omega1 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hi I need to fit two keypads to a eurosec cp8 panel. It looks like the keypads have to be wired in series according to the manual. Is this correct or can both the keypads be wired directly from the panel with the 680 ohm resistor fitted on both keypads. Thanks in advance Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Kevin thats why its in the manual that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperMK2 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 They are actually wired in parallel so wiring them both from the panel is ok but remove the resistor on the shortest run RKP, leave the resistor in the longest run RKP As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless, uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest anguscanplay Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Look, parallel yes and no LOL - its series because it goes to one then the other, but its parallel to the first connection LOL ( if only you knew how often me and " some friends" have the same argument) I always bring the D1 D2 back to the panel on a spare pair then take them out to the second keypad - hang over from the old days I suppose what I`m trying to work out is doing it your way ie pure parallel - is hows the keypad without the resistor tampered? you dont give it a keypad ident like the CPX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it works in star or daisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
