IMPORTANT
The device should be installed by qualified personnel. Read carefully this manual before proceeding to installation. Changes, modifications or repairs not authorized by the manufacturer shall void your rights under the warranty. The nameplate of the device is located on the enclosure base. SATEL aims to continually improve the quality of its products, which may result in changes in their technical specifications and software. Current information about the changes being introduced is available on our website. Please visit us at: https://support.satel.eu The VERSA-KWRL2 wireless keypad enables operation and programming of the VERSA, VERSA IP and VERSA Plus control panels with firmware version 1.09 (or newer). The device is designed for work within the ABAX 2 / ABAX two-way wireless system. This manual applies to the keypad with firmware version 3.00 (or newer), which is supported by:
- ABAX 2: ACU-220 / ACU-280 controller,
- ABAX: ACU-120 / ACU-270 controller (firmware version 5.04 or newer).
NOTE: The ABAX 2 / ABAX controller must be connected to the communication bus of the VERSA / VERSA IP / VERSA Plus alarm control panel. In the ACU-220 / ACU-280 controller, switch 9 must be set in OFF position, and switch 10 must be set in ON position. In the ACU-120 / ACU-270 controller, switch 8 must be set in ON position. The keypad is not supported by the ARU-100 and ARU-200 radio signal repeaters.

Description
Radio communication The keypad connects to the controller every 4 minutes to give information about its state (periodical communication). Additional communication takes place:
- when the keypad is in use,
- in the case of keypad tamper,
- when the controller is sending commands to the keypad (wake up and trigger CHIME signal).
Operating modes Wake-up – this mod is started by pressing any key. Additionally, the keypad can be woken up automatically when an alarm occurs or an entry delay or an exit delay begins (see description of the “Wake-up” parameter, section “Settings stored in ABAX 2 / ABAX controller” p. 6). When the keypad is in the wake-up mode, it works in much the same way as the wired LCD keypad. The display is on. Backlight, LED indication and sound signaling are enabled. Sleep – the mode is entered:
- after 20 seconds since the last key press,
- after preset time, if the keypad has been woken up automatically (see description of the “Wake-up” parameter, section “Settings stored in ABAX 2 / ABAX controller” p. 6).
The purpose of this mode is to save energy. The display is off. Backlight, LED indication and sound signaling are disabled (if a time different from 0 is preset for the „Wake-up” parameter, CHIME from zones will be signaled). Support for proximity cards The built-in proximity card reader enables the system to be operated by using proximity cards (any 125 kHz passive transponder in the form of a card, tag, etc.). If the alarm system is not to be operated by using the proximity cards, the reader can be disabled (thus reducing the battery consumption). Battery status control If the voltage of any battery is lower than 2.75 V:
- low battery information is sent during periodical communication,
- after the keypad wake-up, a low battery message is displayed (the message will specify which battery is to be replaced – the battery designation can be found on the electronics board, after opening the enclosure).
Installation
CAUTION: There is a danger of battery explosion when using a different battery than recommended by the manufacturer, or handling the battery improperly. Be particularly careful during installation and replacement of the batteries. The manufacturer is not liable for the consequences of incorrect installation of the battery. The used batteries must not be discarded but should be disposed of in accordance with the existing rules for environmental protection. The keypad is designed for indoor installation. The place of installation should be readily accessible to the system users. When selecting the installation location, take into account the communication range of the ABAX 2 / ABAX system.
- Open the keypad enclosure (Fig. 2). The enclosure opening tool, shown in the illustration, is included in the keypad delivery set.
- Install the batteries and add the keypad to the wireless system (see “Adding the keypad to the wireless system”).
- Put the cover on the catches and snap the enclosure shut.
- Place the keypad in the location intended for its installation.
- Check the level of signal received from the keypad by the ABAX 2 / ABAX controller. If the signal level is lower than 40%, select another place for installation. Sometimes, it is sufficient to shift the device ten or twenty centimeters to obtain a considerable improvement in the signal quality. Only after the optimal level of radio signal is achieved can you proceed to the next step.
