Re: Gemini P3200 and RP1CAe2 keypad

[Michelle <newsgrps_REMOVE_@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The version I see.. on the sticker beside the master security code says
v30B. The panel and keypads are all new. I noted this problem with the
stuff just sitting on a table and temporarily connecting a keypad and
the power, and using the PCI-mini to program. I can just return it, but
I wanted to ensure it wasn't something I did... although from all the
P3200's.. I've done, I've never seen this.

Thanks :)
