MKP1, MKP2 & MKP3 Keypad

Installation Instructions

Introduction

The MKP keypads are designed to work with M-Series 

alarm panels. The MKP1 and MKP3 have proximity tag 

reader coils fitted inside their cases. The MKP2 has no 

reader coil fitted. The MKP3 can also be wired to an AX10 

external proximity tag reader.
All keypads have a two-line 20-character LCD, which 

shows options, system status and alarm information.

Installation

To install the keypad:
1.  Ensure that all power (mains and battery) is removed 

from the control panel.

2.  If fitted, remove the two screws located under the flip-

down lid.

3.  Separate the cover and back plate of the keypad by 

twisting a small flat-blade screwdriver into one of the 

two slots along the top edge. Repeat for the other 

slot, then remove the cover.

4.  Mount the keypad using M4/M3.5 screws. Mounting 

and cable holes on the back plate are shown in Figure 

1.

5.  Connect all required wiring, as shown overleaf.

6.  Use the links to set the address of the keypad and to 

make any changes to standard operation.

7.  Clip the cover onto the base and refix the screws, if 

used.

Note: The power LED is operated by the control unit 

and may not be permanently lit. The control unit 

shows a mains fail condition as an alert on the display. 

Siting an MKP1

The MKP1 and MKP3 keypads contain a coil that detects 

proximity tags employed by the user to set and unset the 

system. The coil works at a low radio frequency and has a 

spherical detection area, which extends for approximately 

120mm from the keypad. Proximity tags can be detected 

through wood, brick, plaster, glass and plastic.
Excessive interference with external devices may prevent 

the coil reading the tags. Follow these simple guidelines to 

prevent interference:

  Avoid mounting the keypads near magnetic devices, 

such as motors, door releases, entry phones, loud-

speakers and PA systems. 

  Avoid microwave devices such as ovens or detectors.

  Avoid mounting the keypad near large metal struc-

tures. Do not screw the keypad to a metal frame.

  Do not mount two readers back to back, even if there 

is a wall between them. This also applies to the AX10 

reader: do not mount the MKP3 back to back with the 

AX10.

  Warn users that holding a mobile phone in the same 

hand as a tag may seriously affect the ability of the coil 

to detect the tag.

If you are in doubt, test the operation of the keypad before 

finally fixing it in position.
