User’s Guide

INTRODUCTION

KF-235 PG2 is a PowerG keyfob, for use with the PowerMaster panels.
Commands are invoked by pressing any of the four command buttons. Status is indicated via the Status LEDs and buzzer after every command

INSTALLATION

Enrollment

Refer to the PowerMaster panel’s Installer Guide and follow the procedure under the “02:ZONES/DEVICES” option of the Installer Menu.

Configuring the New Keyfob Template

Enter the DEVICE SETTINGS menu and follow the configuration instructions for the KF-235 PG2 keyfob as described in the following table.

Options: Arm instant (default); Not Used; Status, Stop Beeps, Skip exit delay, and PGM*.
Not Used: No function assigned to the AUX button.
Status: Control panel displays and announces the system status.
Stop Beeps: The control panel and other devices in the system stop beeping (for example during exit or entry delays).
Skip exit delay: Immediately stops the exit delay and causes the system to arm.
PGM: Activates the PGM output.
Arm instant: While exit delay is in progress, this will cause the system to arm instant – (the entry delay is canceled).

• For UL Listed products, it is not permitted to enable either Stop Beeps or PGM.
  ** Applicable only to control panels that support the voice option.

USING THE KEYFOB

Keyfob Functionality

“ For UL Listed product, “PANIC” is for Ancillary Use only.

Keyfob Response

When executing a command, the keyfob’s Transmission LED blinks red once to indicate transmission of the command to the control panel. If the operation is successfully completed, the green LED lights momentarily and a “happy tune” is heard. If the operation fails or cannot be completed, for example, when the system is “not ready”, the red LED lights steadily and a “sad tune” is heard. When executing a command and there is a communication failure between the keyfob device and the control panel, the keyfob’s Transmission LED remains off and no tune is heard.

Primary LED and Buzzer Response to Keyfob Commands

Momentary GREEN
Fail: Operation failed| Sad (failure) beep| Momentary RED
No communication: For example, the control panel is out of range.| None| None
Keyfob low battery:

Note: If the transmission is still possible despite the battery condition, the unit will send a low battery signal to the control panel.

| Depends on the operation that is performed| Blinks yellow 2 sec.
Trouble in the system:| Depends on the operation that is performed| Lights yellow 2 sec.

When forced arming (bypass zones) is performed, the keyfob buzzer “protests” by emitting a continuous tone during the exit de lay for 5 seconds (for more details, see the PowerMaster Installer Guide, section 5.5.2).
Arming LED indication
When executing a command using the keyfob device, the status of the control panel is indicated by the status LEDs that light blue.

Installer mode, Sync mode or when the system is otherwise reachable but unavailable| AWAY, HOME, DISARM all blink twice, wait, then blink twice again

MAINTENANCE

Replacing the Battery

When the keyfob device stops operating due to low battery and until the time the battery is completely depleted, all LEDs will light blue.
A replacement 3V battery, VARTA CR-2032, is available from hardware and electrical supply stores. Replace the battery as shown in Figure 2.
Caution! The battery may explode if replaced by an incorrect type or if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of the battery in fire.

Cleaning

Clean the keyfob only with a soft cloth or sponge moistened lightly with a mixture of water and mild detergent, and wipe it dry immediately.
The use of abrasives of any kind is strictly forbidden. Also never use solvents such as kerosene, acetone or thinner.

Periodic Test

Wireless equipment should be tested regularly to determine whether there are sources of interference and to protect against faults.
Refer to the PowerMaster Installer Guide, Chapter 6 Periodic Test, for instructions on how to conduct a periodic test.
