MEAD BOND - SIZE: 5.500” X 8.500” - SCALE: 1-1 - FOL DING: ALBUM FOLD - BINDING: SADDLE-STITCH 2 KEYPAD OVERVIEW The LCD Supervised Remote Keypad adds remote control to Alarm Force Security System Panels. The wireless keypad transmits key presses to the panel and displays alphanumeric data received from the panel. A press of any key puts the keypad in a fully operational mode with backlit LCD and RF Transceiver active. After 15 seconds of inactivity the keypad will return to the standby mode unless tones are being generated. If tones are required, then the keypad will enter standby mode only when tone cycles have been completed. The keypad can be wall mounted and is powered by four 1.5 volt AA batteries. The batteries will operate the keypad for three years based on two minutes of operation per day. If the AA batteries become low, the keypad will send low battery reports to the panel. The keypad will continue to operate for 3 months after the fi rst low battery report. KEYPAD RESOURCES The keypad consists of 20 silicone rubber keys. The keys are backlit making it visible in low light conditions. OK 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 * # 3 REAL TIME CLOCK The keypad has a real time clock (RTC) that must be set during installation and after battery replacement. The RTC is required for the keypad to display time- and date-stamped events, using time offset data received from the panel. Time and date are also shown during the keypad status display when the keypad fi rst wakes up: KEYPAD READY 28/07/2011 12:45AM Depending on the country/language selected, the time and date format is: French and Spanish display: DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM (24 hour time) -- default US/English display: MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM (AM/PM) RTC time and date are set locally at the keypad from the keypad confi guration menu. A confi guration setting is also provided to manually turn on Daylight Saving Time (advances or sets back time by 1 hour). A “clock” key is provided for local keypad operation and confi guration: • Pressing the clock key once displays the keypad status and time and date on the LCD. • Pressing and holding the clock key for more than 1 second displays the time and date setting on the LCD (fl ashing digits), which can then be set using the numbers (0-9) and navigation keys ( ) on the keypad. • Pressing the clock key again provides the setting for Daylight Saving Time (DST) on/off. • Pressing OK toggles between AM-PM, DST ON-OFF • Pressing the clock key once more exits keypad set-up mode and resumes normal operation. LCD The keypad has a two line, twenty characters LCD display. The display is backlit with LEDs for low light conditions. The LCD display text is controlled by commands from the panel. The keypad will also display information on the LCD upon wake-up (“keypad status”) and in response to certain key press combinations. The LCD is capable of displaying over 200 characters and symbols. 4 Autonomous Keypad Commands and User Prompts In most operations, the keypad will only send key presses to the panel and in response the panel will update the display, LED and tone annunciations as needed to refl ect the current state of the system. When doing an initial installation or manually activated program updates the keypad will function autonomously and provide user prompts without intervention by the panel. Entering autonomous keypad command operation: When the keypad detects the long press *, it will display the following user prompt on the 2-line LCD display: SPECIAL COMMAND <-- TOGGLE CHIME --> A long press * key press message is sent to the panel at this time. At this point, the panel may respond to disallow the operation of special commands if special commands are disabled. The keypad will display the reason the command is disallowed and abort the autonomous command mode: SPECIAL COMMANDS DISABLED Alarm history The alarm history command is serviced by the ARM DISPLAY message packet. Up to 5 alarm events are sent from the panel to the keypad in a single message packet. These events are displayed one event at a time on the LCD. The user may scroll through these events by pressing the keys. Pressing OK exits the display (and autonomous command operation). Display example with 3 alarm events: 07/22/11 1:55PM ZONE 32 ALARM --> 07/20/11 11:55AM <-- ZONE 21 ALARM --> 06/17/11 12:55AM <-- ZONE 32 ALARM 5 Arming history The arming history command is serviced by the ARM DISPLAY message packet. Individual arm or disarm events are sent from the panel to the keypad in a single message packet; if arming, any bypassed zones are also included (up to 15) in the same message packet. These events are displayed one event at a time on the LCD. The user may scroll through these events and bypassed zones by pressing the keys. When viewing the last event in the list, pressing the key when displaying an event with no bypassed zones or the last bypassed zone listed will cause the keypad to send the key press to the panel, which in turn will provide a DISPLAY ARM message packet for the next event in the panel’s arming history. When viewing the fi rst event in the list, pressing the key when displaying an arm or disarm event will send the key press to the panel, which will provide a DISPLAY ARM message packet for the previous event in the panel’s arming history. Pressing OK exits the display (and autonomous command operation). Display example with 3 arming events, the fi rst one with two bypassed zones: 07/22/11 6:55AM KFOB 05 ARM AWAY --> 07/22/11 6:55AM <-- BYPASS ZONE 05 --> 07/22/11 6:55AM <-- BYPASS ZONE 08 --> 07/22/11 9:55PM <-- USER 05 ARM HOME --> 07/20/11 5:30PM <-- USER 05 DISARMED 6 Keypad Low Battery The keypad communicates a low battery condition to the panel through the low battery bit set in the KEY PRESS mess…

LINEAR LLC FCC ID: EF4DXS14 IC:1078A-DXS14 1.0 DESCRIPTION The DXS-14 is a one channel keypad transceiver operating at a frequency of 433.92 MHz. The DXS-14 is intended for use in security applications for protection of homes and dwelling units. The transmitter may be used with AlarmForce consoles. Each transmitter comes from the factory sequentially coded. Power is supplied by four 1.5 VDC AA batteries configured as two 3.0 Volt batteries in parallel. Battery life is estimated at a minimum of 3 years under typical conditions. 2.0 OPERATION The DXS14 is typically activated by pressing a key on the 20 button keypad. . A tamper switch is provided if the case top is removed. XLP Microprocessor: The XLP microprocessor (U1) controls all functions of the transceiver. The power supply is normially 3.0 VDC. As the batteries get weaker a SMPS U2 (Switch Mode Power Supply) is activated and will keep the system operating to a minimum of 1.8 VDC. Piezo annunciator U3 is drivern by oscillator U4C & U4D. The piezo signals each keystroke and will provide an emergency signal if the keypad goes into an alarm condition. RF Transceiver: Silicon Systems microprocessor/synthesizer U1 (Si10001) receives and transmits at 433.92 MHz. It has a 30 MHz reference crystal Y1 that provides the clock for an internally programmed frequency synthesizer. This IC receives, transmits and decodes the FM modulated serial data stream. Bi-directional RF switch U2 switches between transmit and receive functions for the antenna E_ANT2. In the transmit mode E_ANT2 output is filtered via lumped L/C networks LH, LO and LM. In receive mode, FL1 Is a bandpass filter that rejects spurious emissions outside of the 433.92 MHz receiver range. The transmitter is supervised. It will send a status transmission about every 1.2 hours to show the current status of the battery and contact switches. Any automatic or manually activated transmission will reset the internal status timer and the transmitter will wait another 1.2 hours to send the next status transmission. Due to battery limitations, the microprocessor IC has an internal clock that limits manually activated transmissions, even if the switch is held down, to no longer than 0.1 seconds. Only after the switch is released and then pressed again may another transmission cycle begin. LINEAR LLC FCC ID: EF4DXS14 IC:1078A-DXS14 On a brief momentary pressing of the keypad or tamper contacts, the microprocessor will power up and complete RF data message. This transmission will take approximately 100 mSec. FCC Rules 15.231 (a)(1) allows no longer than 5 seconds upon the release of a manually activated transmitter push button. The receiver will wait for an acknowledgement of the transmissions, if none is received then the signal will be sent again. Up to a maximum of 5 times. XLP Microprocessor (U1) contains a voltage comparator port that will sense a low battery if the battery is below 1.8 VDC. XLP microprocessor (U1) contains a RTC (Real Time Clock) that runs on a low power 32.768 KHz crystal oscillator. This 32.768 KHz crystal is only used tio keep track of day and date. Data communications and keyboard functions are referenced to an external 30 MHz crystal. 3.0 SPECIFICATIONS Product Identification: DXS-14 keypad transmitter. Encoding Format: GFSK FM modulated code for AlarmForce. Gaussian Frequency Shift Keyed format. Encoding Technique: Each transmitter is programmed with the sequential serial transmitter ID number.
