In most cases, your new controller should already have the latest firmware loaded, but there may be cases where you wish to set up an Alarm Keypad on an older panel. In order to check the date of the firmware on your controller, you will need to start GuardPoint Pro and to make sure you have comms.
To wire the Alarm Keypad, turn the unit over to expose the white terminal block on the rear. There are four ports here, which should be wired as follows:...
This step should only ever need to be done when installing an Alarm Keypad for the first time. 1) Locate the GuardPoint Pro installation folder – This can be done in two ways. If you are comfortable with using a PC, you can navigate to the folder yourself (it is C:\Program Files\GuardPoint Pro by default).
3.4 Software Setup – GuardPoint Pro The Alarm Keypad set up works by activating and deactivating Alarm Zones, which are themselves defined by either single, or groups of, inputs, so the first stage of any set up is to define those groups.

Alarm Zone’s reader(s) will be inactive for all cardholders except supervisors. Example: Mr Test has a PIN of 1234. He goes to the Alarm Keypad panel, and presses 1 2 3 4 BYPASS 0 1 ARM. 01 is the Alarm Zone we defined earlier, which contains Input 1.
Alarm Keypad panel, where multiple alarms and/or controllers are wired to the same bus; or several Alarm Keypad panels, where multiple buses are used, with each bus requiring its own panel. An example of this architecture can be seen below:...
- input 4 of Controller 2 – remains armed. any situation where Alarm Zones have shared inputs, the Alarm Keypad will automatically ignore any input that is already is the requested state. For example, if an input is already armed and a Zone containin it is armed, that input will be ignored and remain armed.
