2nd keypad for garage
- Thread starter Goldfix
- Start date
This what my M1 manual says . . .
1. Enter Keypad setup by one of the following three (3) methods:
a. Press and hold the " * " key for approx. 10-12 seconds (KP1 Keypads with firmware 2.1.48 or later)
b. Press the “ * ” and F5 keys at the same time for approx. 10 seconds. (older KP1 Keypads)
c. Hold ANY key pressed while applying power.
Keypad is in setup mode when the display indicates: Exit when done. F1 Set Addr.
2. Press the F1 key to display the current address setting.
3. Set the desired address by entering a number from 1 to X.
4. Press the Exit key when done.
I suggest you get the latest manual. In the mean time, follow the instructions that came with the keypad. Gotta go. The warden is calling for lights out.

Sounds like you have a problem with the data bus polarity on keypad 2 or the termination somewhere on the network. Check your wiring one more time focusing on the Data A and Data B connections. Also, give us the full detail on your data bus devices, how they are connected, and where you have terminations.
Keypad one also said communication failed before I installed the 2nd keypad. To my data but I have the red connected to +VKP, Green in Data A, Yellow in Data B and Black into NEG. I connected the matching colors from my keypad. Now on keypad 1, I have the main door sensor connected. The Yellow wire from the sensor is connected to the black on the keypad who is also connected the bloack going to the panel. The Green from the sensor is connected to the Blue from the keypad. I also have the a door sensor that should be going to my 2nd keypad however, I did not connect that yet. Want to get the keypad up and running first.
My first keypad (M1KPB) the termination is on JP2. My 2nd keypad (M1KP3)the termination is on JP1. On my panel the termination is on JP2. I also noticed that a termination of JP2 was installed on the board. I re-read the book and I don't see that JP2 on the board should be used. I think originally I was looking at ELK-M1DBHR graph. If I remove the JP2 from the board can you confirm if all looks good based on my above description please?

If you are referring to JP3 on the M1, then there should be no jumper installed. JP2 is for something entirely different.
There is nothing obviously wrong in the description you provided, but I am a bit confused. Did keypad 1 stop working when you connected keypad 2? If yes, then the jumper on JP3 explains this.

Well now that's different than what you said in Post #22 and entirely normal. I trust that enrollment completed and both keypads are now working?

Just remember he only has 4 wires to his keypads, and I don't think he's using a DBH/DBHR... I don't have time to study up on the manual to see the right way to hook that up but he has to be very careful about how his runs are hooked up. I don't think they're daisy chained; they're home run, so he only gets 2 runs off the main board IIRC, and that'll be his two keypads - and both should be terminated properly.
No their are not daisy chained. They are home runs. 4 wires from the keypad to the panel & 2 wires from the door to te keypad. I am able arm and disarm my alarm from both keypads, I get the chime from the doors when I open them so I know the connection is done properly, the alarm does go in as planned but if I try to do the enrollment I get a lost comm message. As mentioned above both keypad are termination to jp3 @ jp2 according to the model and no termination are on the board. Any idea why the lost comm message? Both keypads are connected directly to the Keypad section of the M1
