Hi, I have a Scantronic 9651 fitted to my house and at the moment it is setup so the keypad backlight only comes on when a button is pressed. I want to change this so that the backlight is on all the time.

From the installer manual i can see that this is achieved by fitting a jumper across the 'BACKLIGHT ON' pins. However, it doesn't make it clear whether this needs to be done within the control box, or inside the keypad itself. Does anyone know?

Also, what issues am i likely to run into if i take the cover off the control panel and/or keypad to do this?

Any advise appreciated.

Pins are on the back of the keypad.

if you know the engineer code, no problem, enter code, open keypad, fit link, shut keypad, exit installer mode.

if you dont know eng code you proberbly wont be able to reset after opening keypad, as this is a default setting (ie eng reset required) & most firms/engineers dont change it.
