Wireless Keypad Signal Strength
The signal strength for wireless keypads is visible in sections [591] to [598]; these sections represent keypads 1 through 8, respectively. To view the signal strength,
proceed as follows:
1. Enter the wireless keypad’s respective section (e.g., for keypad 1, enter section [591]).
2. Press on the keypad. As shown in table 21, the number of beeps correspond to a preset signal strength range.
NOTE: The visual representation of a keypad’s signal strength is dependent on the type of keypad. For LED keypads, zones 1 through 10 will illuminate, depending
on the signal strength. For instance, a signal strength of 8 will result in zones 1 through 8 to illuminate. For LCD keypads, a ten-level progress bar composed of
arrows will appear, followed by the numeric value. For a signal strength of 8, eight arrows will appear, followed by the number 8.
Wireless Keypad Labels
Use worksheet 25 to record your settings for wireless keypad labels. To reset these labels, see Description of Section [965] on page 53.
NOTE: For special characters and keypad letter assignments, see Label Programming with LCD Keypads on page 54.
Remote Control Programming
Use the following section to program remote controls for your MG/SP control panel.
Remote Control Button Assignment
Use worksheet 26 on page 35 to record your settings when assigning remote controls to your MG/SP control panel. See table 22 for details on button options for
these remotes.
WARNING: Remote controls which are supported by MG/SP control panels are the following: REM1, REM2, RAC1, RAC2, REM3, and REM15.
NOTE: The disarm button ( ) cannot be modified.
