ashs Posted January 20 Posted January 20 I'd like to have an additional keypad for my alarm system. Is it straightforward to add one? It will be right next to the main Galaxy panel. Will it need to be configured in any way? Many thanks. Ash Quote
GalaxyGuy Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Just ensure the address is set to an available slot (rotary dial on the keypad PCB) connect and enter / exit engineering to find the keypad. Use diagnostic menu 61.1.2 to view current keypad addresses. Normally setting the new keypad to rotary position 1 will be fine as an existing keypad will be at 0. Quote
ashs Posted January 21 Author Posted January 21 (edited) Thank you. Is it just connected in parallel with existing keypads? Is this one connecting via RF. Is that an option? Keypad RF?? If this is the case, I would I add it? I can easily add a power supply to it. Other than the engineer code, do I need to know anything else before connecting it? Edited January 21 by ashs Quote
GalaxyGuy Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Yes, parallel connection on the rs485 bus. A to A and B to B. You don't get an RF keypad. You do get the SelfMon VMOD module, which gives a keypad via browser on your WiFI. Quote
