Keypad Arming

There are two methods for keypad arming:

Method 1: Press the "Arm" button on the remote control.

Method 2: Press 123456 + [Enter].

> Note: If a zone expander module is assigned to two or more keypads, the shared zone will only be armed when ALL keypads sharing that module are in armed state. Otherwise, that zone remains disarmed.

Keypad Disarming

There are two methods for keypad disarming:

Method 1: Press the "Disarm" button on the remote control.

Method 2: Press 123456 + [Exit].

Single Device Operation

(Including individual partition/zone arming/disarming, and turning relay/output devices on/off)

Step 1: Press 123456 + [Bypass] → The keypad displays "Enter device number":

Step 2: Enter the 6-digit device number:

• 1st digit: Communication port number
• Digits 2-4: Device number
• Last 2 digits: Zone number or output point on that device (see details below)

Step 3: Press [Enter] to arm or close the device; press [Exit] to disarm or disconnect. If the device is a host type, the system will prompt for the host password before the arm/disarm operation.

Example 1: If device 000 on communication port 1 is an alarm module:

• Input 100000 → Single partition arm/disarm for that module
• Input 100001 → Single zone arm/disarm for zone 1 of that module

Example 2: If device 060 on communication port 2 is an indicator light module:

• Input 206000 → Turn all indicators on/off
• Input 206015 → Turn indicator #15 on/off

AL-7480/E Typical Application Example

Assume the AL-7480/E is equipped with 10 single-zone address modules. Follow these steps:

1. Zone Address Module Programming: Set the address codes for the 10 modules as addresses 1 through 10 (refer to the "Address Code Setting Table" in the manual). Assume modules 1-5 are connected to the host's "Communication Port 1," and modules 6-10 are connected to "Communication Port 2."

2. Zone Address Module Wiring: Connect the 10 modules to the RS-485 bus from the "RS-485 Expander Board Bus Interface" of the AL-7480. Connect the module's green, yellow, and black wires to the corresponding green, yellow, and black terminals on the RS-485 expander (see Figure 1). Connect the module's red (+) and black (-) wires to the power supply positive and negative terminals. The zone module voltage range is DC 11-24V.

3. Host Programming: Press 123456 + [Function] → The display shows "Query" → Press [↓] to scroll down to "Partition Assignment" → The display shows "Master Keypad Partition" → Press [Enter] → The display shows "Device 1-0" → Press [↓] to find device 1-1 (Communication port 1, dial code 1). The display shows 0 (disabled). Press [Enter], then press 1 to enable the device. "Modified successfully" will be displayed. Repeat for 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, and 1-5 (set to 1 to enable, 0 to disable). Devices 6-10 are labeled 2-6, 2-7, 2-8, 2-9, 2-10 respectively. Configure them the same way.

4. Restart: Power cycle the host for the changes to take effect.

5. Check Module Online Status: Press 123456 + [Function] → The display shows:

→ Press [Enter] → Press [↓] to scroll to "RS485-1 Device Status" and "RS485-2 Device Status" (corresponding to communication port 1 and port 2 of the host). Check if modules 1-5 on port 1 and modules 6-10 on port 2 are online.

Stop Current Alarm: 123456 + [↓]

When the host or keypad is alarming, enter 123456 + [↓]. The siren on the keypad and host stops, and the keypad buzzer stops.

Clear Current Alarm Display: 123456 + [↑]

After an alarm, the keypad displays the alarm information. Enter 123456 + [↑] to clear all displayed alarm information.

Keypad Display Description

When there is no alarm, the keypad displays abnormal zones. When an alarm occurs, the keypad shows the alarm information until the next arming cycle, or until [Password] + [↑] clears the display. If multiple messages are active simultaneously, the keypad scrolls through them.

Remote Control Pairing with Keypad

Remote 1 Pairing:

1. Press and hold the [Function] icon for 3 seconds. The system prompts for a password.

2. Enter password: 123456.

3. Press and hold [↑*] for 3 seconds. The system prompts for a function code.

4. Remote 1: Enter 0101, then press 1. The display shows "Waiting for wireless trigger." Press the "Arm" button on the remote → This pairs Remote 1's arm function. Enter 0103, then press 1. The display shows "Waiting for wireless trigger." Press the "Disarm" button on the remote → This pairs Remote 1's disarm function.

Remote 2 Pairing:

1. Press and hold the [Function] icon for 3 seconds. The system prompts for a password.

2. Enter password: 123456.

3. Press and hold [↑*] for 3 seconds. The system prompts for a function code.

4. Remote 2: Enter 0201, then press 1. The display shows "Waiting for wireless trigger." Press the "Arm" button on the remote → Pairs Remote 2's arm function. Enter 0203, then press 1. The display shows "Waiting for wireless trigger." Press the "Disarm" button on the remote → Pairs Remote 2's disarm function.

Relay Output / Linkage Function

1. Linkage Output Device Number Description

The linkage output number is 6 digits:

• 1st digit: Communication port number (1-2)
• Digits 2-4: Dial code address of the linked device
• Last 2 digits: Output point number on the linked device (must be 01-16, cannot be 00)

Example: 206315 means communication port 2, device 063 (dial code 63), output point 15.

> Note: An input device with one alarm output has the output number Xxxx01, where the 1st digit is the communication port number, digits 2-4 (xxx) are the device number, and the last 2 digits represent the relay output.

2. Host Linkage Programming Operation

The 16-channel relay module AL-7016 defaults to dial code address 0 and can be connected to any communication port on the host. Open device 2-0 in partition assignment (when connected to communication port 2). In Device Settings → Device Properties, change device 2-0's property to 3. Power cycle the host.

① Configuring Zone Linkage Output via Programming

Press 123456 + [Function] → The display shows:

→ Press [↓] (down) →

→ Press [Enter] → The display shows:

→ Press [Enter] again. Use [↓]/[↑] to find the zone that needs linkage (or press [Function] and enter the zone address directly to jump) → Press [Enter] → Enter the desired linkage output number (refer to the Linkage Output Device Number Description above) → The system confirms "Modified successfully" → Press [Exit] to return. Repeat for other zones.

② Modifying Linkage Properties via Programming

Press 123456 + [Function] → The display shows:

→ Press [↓] (down) →

→ Press [Enter] → The display shows:

→ Press [Enter] again. Use [↓]/[↑] to find the zone whose linkage property needs modification (or press [Function] and enter the zone address directly to jump)

→ Press [Enter] → Change the linkage property to 3 → The system confirms "Modified successfully" → Press [Exit] to return. Repeat for other zones.
