  1. Thanks for replying. I'm not quite sure what you mean in your second paragraph. I won't be leaving a faulty (or unsuitable) keypad installed, risking the security of the building if that's what you mean. I would imagine it'll either work or not. The equipment is ours and we wanted the company to replace the keypad, they couldn't source one but I can, they will fit it but not support it. I think all I'm asking is if it's a simple job to swap a keypad over? i.e. do these keypads generally need programming to the system, or do they just need the correct address? To answer your question, yes it's a monitored system so someone gets a phone call
  2. Hi hope someone can help. I manage a building with a TS900 panel and the LCD remote keypad is starting to become a bit temperamental on some of the buttons. I contacted our alarm company and they say the keypad is obsolete now and they have quoted for a new system. We're a charity and money is tight so I did a bit of research and found this keypad: Menvier MKP 3 LCD Keypad (prox) Our alarm company confirmed that this would work and they can fit it for us although understandably they can't offer us any further support on it warranty-wise. Then I started looking on ebay to save more money and wondered if this would work?: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171813321324 This one appears to have a proximity sensor module built in. Will that work with our TS900 panel. We don't currently have that option on our LCD remote keypad so perhaps this feature needs a newer panel? I tried opening the keypad to clean out the rubber key membrane but even with the engineers code (engineer on site displayed on the LCD panel), the tamper switch set the alarm off. Any ideas? And how easy is it to swap a keypad over? Is it just a question of matching the dip switches to set the address of the old keypad and replacing the wires? I imagine I'll just leave the job to our alarm company but I'm interested to know anyway! Thanks in advance
