To fix the invalid address and red system LED issue on the Intek Elite Version 8D after a power cut:
1. Check Keypad Addressing: Ensure each keypad has a unique address. Use the address link table: - Cut specific links (A, B, C) to set the correct address. - For example, cut Link A only for address #2.
2. Verify Address Changes: Make sure the changes are clean cuts between link blocks. Improper cuts may cause address errors.
3. Check for System Alarms: If zone LEDs are on, refer to their alarm meanings: - LED 1: Battery Low - LED 2: Mains Failure - LED 3: Telephone Line Failure - LED 4: Radio Detector Battery Low - LED 5: Radio Pendant Battery Low - LED 6: Supervised Detector Failure - LED 7: Zone Inactivity Timeout - LED 8: Dialer Kiss-off Failure
4. Resolve the Alarm: Address any active alarm condition (e.g., restore mains power if LED 2 is on).
5. Power Cycle the System: After fixing the address and clearing alarms, restart the system to reset the red system LED.
6. Confirm Normal Operation: The red system LED should turn off if the address is valid and no alarms are active.

This Elite Version 8D alarm control panel has been designed to provide the most requested features for both the installer & the end-user. These features include ease of installation, ease of programming and user friendly operation all in a package which is reliable, functional and attractive.
INPUTS The Elite 8D has 5 separate programmable monitored analogue inputs, Programmable, multi-state detection inputs Programmable tamper input ( with optional Key-switch functions) Each input must be terminated with the appropriate value or combination of end-of-line resistors, even if the input is unused. ZONE INPUTS - Each of the 4 zone inputs can be assigned one of the following configuration options;...
INPUTS cont. TAMPER - A 24Hr tamper circuit is available for monitoring tamper status of detectors, junction boxes, cabinets and satellite sirens etc. This Tamper circuit is programmable with 2 options (P170E1E) either normally closed loop or 2k2 EOL supervision( the default is normally closed loop). The tamper circuit must be terminated with an end-of- line resistor if 2k2 EOL supervision is selected.
TELECOM INTERFACE The communicator facility of this Elite 8D controller has been designed to provide optimum flexibility in the way in which alarm events are reported. This flexibility includes options for reporting to a central monitoring station using Ademco Contact ID format, a domestic reporting option using alternating siren tones, a format for reporting alarms to an alpha numeric pager and a powerful speech dialler.
Elite KEYPAD Ready/Ex Elite System Trouble Program Armed A(0) Armed B(9) Standard Elite LED Keypad Window Layout When the Elite is displaying codes and address values in program mode it may be necessary to display the 9 and 0 digits. As there are no Zone indicators for 0 and 9 the "A" and "B" indicators are used. ie.
VIEW MEMORY MODE When viewing the memory event buffer at the keypad by pressing the “MEMORY” button, the first thing that will always be displayed is the “SYSTEM” LED. If the system led turns on but no other Zone LED’s are on at the same time, this means that there are no current system alarms.
KEYPAD INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Separate the two keypad halves by carefully inserting a small screwdriver into the release slots on the bottom edge of the keypad front half and applying a gentle pressure. This will release the bottom edge of the housing enough for you to unclip the top.
KEYPAD FUNCTIONS The Elite LED Keypad consists of; an 18 button, backlit silicone rubber keypad, 14 LED indicators and an internal piezo buzzer housed in a modern white plastic housing. The plastic housing has a hinged front lid to cover and protect the rubber buttons when not in use. All the electronics are contained on a single circuit board inside the housing.
PROGRAMMING YOUR ELITE HOW TO PROGRAM The programming sequence always follows this pattern; <PROGRAM> - <1,2 or 3 digit address> - <ENTER> 3 short beeps if OK - 1 long beep if error The leds will display current value or status Enter the new value or option <New Value>...
TO EXIT PROGRAM MODES To exit either program mode when you have finished programming: Press <PROGRAM> - <ENTER> Program light goes out The panel is now back in Run Mode, any program changes you have made will have replaced previous values and be in effect.
