13. Assigning the Keypad to the Controller
The Keypad can only communicate to the Controller if they both have the same ID number. Each Keypad
and Controller comes with 8-position rotary switch, which is used to set this ID number. Multiple Control-
lers could be programmed to respond to the same Keypad or multiple Keypads could be used to send com-
mands to the same Controller (their ID settings should be the same). When the Keypad and Controller are
shipped from the factory, they all have ID number set to ‘2’ so every Keypad can communicate with every
Controller. The installer needs to change this only if multiple Controllers and Keypads interfere with each
other.
Rotary Switch found on the back of the Wireless Keypad and the Controller.
14. Tamper Alarm
The keypad is protected with the tamper switch installed at the back to prevent unauthorized removal. When
this switch is released, the keypad sends the message to the Controller signaling tamper alarm and the Con-
troller goes into the alarm mode. This alarm can be silence by entering the password.
15. Wrist Tags
Also referred to as “Tags”, these devices are attached to the patient. Wrist tags initiate alarm conditions
when it enters an area protected by a Controller. The Controller emits a constant field of radio waves, which
is picked up by the Tag when in the proximity of the Controller. The Tag reports its presence to the Con-
troller when it senses this RF field.
16. Power Supply
The
Controller
is powered by a 24V DC / 500mA external wall adapter power supply.
The Controller also has a rechargeable backup battery to provide power for the processor for 1 hour or until
power is restored in case of an emergency where the main power supply is cut off. During this time the
audible alarm is generated at the controller which can be muted by the entering the bypass code at the wire-
less keypad.
The
Wireless Keypad
is powered by a lithium battery at 3V / 220 mA. The battery should last for at least
5 years with average of 100 keypad entries per day.
When the battery is low on the keypad the “Battery Low” RED light will flash once every 6 seconds, and
the Controller buzzer will give a low tone beep at the same time.
The battery is easily replaceable by opening the enclosure from the front.
