO ENTER INSTALLER PROGRAM MODE:

From User Program Mode...

P [Installer Code] E

‘Valid’ light will be flashing.

TO EXIT PROGRAM MODE

From any Program Mode...

P E

‘Valid’ light will turn off.

PROGRAM LIGHTS

In Program Mode, the Valid and Low Battery
lights provide visual indication as follows.

Program options P09E, P10E and P62E.

LOW BATTERY light

ON = The option is ON
OFF = The option is OFF

VALID light

ON = User program mode
FLASHING = Installer Program mode
OFF = Normal operating mode

ProgrammIng the rkP

NOTE: The RKP will automatically drop
out of User or Installer Program Mode to
Operating Mode 3 minutes after the last
key press.

POWER UP DEFAULT:

To default the RKP on power up, insert
the battery while pressing the ARM and E
buttons together.

This resets all options to factory default
values. The RKP will then be in normal
operating mode.

PROGRAMMING THE RKP TO THE PANEL

METHOD 1. WITHOUT USER ID
(Individual RKP user IDs are not
sent)

P09E 0E is off (factory default).

To program the RKP to the control panel, first
put the panel in Radio Key ‘learn’ mode (any
user code), then connect the RKP battery. The
RKP sends its Learn Message and the Valid
light will flash once.

Example

Programming the RKP to a D8x or D16x panel.

1

CONTROL PANEL (Installer Program mode)

1. Press P256E EXCLUDE E 5E EXCLUDE E

This enables the panel’s user code 56 as a
Radio Code. (You can use any user code
from 2 to 56).

2. Press 1E to prepare user code 56 to accept
a Radio Code.

RKP

3. Insert the RKP battery

or in installer program mode, press P09E 1E.
(Sends the learn message for User Code 1).

The RKP and the control panel are now ready
for use. The RKP will arm and disarm the panel
via the Radio Code programmed.

The panel can now be operated by RKP, its
hardwired keypad and/or additional RKPs or
Radio Keys.

In this example, if the panel is monitored via
dialler by a central station, when the panel is
armed/disarmed by the RKP, (using any RKP
user code), it will report arm/disarm (any RKP
user code) via the panel user ID of 56.

1

The control panel must have the Ness Radio Interface

installed. Part Number 100-200.

METHOD 2. WITH USER ID (RKP
User IDs are mapped to panel
codes)

P09E 0E is on.

If you need to send open/close reports with
individual User IDs to the central station, each
RKP User ID needs to be ‘learned’ into the
control panel.

Example

Programming the RKP to a D8x or D16x panel.

1

Mapping 14 RKP User IDs to the panel.

CONTROL PANEL (Installer Program mode)

1. Press P242E EXCLUDE E 5E EXCLUDE E

This enables the panel’s user code 42 as a
Radio Code.

2. Press 1E to prepare the user code to accept
a Radio Code.

RKP (Installer Program mode)

3. Press P09E 1E to send the Learn Message

for RKP User ID 1.

Repeat steps 2 & 3 for the remaining user
codes (P242E to P256E). This process is the
same as programming 14 Radio Keys to a D8x
or D16x control panel.

WHAT IS A ‘LEARN MESSAGE’?

A Learn Message includes the full 56 bit
message string which identifies a User ID. The
Learn Message is required to be sent when you
program (or ‘learn’) the RKP to the control panel,
(or Ness standalone receiver).

HOW TO SEND A ‘LEARN MESSAGE’

From power-up:

Insert the RKP battery and the Learn Message
for RKP User ID 1 is automatically sent.

Installer Program Mode:
The Learn Message for each RKP User ID 1–15
can be sent individually by pressing P09E 1E,
2E, 3E etc.

Send User IDs (P09E 0E) must be enabled).

The RKP Low Battery light flashes 3 times each
time a learn Message is sent.

9

P09E SEND USER IDS

This option enables the transmission of
individual User IDs to the control panel.

To program, press P09E 0E then press 0E to
toggle the option on and off.

P09E 0E = OFF: User IDs disabled, (Low
Battery light is OFF, factory default).

All the RKP user codes are transmitted to the
control panel as User ID 1.

This is the best option if you do not intend
to send open/close reports with User ID to
the central station. This is also the easiest to
program because only the ID for RKP user code
1 needs to be ‘learned’ by the control panel.

The RKP user code 1 can be programmed to
any panel code except the master code.

P09E 0E = ON: User IDs enabled, (Low Battery
light is ON).

Each RKP user code is individually transmitted
to the control panel, (as User IDs 1–15).
This is used for sending open/close reports with
User ID to the central station.
The User IDs must be ‘learned’ into the control
panel one at a time.

Program oPtIons

P10E ENABLE RADIO ENCRYPTION

P10E 0000E: Auto Site Code, (Low Battery light

is ON, factory default).

The Site Code is the encrypted security code
that the RKP transmits to the panel along with
the button press data.

By entering P10E 0000E, the Site Code is
automatically generated when the learn
message is sent to the panel.

P10E [4 digit code Site Code] E: Manual Site
Code, (Low Battery light is OFF).

This option can be used to manually set the
transmitted code. This is only necessary if
multiple RKPs are programmed to the same
panel code.

P11E–P25E USER CODES 1–15

The RKP can be programmed with 15 user
codes of 3–6 digits in length.

User Codes cannot start with the digit 0.

To program a user code:
P [Option No] E [New code] E [New code] E

When programming:
Low Battery light OFF = The code is blank
Low Battery light ON = A code is programmed

To clear a user code:
P [Option No] E 0E 0E

USER CODES / USER IDs DEFINED.

User codes are stored in the RKP and

are not transmitted to the panel.

The panel receives an encrypted
message representing the User ID of the
code being used.

The RKP’s user codes are independent
to the control panel’s user codes.
