Installation Remote Keypad Installation Open the Remote keypad by removing the four stainless steel button head machine screws on the sides of the keypad case. The front and back half will now separate. Mount the back plate to the desired keypad location using the three keyed holes. Figure Eleven is a diagram of the circuit board found in the front half of the Remote keypad. - Page 18 TS1, pin 2 - 12 VAC TS1, pin 3 - ground The PTI remote keypad will operate on voltages from 12V to 24V AC or DC, however, 12VAC is recommended for best operation. If you purchased a complete PTI Falcon system, a 12VAC transformer is supplied with the system.

Page 19: Keypad Switches
It is possible to set the keypad number to any value from zero to thirty nine. Be aware that the PTI Falcon system reserves remote address zero for its own use, and a keypad set to be unit zero will not communicate with the base unit. - Page 20 set ON. The keypad only reads switch four at power up, so if you must change switch four, momentarily kill power to the keypad after it has been correctly set. Switch eight when ON, places a communication line terminating resistor across the RS485 data leads.

January 1, 1987 at 12:00 AM should appear on the display after power is applied. The PTI Falcon base unit transmits the correct date and time (the date and time shown on the base unit display) to the remote keypads once a minute, so the base unit may cause the date and time display to change to a different reading. - Page 22 door alarm system. Each building must have its own mux box. Buildings with a large number of doors to alarm may have more than one mux box. Remember that although the mux boxes may look identical on the outside, some boxes may contain expansion boards and are configured to handle more doors than other boxes, so take care to match the correct box to each building.

Remember that this is the number of the position in the terminal strip to which the door is wired, not your actual rental unit number. The PTI Falcon base unit will later translate the wire position number into your actual unit number. Continue testing until proper operation of all door switches has been verified. - Page 30 Do not plug the patch cord into the back of the PTI Falcon until after the AC power has been applied. Plugging the patch cord into the base unit will cause the base unit to be powered from its internal rechargeable batteries.

Page 44: Function #9 - Set 24Hr Unit
Function #9 - Set 24hr Unit? Function #9 - Set 24hr Unit allows you to mark individual units to have twenty four hour access to the property. Units with twenty four hour access are allowed to enter the property at any time, regardless of the programmed business hours for the property. Access may still be denied if it has been suspended using Function #6. -
Page 45: Function #10 - Save On Tape
Before storing the tape, it is suggested that you verify the tape contents by loading the tape back to the PTI Falcon using Function #11. The PTI Falcon verifies the integrity of each section of the tape before loading it, so you cannot alter the contents of memory if your tape did not properly record. -

Further alarms for the unit are then disabled until this function is executed to clear the alarm condition. -
Page 53: Function #18 - Read Doors
(opens or closes). When a system is first started, the PTI Falcon base unit assumes that all doors are initially closed. If you wish to force the base unit to read all doors so that it will be aware of doors that start in the open condition, Function #18 can be used. -
Page 54: Function #19 - Unknown Door Print
PTI Falcon will log the unknown door event on the printer as part of the access l o g. Since the unit has not been programmed into the PTI Falcon, it cannot print the unit number that is assigned to the door; it instead prints the remote number and physical wire terminal number for the door. -
