Visonic MKP 151, MKP 150 User Manual

MKP-150, MKP-151

2-Way Wireless Keypad

1. INTRODUCTION

NOTE: RELEVANT TO POWERMAX+ VERSION B AND ABOVE

The MKP-150 / MKP-151 (different color) operates using two-way
encrypted coded transmission and provides aural and visual indications.
For each PowerMax+, PowerMax Pro, PowerMaxComplete,
PowermaxExpress control panel, a maximum of two MKP-150/MKP-151
keypad devices may be enrolled.
The MKP-150/151 includes an optional partition feature. Partitioning
allows you to have up to three independently controllable areas with
different user codes assigned to each partition or one user code
assigned to up to three partitions. A partition can be armed or disarmed
regardless of the status of the other partitions within the system.

Note: The Partition feature appears only after Partitioning is enabled
via the control panel.

The MKP-150/MKP-151 may be operated either by AC power supply
or by battery power. If AC power is used, the device operates
continuously and the system status is constantly updated. If powered
by batteries, the keypad enters sleep mode 15 sec after last key
press. The keypad immediately becomes operational again upon
pressing of any key.

Note: In the event of an AC power failure, the MKP-150/MKP-151
operates on batteries as described above.

The device enables the user to arm/disarm the alarm system, to initiate
emergency/fire/panic alarms and to turn lighting devices on and off.
The main features of the MKP-150/MKP-151 are:

• Status, alarm

• Automatic reporting to the control panel of low battery voltage, AC

failure, tamper.

• Visual indications by red/green/amber LED and LCD display.

memory, and trouble data retrieval from the control panel.

User's Guide

• Keypad and LCD backlighting activation.

• Light dim / brightness

• Various audible signals sounded by the speaker in response to

specific actions.

• Automatic supervision messages.

• Diagnostic test of the control panel.

• Two long-life 3 Volt Lithium batteries.

• Wall mounting.

• Friendly programming.

The Power (green) LED lights when operated using AC power. The
Trouble (amber) LED lights if a "trouble" state is currently detected
within the control panel. The Chime (green) LED lights when the chime
function is active. The Arm (red) LED lights when the system is in
armed state (away mode), or flashes (home mode).

A periodic supervision message is transmitted, at regular intervals, from
the MKP-150/MKP-151 to the control panel. This ensures active
participation of the MKP-150/MKP-151 in the system.
Operating power is obtained from two 3 Volt Lithium batteries, or by
AC. A weak battery causes a "low battery" message to be sent to the
control panel.
A Screen Saver appears on the display (if enabled by the installer on the
control panel unit) when no key is pressed for more than 30 seconds.
The display reads “POWERMAX” and the LEDs do not light (to prevent
an intruder of knowing the system status). The normal display returns
after pressing the OFF button followed by entering user code (Refresh
by Code) or after pressing any key (Refresh by Key), depending on the
control panel settings of the installer. If Refresh by Key was selected,
the first key press (except for Fire and Emergency) causes the normal
display to return while a second press performs the key function. In the
case of the Fire and Emergency keys, the first key press causes the
normal display to return and also

performs the Fire/Emergency function.
