Installation Manual

Veritas Excel Keypad

INS165
Installation
The Veritas Excel Remote Keypad (RKP) is only suitable for use with
the Texecom Veritas Excel Control Panel. Any combination of the
Veritas RKP & Veritas Excel keypad may be used, up to 6 in total,
with the Veritas Excel.

Mounting
Open the keypad by carefully inserting a small flat-blade
screwdriver into each slot at the base of the unit. Gently push the
screwdriver to ease the retaining clips upward, DO NOT LEVER OR
TWIST. Excessive force is NOT required. The front flap and front
cover can now be removed.

Mount the keypad using at least two appropriate countersunk

screws (no larger than No. 8). A keyhole slot has been provided to
assist mounting and aid levelling.

2 INS165
Wiring
It is strongly recommended that the system is completely powered
down (mains and battery) before wiring a keypad.
Connect the keypad to the control panel using 4-core cable as
follows:

Keypad Control Panel

12V AUX+
0V AUX-
T T
R R

Up to six keypads may be connected in parallel (star) or series

(daisy-chain) or any combination.

!" When using long cable runs or connecting keypads in series

(daisy-chain) ensure that the voltage at the keypad is not
more than 2V less than the voltage at the control panel.

When using 6-core or 8-core cable always use the spare

cores to “double-up” on 0V. This will allow longer cable runs
particularly when connecting keypads in series (daisy-chain).
As a rule ‘trebling-up’ on 0V will be more beneficial than
‘doubling-up’ on 12V and 0V.

INS165 3
Selecting an Address
Each keypad MUST be given a different address using the DIP
switch on the PCB as follows:

Address DIP 1 DIP 2 DIP 3 DIP 4

1 N/A Off Off Off
2 N/A Off Off On
3 N/A Off On Off
4 N/A Off On On
5 N/A On Off Off
6 N/A On Off On

!" NEVER set two RKPs to the same address.

Keypads are factory set to address 1.
If the keypad is powered but offline (i.e. T and R not
connected) it will display its address.
If an invalid address is selected, the keypad will sound an
error tone

4 INS165
Configuring The Keypad
When the system is powered up it automatically checks and
configures all connected keypads. It is strongly recommended that
the system is completely powered down (mains and battery) before
wiring a keypad. If a keypad is added without removing power then
it must be configured as follows:
From the unset state:

Enter your Engineer code !!!!

Press " to access the Programming Menu
Enter #$ to select the Configure RKPs option
Press ", the system will chime & scan for RKP addresses 1 - 6
Press % to return to the Programming Menu
Press % to return to the unset state

!" If an RKP is configured but off-line the system will have a

tamper fault.

INS165 5
Programming Mode
To access the Installer programming mode:

Enter the Engineer Access code !!!! and press

", the display will read as follows for 10 seconds:
!"#$%&'()#*#(
+,"#-"(.#%*///(
(
After 10 seconds the display will read as follows:

+01'0#2(31$"(
4&*"0(56*%1&(((7(

To quit programming press % and the system will return to

unset.

!" If you encounter problems, press

to unset.
% to return the system

If no keys are pressed, the system will automatically return to

unset after 4 minutes.

There are two ways to select options whilst in the programming

mode:
1. Select an option directly by entering a 2-digit number (e.g. for
changing your Access code, enter &#).

2. Wherever a ' symbol appears on the display, use the

' key to scroll up and down through the menus and press
( or " to access the menu.
