1. INTRODUCTION.
The Alarm Keypad is a powerful product which, when connected to an IC2000 or IC4000 controller, will
allow a user to arm/disarm alarms in either a single zone or in multiple zones by activating and deactivating
inputs on the controller.
When combined with the GuardPoint Pro software, it can be configured to respond only to an authorised
user, to lock off doors, or to set multiple alarms. The status of any alarm type (whether it is armed or
disarmed) can also be queried.
2. REQUIREMENTS.
In order to establish a basic Alarm Keypad system, you will require the following:
An IC2000 or IC4000 Controller with latest firmware (see section 2.1)
A Redundant Communications Bus (RCB) Kit
A PC running the latest version of GuardPoint Pro
A GuardPoint Pro dongle with the ACM module
In most cases you will also have one or more readers which will allow for access through the door. It is also
assumed that you have at least one cardholder established on your database.
Additionally, you should ensure that you are running the latest version of GuardPoint Pro. You can check
and/or update your version of the software by visting the Support section of our website, which can be found
at http://www.sensoraccess.co.uk.
2.1 Checking the Firmware
A controller’s firmware is essentially a series of codes that tell the controller how to behave in certain
situations. In most cases, your new controller should already have the latest firmware loaded, but there may
be cases where you wish to set up an Alarm Keypad on an older panel. In order to check the date of the
firmware on your controller, you will need to start GuardPoint Pro and to make sure you have comms.
Once the application is communicating
with the controller, go to Communication,
Diagnostics, then click on the name of
your controller. The right-hand window
will fill out with the controller details.
Next, click on the line that says Click here to get firmware version to
bring up the firmware details.
The date of the firmware is listed at the front of the long alphanumeric string that appears. It is vital that
your firmware date is 20/09/06 or later. If so, you can close the GuardPoint Pro software and continue with
the setup as listed under section 3.
If your date is prior to 20/09/06, you will need to upgrade your firmware. Because this can be a tricky
procedure, and one which can potentially damage a controller, Sensor do not offer firmware updates on our
website. Instead, you will need to contact our support department, who will be happy to provide you with a
copy of the latest firmware, complete with instructions on how to apply it to your controller.
Contact details for our support department are listed in Appendix A at the back of this manual
