Honeywell / ADE - Optima and Remote KeyPad

[ross_37]

Hi I have just installed a Optima G4 panel and connected up to a remote Keypad. The alarm works ok however the RKP is displaying the "System Optima G4, Software installed and Build number". I guess l have to activate this. How do you enable the Remote key pad (RKP) from the panel or get this functioning. In the engineers manual it only talk about activating the PA on the RKP. Help would be appreciated

Thanks for your suggestion but I have tried this but no change. There is nothing happening when you press any key

Power down, remove battery the power up again, mains first....if no joy, wiring incorrect or keypad faulty

Tazz thanks for your input. I have not connected the battery at present and the system has been power up and down several times. I have noticed one discrepancy in the paperwork in the LCD installation guide paperwork the common and sound are on TBI 2 (sound) and 3 ( 0v) in the Optima installation manual TB1 sound is on 3 and 0v is on 2 which is what l have wired to as the indication on RKP PCB was sound on TB1 terminal 3 terminal 2 0v. from this l suspect the RKP must be faulty

The RKP connections (J5) on panel are 6 cores and labelled like for like on RKP.

Hi thats correct J5 is on the Optima panel and has 6 connection and RKP has 6 connections between TB1 and TB2 and they are wired correctly to the PCB's It looks like a printing error in the installation manuals

 

[tazz]

There is no printing error in manual....13v, ov sound, comms and tamper go to j5 13v 0v, sound, comms and tampers

 

[ross_37]

Hi l agreed with the connection, the error is in the RKP installation guide where the TB1 connection +13v, sound, 0v, differ to the PCB's +13v, 0v, sound and the Optima manual. The RKP installation guide came with the RKP

Ok, is the panel show any fault leds..?

 

[ross_37]

There are no faults on the panel. The panel works fine on setting the alarm and triggering thats why l thought there must be a enable code in System Settings. Flag 3 on page 23 of the install guide shows the display but nothing else. (I think is is intended to to show software version). On the RKP the tamper works and the "back light" is on

If panel is all ok and works with onboard keypad, the keypad is still in eng mode or locked, ...power down panel and on remote keypad only short nvm pins with srewdriver and power up with pins still shorted. after 5 secs remove, keypad show kick back to factory reset....main panel will remain programmed

 

[ross_37]

Tazz thanks for your help l will have to try that in the morning as it is late now (neighbours). I will update you tomorrow

ok on the optima the lcd kepad was an after thaught....hence the panel and the keypad are programmed separately

Reading the LCD keypad installation instruction it has the technical spec and in this it talks about the default entry code 0123. Is there a code for the LCD keypad or Does this take the code from the panel as l have changed the panel code to xxxx and if l am defaulting the LCD keypad will this cause a problem ?
