Keypad installation

Insert the battery into the keypad and install it within the hearing distance of the bridge. The keypad has to be on the same channel as the installed bridge and detectors. The maximum possible distance from the bridge on the chosen site can be checked with the Installation app Trace function, which will display signal quality between the keypad and the bridge in real-time (recommended signal -20 to -90 dBm). Make a tamper alarm with the Keypad before fastening it to the mounting bracket - this will establish a connection to the server and will allow device configuration via the cloud faster. 

Configuring the keypad

First, identify the GUID number of the keypad from the shipment documents or by using the Reconeyez Installation app. As with other Reconeyez devices, movethe keypad into the same device area in the Reconeyez cloud with the devices that it will be installed with. Make sure to name the keypadand check/save the correct device configuration (Timezone, Routine check interval, Tamper sensitivity). In the Keypad detailed view in the Devices menu configure the following keypad-specific parameters.

Keypad status visibility

Security settings
Configure how many times the PIN code may be inserted wrong, over which time period, and for how long the keypad will consequently be locked.

User Arm/Disarm permissions
Assign users access to the chosen keypad. Only users with Arm/Disarm access or higher can be assigned Keypad access. Also, users must have a valid email address saved under their user account, where the Keypad PIN code will be sent. The Actions column allows to create a Keypad PIN code or delete it. The PIN code will be sent straight to the user's email.

If a user that does not have an email assigned is added a warning message will appear to advise no email associated with this user. The user is still added however an email will need to be added to this user via the user access page, after which a new code will be to be sent by using the regenerate code button
