Output wiring (B942/B942W only)

The keypad provides one NO (normally open) output. (It includes NO and C (COMMON)
terminals.) When the output is in an active (energized) state, the NO has continuity with the C
terminal.

Keyswitches

You can connect a maintained or momentary contact keyswitch to turn an area All On (armed)
or Off (disarmed). Connect the keyswitch to an on-board or off-board point's sensor loop. You
can program outputs to activate arming status LEDs. Refer to Outputs in RPS Help and Point
Assignments in the control panel Program Entry Guide.
9.2.1

Operation

Maintained contact
For points connected to the keyswitch and programmed for a maintained contact, an open on
the sensor loop turns the area All On (armed). The control panel force arms all faulted points,
regardless of the entry in the FA Bypass Max program item. Returning the circuit to normal
turns the area off.
Momentary contact
For points connected to the keyswitch and programmed for a momentary contact, shorting the
arming sensor loop toggles the area's arming state between All On (armed) and Off
(disarmed). The control panel force arms all faulted points, regardless of the entry in the FA
Bypass Max program item.
Refer to Area Parameters and Point Assignments in RPS Help or the control panel Program Entry
Guide.
Silence the bell
To silence the bell (stop Alarm Bell output) if the system is On (armed), operate the keyswitch
to turn the area off. If the area is disarmed, turn the keyswitch once to start the arming
process. Turning the keyswitch a second time stops the arming process and silences the bell.

The address switch on the keypad is set to an address that is not programmed in the
control panel. Change the address switch to the proper address, or program the control
panel using RPS or a different keypad.
If your keypads are not powered from the control panel, the control panel might have lost
power. Confirm the control panel has power.
The wiring from the keypad to the control panel is not correct or has failed. Resolve any
wiring problems.
