6 | Supervision
The control panel supervises all keypads on the SDI2 bus.
If a supervised keypad fails to respond to the control panel,
the control panel declares a Missing Keypad Trouble. When
the control panel can again communicate with the keypad, it
restores the Missing Keypad Trouble.
During a Missing Keypad Trouble, any connected keypad that
maintained contact with the control panel shows the Missing
Keypad Trouble as its idle text, and shows the missing
keypad's address. The communicating keypads also sound a
trouble tone. Users can silence the trouble tone. If no other
troubles exist, the tone silences when the missing keypad
restores.
7 | Show the firmware version
To show the keypad firmware version, remove and then
restore power. The keypad shows the model number, keypad
address, and firmware version for 10 seconds.
You can momentarily remove power at the keypad (or at the
control panel by disconnecting and then reconnecting the
wire from the "R" terminal.
NOTICE!
You can also view a keypad's firmware version in RPS.
8 | Keypad cleaning
Use a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaning solution to clean your keypad
(for example, microfiber cloth and eyeglass cleaner). Spray the cleaner
onto the cloth. Do not spray cleaners directly onto the keypad.
