How to install a burglar alarm remote keypad | Accenta +

This video shows how to wire two Accenta + Remote keypads to a Honeywell ADE Gen 4 alarm panel. One RKP is installed in a nearby office and the other RKP is installed in the Garage. Up to 4 RKP's can be installed to control the Honeywell ADE Gen 4 alarm. Brought to you by www.ultimatehan...

Give u a tip from an old alarm engineer it's easier to terminate your tampers in a terminal block and label each circuit with a bit of white insulation tape , most common faults are tampers on a system , if you have a tamper fault disconnect the two wires and meter them to see if you got a short or tamper switch open , if you havnt got time or a meter to hand put a staple or wire link between where you removed the wires to get your system up and running because some systems won't arm set or just let the internal and external bells blare hope this helps

[@ultimatehandyman]

Thanks for the tip ;-)

[@robsplaylisterchannel2794]

Thank you so much for your video as all I needed to know was whether there was mains power coming directly into the remote keypad as the alarm kept sounded from a tamper. It turns out that the tamper switch was not resting on a flat surface and was on a gap in back panel (I have no idea how long) so kept setting off alarm tamper. Now solid base and fixed.

I’ve just bought a panel and keypad and I’m preparing the wiring simply explained thank you

[@ultimatehandyman]

Glad it helped

[@robsplaylisterchannel2794]

In the remote keypad it has 0v (zero volt) terminal. Is that the same as Volt Free connection, and therefore is it possible to connect a device to it that allows for remote notification? I have access to the device, I am just hoping it will connect to the the alarm terminal with it being a few years old now. Thanks

Impressive little series for the burglar alarm.

Thanks, I'm still editing the rest of the videos ;-) Thanks for the comment

Top video and i like the way you are answering peoples questions, you are a credit to KZbin 🙂

[@ultimatehandyman]

I try to answer all comments. Thanks for the comment ! 😃

[@Johnwenn1]

Excellent clear video. Well done. I've just replaced my veritas key pad with like for like and now there is nothing at the key pad. Does this mean that I have to do something inside the main alarm box or have I broken it ?

[@ultimatehandyman]

In the main panel there are some glass fuses, one of those might have blown. You can check them using a multi-meter. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZqteWSinMZ7qLs&t Thanks for the comment 👍

[@alfiewoolard2598]

For the tamper, could you use wire nuts instead of taping them?

[@ultimatehandyman]

Chem_Boffin6589 I'm not familiar with wire nuts, but they are bulky aren't they? I normally solder the wires together to be honest as that gives a very small joint as there is not much spare room in the panel. I then wrap the soldered joint with insulation tape.

[@alfiewoolard2598]

***** Ok, thanks for the comment!

[@kierenhudson1910]

+Ultimate_Handyman can you list the order of your videos for the gen4 system please? Thank you. Also im having trouble programming the keypad, it has different simbles to yours but its the accenta+ (no display) Thanks Again

Hi, I think that you would be better to use a through crimp or 5 amp connector for the tamper wire. Other than that great video.

[@ultimatehandyman]

You can do, but the problem is that they are bulky. If you have all 8 zones used the tamper loop gets quite large, so you could end up with 8 or more connectors. Thanks for the comment ;-)

[@madmarkuk1]

I'm looking at installing a honeywell accents g4 in new house it says it comes with 8 zones. can I install two of the digital keypads or does one have to be an analogue one. also if your installing window sensors and two windows together in one frame would you wire both to one zone or would they need to be seperate?????

[@ultimatehandyman]

As far as I can remember you can wire up to 4 digital keypads. You can wire the window sensors to two separate zones or a single zone if you like, if wiring more than one sensor on the one zone ensure you wire the sensors in series (not parallel).

[@ShaneCol3y]

Hi ultimate handyman, im installing the exact same system, its the honeywell accenta gen 4 mini isnt it, is it ok to mount the keypad in an outdoor location like you have, i wouldnt have thought they were weatherproof please reply as im eager to find out, many thanks :)

[@ultimatehandyman]

Hi, mine is in a garage which is completely dry and weather proof. I have had a similar alarm installed in my other garage for over 20 years with zero problems. They need to be installed internally in a dry location ;-) Good luck with the install

[@calumr2051]

how did you hide the alarm cable at the door?. did you take out some of the mortar joint then run it up that trunking?. thanks

[@ultimatehandyman]

+CalumR 20 I just drilled into the cavity behind the block, then fed the wire through the hole and looped a piece of plastic around the cable, so that I could pull it up into the loft.

