Hi,

Have you read the installation manual? Thats your first port of call.

If you still need help, here's a step-by-step guide of what to do :
1) Power down the panel
2) Disconnect the Battery (Remove 1 terminal only)
3) Connect Keypad (Keybus) to panel - 4 wires : Red, Black, Yellow, Green
4) Re-connect Battery
5) Power up the panel
6) Assign Keypad
7) Enable Supervision

Voila!

Note! Points 6 and 7 require some programming. I suggest get the programming manual as well. (Same website above). From my own (limited) experience, wiring is really the "easy" part. The programming is much more intensive, but once you've read the manual it's pretty straight forward.

Lemme know how it goes. Good Luck!

Any changes to programming require the "installer" code. When you get the installation manual.......it will list the default code. Usually.......that code has been changed.

If whomever installed and setup the alarm enabled "installer lockout" the alarm panel cannot be defaulted to factory settings.

Power down the panel by removing AC and disconnecting the battery. Have help if the AC transformer is not close by. You will need to connect the battery leads and plug in the transformer ASAP.....listen to the panel and it makes 8 or 10 chattering sounds (loud clicks). It has been "locked out" and is only good for a boat anchor.
