Keypad Switches - PTI Falcon Installation And Operation Manual

Auxiliary input one is used to monitor an alarm switch input, which is typically used to
detect forced opening of the gate or door controlled by the keypad. Auxiliary input two
can be used to lock out the keypad from accepting codes based on a contact closure
from an auxiliary device. This input is sometimes wired to a vehicle loop detector,
which forces the customer to be in a vehicle before the keypad will allow access. If
auxiliary contacts are used they should be dry contacts wired as follows:
TS1, pin 4 - auxiliary contact one
TS1, pin 5 - auxiliary contact common
TS1, pin 6 - auxiliary contact two

Keypad Switches

The keypad switches must be properly set. The PTI Falcon system considers odd
numbered keypads to be entrance keypads and even numbered keypads to be exit
keypads. The first entrance keypad should be unit number one, the second unit number
three, etc. Your exit keypads will then be units number two, four, etc. The unit number for
each keypad is set with the red rotary switch. For unit numbers higher than nine, DIP switch
number four should be turned on which adds ten to the rotary switch number. DIP switch
number five may be used to add twenty to the rotary switch setting. 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.
Finally, you must set the position of the eight DIP switches as needed for proper keypad
operation. The switch functions are summarized in the following table:
Switch 1: OFF = echo code on display;
Switch 2: OFF = disable auxiliary input one;
Switch 3: OFF = disable auxiliary input two;
Switch 4: OFF = 9600 baud communication;
baud
Switch 5: OFF = add zero to unit number;
Switch 6: OFF = add zero to unit number;
Switch 7: OFF = not used;
Switch 8: OFF = high comm line impedance;
When DIP switch one is turned on, an "X" will appear on the keypad display as each digit
of the access code is entered, rather than the actual digit. This may be set to your
individual preference.
The PTI Falcon uses a 1200 baud communication rate, therefore DIP switch four should be
ON = no echo
ON = enable
ON = enable
ON = 1200
ON = add ten
ON = add twenty
ON = not used
ON = low