[@mrsecurity]

if i was to wire 5 pirs on the same zone, would i do series or parallel?

[@ultimatehandyman]

The tamper and zone circuits need to be wired in series. I normally wire the +12v and -12v in parallel. Thanks for the comment

[@evanhindmarsh3120]

I have a faulty keypad at the front door, can i just order a new one take off the old wore up the new and have it working wothout touching the maim panel which is located in the loft. Cheers

[@ultimatehandyman]

Not sure, the main panel might alarm when you remove the keypad, also if you touch any of the wires together you might blow a fuse.

[@Musicalbluewolf666]

in what format would you go about wiring alarm

[@ultimatehandyman]

Not sure what you mean?

[@Musicalbluewolf666]

@@ultimatehandyman would you connect the alarm to mains first and then connect keypad etc

[@trangia777]

i need to move the keypad how do i stop it going odd when i unscrew from wall.

[@ultimatehandyman]

If you put the alarm into engineering mode, the alarm will not sound when you open the panel. Thanks for the comment

[@lennonpolo]

Great video chez, always enjoy them! What's RKP @2:56? Did you mean RCP?

[@ultimatehandyman]

Thanks ;-) RKP is Remote Key Pad (I originally was going to install just one, then decided to fit 2 of them) Thanks for the comment

[@BMcKenna]

No rkp is right it stands for Remote Key Pad :D

[@NickPower]

You didn't make it clear that you have to twist together one yellow or green from each cable for the tamper. Some people who aren't sure might twist the yellow & green from the same cable only making 1 of the tamper circuits work in only 1 keypad.

[@ultimatehandyman]

I made it very clear- kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4bCn2Zuptd9osk

[@jasser61]

You did indeed make it very clear. A silly question I know but just to be 100% sure, if only installing one keypad, I assume the yellow and green wires occupy the two tamper terminals on the control panel to mirror the terminals on the keypad?

[@ultimatehandyman]

Yes, that's correct. If just using one keypad just put one tamper wire in each terminal at the panel and the keypad. Thanks for the comment

[@عليالخضيري-ع7ك]

Which alarm panel is that ?

[@ultimatehandyman]

Honeywell ADE Gen 4

[@robertnaylor8240]

Hi love what what you're doing helping people with their DIY my son has just replaced a honeywell accenta alarm system as old packed in. But he has never fitted a burglar alarm unit last weekend with an LCD and 1 LED keypads 1 up stairs an 1 downstairs. An alarm works brilliantly.. but I'd prefer to have two external sounders 1 at back of the house an one at the front of the house. But he's confused on how to do this can please advise him on doing this as he is confused on how wire then into the alarm panel have Done an videos on this for him to follow as this would be a great help to him an make are home feel much safer an we would be so grateful it you could help him by doing such a video.. kind regards

[@ultimatehandyman]

@@robertnaylor8240 Basically, you just double up on all the connections, so wire the first bell box, then do exactly the same with the second bell box, just wire the wires into the same terminals 😉 I'm afraid I don't have time to make a video on how to do it

[@robertnaylor8240]

Hi my name Danny am Robs son so it's the as I did with the two key pads.. but I just put them in together to the siren panel on the board an just loo the tamper wires into temper would that be right. Thanks for the quick reply must appreciated your doing a very good thing with the videos sometimes it's better to watch an lean. Rather then read books on some things for it sinks in better carry on with the videos your helping so many people. Take care Robbie an Danny King regards

[@haimansadik8969]

Great man very good video very clear .....thank you very much ....I learn from this man how to install the alarm....I can install now ...and I Mike money now ....thank you very much .....great man very good videos

[@freerunner7029]

thanks for video.

[@danshipstone223]

We got one of them in the workshop and after 7-10 mins it sets on fire !!!!!!!!!

[@ultimatehandyman]

+Dan Shipstone I'm surprised at that. Honeywell normally make very good quality gear.I'm sure that I have installed about 5 or 6 of these over the years with no problems.

[@danshipstone223]

Well this is what we were told when it was fitted by swat security as they get that hot!
