1.0 Introduction
Thank you for choosing Paradox Security Systems. Digiplex/
DigiplexNE Security System s are advanced technology security
systems tha t will provide reliable security protection and powe rful
features that are easy to use. The elegant and user-friendly LCD
Keypad will allow easy a ccess to t he security system's functions
and information at the touch of a button. Since all programm ing
is accomplished through the keypad, please read this manual
carefully.

2.0 Installation
The LCD keypad (DG2P-641) is connected to the c ontrol panel's
communication bus in a star and/or daisy chain configuration.
The 4-wire communication bus provides power and two-w ay
communication between the control panel and all modules
connected to it. Connect the four terminals labeled red, black,
green and yellow of each keypad to the corresponding terminals
on the control panel (refer to Figure 2.1 on page 5). Refer to the
Digiple x or DigiplexNE Reference & Installation Manual for the
maximum allowable installation distance from the control panel.
2.1 Connecting Keypad Zones
Each keypad has one traditional hardwired input terminal,
allowing you to connect one detector or door contact directly to
the keypad. For example, a door contact located at the entry
point of an establishment can be wired directly to the input
terminal of the entry point keypad instead of wiring the door
contact all the w ay to the control panel.
Connect the device to the keypad's input terminal as shown in
Figure 2.1 on page 5. In order to communicate its status to the
control panel, devices connected to the keypad's input terminal
must be ass igned to a zone in the control panel and the zone's
parameters must be defined. For more information on zone
assignment, please refer to the Digiplex or DigiplexNE
Reference & Installation Manual. Please note that even w ith the
ATZ (zone doubling) feature enabled, the key pad supports only
one detection device.

2.2 Programm able O utput
Each keypad has one on-board PGM. A PGM is a programmable
output that toggles to its opposite state (i.e. a normally open
PGM will close) when a specific event has occurred in the
system (refe r to section 5.0 on pa ge 17) . Upon act ivation, the
PGM can provide 50mA to any device connected to it. If the
current drawn is to exceed the current limit, a relay should be
connected to the PGM as shown in Figure 2.1.

3.0 Programming
To program the DGP2-641 keypad, enter Module Programming
Mode and then enter the desired section followed by the required
data. When programming the keypad, use the k eypad’s
programming sheets (found in the Digiplex/DigiplexNE Modules’
Programming Guide) to keep track of which sections were
programmed and how. We strongly recommend you read this
entire manual before you begin programming.
The LC D keypad can also be programmed using the WinL oad
Security Sy stem Management Software. For more information,
refer to the WinLoad instructions or visit our Web site at
www.parad ox.ca.
3.1 Entering Module Programming Mode
The ke ypad, like all o the r modu les in the syst em , is p rogra mmed
through the control panel. To do so, you must first enter Module
Programming Mode:
1. F r o m No r m a l Mo de pre ss an d h ol d the [0] key.
2. E nt er th e [INSTALLE R CODE] (by default 000000).
3. Enter se ction [953] (DGP-48) / [4003] (DGP-NE96).
4. E nt er th e ke yp ad ’ s 8 - d igi t [SERIALNUMBER].
5. Enter the 3-digit [SECTION] you want to program.
6. Enter the required [DATA].
The control pan el will then redirec t all pro gramming to t he
selected keypad. Every time the [CL E AR ] key is pressed it will
rev ert to the preceding step, unless entering in data in whic h
6 Refer ence & Installation Manual
case it will erase the current data entry. Please note th at the
se rial nu mb er is lo ca te d o n th e ke yp ad ' s P C bo a rd or en te r
section [000] in Step 3 to view the keypad’s serial number.
3.2 Programming Methods
The following methods can be used when programming the
keyp ad:
3.2.1 F eature Select Programming
Some sections are programmed by enabling or disabling
options. Within the sections, numbers from [1] to [8 ]
represent a spec ific key pad option. Press the key
corresponding to the desired option and the digit will
appear in the display. This means the option is enabled.
Press the key again to remove the digit from the display
thereby disabling the option. Press [ENTER] when options
are set.
3.2.2 Decimal Prog ramming
Some sections require that a decim al value be entered. In
this method, any digit from 000 to 255 can be entered.
3.3 Module Broadcast
The control panel’s Module Broadcast feature can be used to
copy the contents of one keypad to one or more keypads.
1. From Normal Mode press and hold the [0] ke y.
2. E nt er [IN STALLE RCODE] (default: 000000).
3. Enter se ction [954] (DGP-48) / [4004] (DGP-NE96).
4. E nt er th e [SERIAL #] of the source keypad. T he source is
the programmed keypad whose data you want to copy to
Digiplex /DigiplexNE LCD Keypad 7n
other keyp ads.
5. E nt er th e [SERIAL #] of the destination keypads. The destination is the keypad(s) you want to program with the
source’s data. If you want to program more than one
keypad with the source’s data, enter the serial numbers
of the keypads one at a time.
6. O nc e yo u ha ve en te r e d th e se r i al nu m b ers o f the
keypads you want to program, press the [ACC] key.

