Unpacking
The Power keypad package includes the following parts:
• One Power keypad • Keypad inner door labels
• Four mounting screws • 1 tamper switch
• 2 end-of-line resistors • 1 Installation Instructions
Mounting
You should mount the keypad where it is accessible to designated
points of entry and exit. Once you have selected a dry and secure
location, perform the following steps to mount the keypad.
1. Removing the keypad from the backplate for the first time.
(a) Position the keypad as indicated below, insert screwdriver and
rotate.
2. Removing the keypad from backplate once mounted.
(a) Open door, holding it 90° to the keypad, as shown below.
(b) Insert screwdriver into slot located under the door hinge and
rotate the screwdriver.
Wiring
1.Before wiring the unit, ensure that all power (AC transformer and
battery) is disconnected from the control panel.
2.Connect the four Keybus wires from the control panel (red, black,
yellow and green) to the keypad terminals. Refer to diagram:
3.If programmed as an input, you can connect a device - such as a
door contact - to the ‘P/Z’ terminal of the keypad. This eliminates
the need to run wires back to the control panel for the device. To
connect the zone, run one wire from the device to the ‘P/Z’ terminal
and the other wire from the device to the B (black) terminal. For
powered devices, run the red wire to the R (positive) terminal and
the black wire to the B (negative) terminal. When using end of line
supervision, connect the zone according to one of the configurations
outlined in your system’s Installation Manual.
4.If the ‘P/Z’ terminal is programmed as an output, the output fol-
lows the PGM programmed in Section [080]. A small relay, buzzer
or other DC operated device may be connected between the positive
supply voltage and the ‘P/Z’ terminal (maximum load is 50mA).
Applying Power
Once all wiring is complete, apply power to the control panel:
1. Connect the battery leads to the battery.
2. Connect the AC transformer.
For more information on control panel power specifications, see the
control panel Installation Manual.
Programming the Keypad
There are several programming options available for the keypad.
These are described below. Programming the keypad is similar to
programming the rest of the system. When you are in the keypad
programming sections, the keypad will display which options are
turned on along the top of the display. To turn an option on or off,
press the number correspond-
ing to the option on the num-
ber pad. The numbers of the
options that are currently
turned ON will be displayed.
For example, if options 1 and
4 are on, the display will look
like this on the different key-
pad displays:
For information on program-
ming the rest of your security
system, please refer to your system’s Installation Manual.
Programming LCD Labels
All LCD programming is done per keypad. If more than one LCD key-
pad is present on the system, labels programmed at one keypad can
be broadcast to all other LCD keypads. Perform the following proce-
dure in order to broadcast labels:
Step 1 - Program one LCD keypad completely.
Step 2 - Make sure all LCD keypads are connected to the Keybus.
Step 3 - Enter Installer’s Programming, then enter section [998] at
the keypad that was programmed. The keypad will now broadcast
all the information programmed to all the other LCD keypads on the
system.
Step 4 - When the keypad is finished press the [#] key to exit.
NOTE: Label brodcast from this keypad is only compatible with other
PK5500 and RFK5500 Keypads.

Enrolling the Keypad
The keypad will need to be assigned to a partition and slot if supervi-
sion or keypad zones are being used. Keypad assignments and key-
pad option programming must be done at each keypad individually.
The 1st digit of keypad assignment is used to determine partition
assignment (1 to 8). If partitioning is not used, enter [1]. For Global
Keypads, enter [0].
NOTE: LED and ICON keypads cannot be programmed as Global
Keypads
The 2nd digit of keypad assignment is used to determine slot assign-
ment for keypad supervision. Each keypad will be assigned a differ-
ent slot number from 1 to 8. PK5500 and RFK 5500 LCD keypads
come defaulted in slot 8. If LCD keypads are used one LCD keypad
must remain in slot 8.
NOTE: The RFK55XX enrolls as two modules:
1 = keypad section of the RFK55XX
17 = receiver section of the RFK55XX
NOTE: Deleting all wireless devices from the RFK55XX or
defaulting the RFK55XX will cause a supervisory fault.
