swapping out a keypad? Ziggy 02-11-2007

I have a Gemini 816 series panel with two keypads model RP1CAe2. One
keypad, the main one we use when entering and leaving the house is not
working properly, it seems that when we press numbers on the keypad it
does not recognize them or I have to press it a few times before it
works. I assume after time the keypad becomes worn out?

How do I change it, do I just buy a new one and replace it or are
there other steps that I need to do first?

Thanks in advance

Steven

Just one keypad? Any expansion zones used on it?

If no and no then yes unless a keypad compatibility number has been set.

If no and yes, yes and no, or yes and yes then some keypad setup of the
keypad may be required. Also if a keypad compatibility number has been set
then setup will be required.

Ask the party selling you the keypad to step you through it and you should
be able to handle it.

Also, if you do reach the point that you are changing the keypad, make
sure that you use the same series. If you have the "K" serries,
keypads, you have to replace the bad keypad with a "K" series keypad.
Or, the original series kepad with an original. You can tell the
difference in that the old series has an ON/OFF button and the K
series has an ENTER button.

Thanks for the info. Does this keypad have this happen often that
after a few years of use they keys no longer work?

with bad keys.