Optio n [5] ON = Keypad's tamper is enabled.
4.13 Communication Bus Voltmeter
The Communication Bus Voltmeter provides a real-time display
of the voltage so you can v erify if the bus is supplying sufficient
power at the keypad’s location. The readings will appear on the
LCD screen. A reading of 10.5V indicates that the voltage is too
low. This may occur when too many modules are connected to
the bus, a m odule is installed too far from the panel or if the
Digiplex/DigiplexNE LCD Keypad 15n
system is running on the battery. In some cases adding an
external power supply may correct the situation.

5.0 Programmable Output Options
5.1 PGM State
SECTION [ 0 06 ]: O PT ION [1]
The keypad's on-board PGM can be s et as normally open or
normally closed. When an open PGM is activated, it will close the
circuit from ground and enable any devices connected to it.
When a c losed P GM is activated, it will op en the circ uit and
disable any devices connected to it. When the PGM Activation
Event occurs (see section 5.6), the PGM will switch to its
opposite state (i.e. open to closed or closed to open).
Optio n [1] OFF= PGM is Normally Open (default).
Optio n [1] ON=PGM is Normally C losed.
The PGM can prov ide 50mA to any device connected to
it.
5.2 PGM Deactiva tion Mode
SECTION [ 0 06 ]: O PT ION [2]
If the keypad is in PGM Timed Mode, the keypad's on-board
PGM will be deactivated according to the PGM Timer (see
section 5.5 below) instead of the PGM Deactivation Event.
Optio n [2] O F F = D ea c t iv at e s o n P GM D e ac tiva ti o n Ev en t

5.3 PGM Base Time
SECTION [ 0 06 ]: O PT ION [3]
If the keypad's on-board PGM is set in PGM Timed Mode (see
section 5.2 on page 17) you must define whether the value
programmed in section [008] is in minutes or seconds.
Optio n [3] OFF = PG M Base Time is 1 second (default).
Optio n [3] ON = PGM Base Time is 1 minute.
5.4 PGM Override
SECTION [ 0 06 ]: O PT ION [4]
When the PGM override is enabled, the keypad's on-board PGM
will ignore PGM Activation Events (section section 5.6 on page
19, page 19), PGM Deactivation Events (section section 5.7 on
page 19, page 19), and PG M Timers (sec tion section 5.5 on
page 18, page 18). It will remain in its normal state until the PGM
Override is disabled. This option may be used to test the PGM
connections.
Optio n [4] OFF = PGM Override disabled (default).
Optio n [4] ON = PGM Override enabled.
5.5 PGM Timer
SECTION [008]
If the keypad's on-board PGM is in PGM Timed M ode, the value
programmed in section [008] represents how long the PGM w ill
remain in its opposite state (see section 5.1 on page 17) after
being activated. To program the timer, enter a 3-digit decimal
18 R eference & Installation Manual
value (000 to 255) in section [008]. The 3-digit value will be
multiplied by the PGM Base Time of 1 second or 1 minute (see
section 5.3 above). Default: 5 seconds.
5.6 PGM Activation Event
SECTION S [009] TO [012]
The PGM Activation Event determines which event will activate
the keypad's on-board PGM output. The EVENTGRO U P specifies
the event, the FE ATU REGROUP identifies the s ource, and the
START # and END # sets the range within the Feature Group. Use
the PGM Programming Table in the Digiple x/DigiplexNE Modules’ Programming Guide to program the keypad’s PGM
Activation Event.
