The tamper circuit is in series. See bottom of page 5 for example

The tamper circuit is probably irrelevant to the immediate problem.

3 possibilities
i)Â*Â*Â* it's bypassed at the control box with a link
ii)Â*Â* it's wired in series with the existing (first) remote keypad
iii)Â* it's wired in parallel with the existing remote keypad

If the main control panel is not complaining about a missing keypad
then none of the above are causing the problem.

Ideally it should be wired as ii) but possibly not too important with
a remote keypad because in someone cuts the wires to a remote keypad
they still wouldn't have means to turn off the alarm from those (cut)
wires.


With, my Texecom alarm additional keypads are wired in parallel. Each
keypad has to have its own address.




The Accenta remote keypads are also wired in parallel (apart from anti
tamper which should be wired in series to work correctly).

There is no mention in the Gen3 or Gen4 engineers manuals about keypad
addresses and I don't remember on my Gen4 box having to set an address
for the remote keypad (Gen 3 and Gen 4 use the same remote keypads).
