Preparation This section gives basic guidelines for connecting the wires from your alarm system to the keypad and for assigning an address to the keypad. CONNECTING THE KEYPAD TO YOUR ALARM SYSTEM 1. Route four-conductor cable (not supplied, available at your local RadioShack store) from the alarm system to the location where you will install the keypad. 2.
3. Connect the wires from the keypad to the alarm system’s terminals as indicated: Keypad Terminal To 49-459 Terminal No. To 49-454 Terminal No.

than one keypad, or there is already a keypad installed, follow these steps to change the keypad address. 1. If there are other keypads installed (including the keypad supplied with the system), remove the installed keypads and note the position of the two DIP switches on their back panels. DIP Switches 2. Use a sharp object (such as the tip of a pen) to set the DIP switches on each new keypad so no two keypads have the same setting.
Keypad Number Address 1 Address 2 1 Off Off 2 On Off 3 Off On 4 On On TESTING THE CONNECTION After following the steps in “Connecting the Keypad to Your Alarm System” on Page 9 and “Assigning an Address” on Page 11, follow the instructions in your alarm system’s owner’s manual to arm and disarm the system using the keypad. After you confirm proper operation, disconnect the cable from both the alarm system and the keypad.
INSTALLING THE KEYPAD Note: Install the keypad indoors away from dust, dirt, and temperature or humidity extremes. 1. Select a location on the wall that is not directly over a wall stud. An electronic wall stud finder is available at your local RadioShack store. 2. Using a single-gang electrical box as a template, cut a hole in the wall the same size as the box. 3.
4. Insert the box into the hole and nail it to the wall stud or use metal strips designed for mounting an electrical box in wallboard. The box should be recessed slightly behind the surface of the wall. 5. Connect the wires to the keypad and the alarm system terminals according to the chart in “Connecting the Keypad to Your Alarm System” on Page 9. 6. Press the button on the bottom of the keypad, then remove the keypad’s front cover. 7. Secure the keypad to the box using the supplied screws.
Operation SETTING THE SECURITY CODE The 49-454 or 49-459 security system lets you store one security code. 1. If the alarm system is armed, disarm it by entering the current four-digit personal security code. (If this is the first time you have turned on the system, the security code is the system’s default code.) ARMED on the keypad turns off. 2. Hold down SETUP for 2 seconds. Both ARMED and READY flash slowly. 3. Enter the current security code. Both ARMED and READY flash rapidly.
4. Enter a new security code. Both ARMED and READY turn off. 5. Enter the new security code again to confirm. If you entered the correct code, READY flashes three times and the system returns to standby mode. If you entered the wrong code, ARMED flashes three times and the system returns to standby mode. Start again from Step 1. Notes: • If you take longer than 30 seconds to complete Step 3, 4, or 5, the keypad automatically resets to the old code. Begin again from Step 2.

USING ANNUNCIATE MODE Annunciate mode lets you set the alarm system so it sounds a brief pre-alarm if it detects any change in the assigned zone. 1. If the system is disarmed and no zone is violated, hold down SETUP for about 2 seconds. ARMED and READY flash slowly. 2. Enter the current security code within 30 seconds. ARMED and READY flash rapidly. 3. Press ANNC (annunciate) once. ARMED and READY turn off. 4. To enable annunciate mode, press ENTER. READY flashes 3 times.
To disable annunciate mode, hold down SETUP for about 2 seconds. ARMED and READY flash slowly. Enter the security code, press ANNC, then press CANCEL. READY flashes 3 times.

TRIGGERING A PANIC ALARM You can trigger a panic alarm at any time by pressing ENTER and CANCEL at the same time. The system does not have to be armed to sound the panic alarm. TESTING THE SYSTEM Check the system once a week to be sure it is operating properly.
Important: To prevent false alarms when testing your system, be sure to disconnect security dialers or any other devices that send a message to a remote location. Because the alarm system sounds during these tests, be sure to notify your neighbors and any proper authorities of the test.
Troubleshooting If your keypad does not arm or disarm your system, be sure that all connections are correct. Additionally, the security code might have reset to the factory default if the security system loses AC power. Try the default security code. If you cannot remember the code, refer to your security system’s owner’s manual for instructions on how to reset the factory default code. Care Keep the keypad dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
not drop it. Keep the keypad away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Modifying or tampering with the keypad’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty. If your keypad is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
