Re: Problem enrolling Receiver section of RF5501-433NA Keypad

["R.H.Campbell" <rh.campbell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I think there is at least one problem I can identify. If using the
keypad with the integrated wireless receiver, I have found that you must
designate the keypad as 18 in keypad programming (or something other than
0X). If you leave it as global (0) rather than designating it as Partition
1, it will actually shut down after a few minutes, and can only be brought
back to life by holding the 1 key down (re-selecting Partition 1). I think
you may find that will solve your problem, and allow you to see the wireless
receiver when you 902 / 903 the panel. I had much the same problem the other
day...

Also remember, if you designate the keypad as 18 for example, you must put
the keypad zone in the right spot in the keypad programming designation
section (020) I believe. Also, you may not see the 17 designation for the
wireless receiver until you actually program at least one of the wireless
devices into Section 804...
