Before You Install or Replace One

  • Confirm exact model number on the keypad label matches the install manual.
  • Verify host panel family — Keybus PowerSeries, Neo Corbus, MAXSYS Combus, and IMPASSA wireless are not interchangeable.
  • Plan unique keypad address or wireless enrollment — duplicates cause bus collisions or offline devices.
  • Check partition assignment (global vs partition keypad) for multi-partition sites.
  • Include keypad current draw in panel AUX / Corbus / battery standby calculations.

Troubleshooting

Start with host panel family, then keypad model, then bus vs wireless link.

Quick diagnostic flow

  1. Confirm keypad model matches NEO HS2LCD Install Manual.
  2. Verify host panel is on the supported list in compatible-peripherals.md.
  3. Check power: panel AC/battery healthy before blaming keypad.
  4. Read troubles at keypad with **[*, 2]** or trouble LED.
  5. Verify address / enrollment — wired: [013] Keybus or [902] Corbus; wireless: enroll window and transceiver online.
  6. Test with known-good user code on assigned partition.

Wiring / bus

  • Keybus: homerun, polarity, termination; one bad keypad can drag bus if shorted.
  • Corbus/Combus: homerun from panel module; check AUX/Corbus voltage under load.
  • Wireless: battery, range, antenna, transceiver supervision on panel first.

HS2LCD service

  • Enroll at [902] before running walk test from that keypad.
  • UL fire installs: confirm HS2LCD (non-icon) where listing requires — not HS2ICON.
  • Multi-partition: user must select partition on HS2LCD before arming area.

HS2LCD enrollment

  1. Assign unique Corbus address at [902].
  2. Set global vs partition keypad in programming.
  3. UL fire listed sites: use HS2LCD (non-icon) where required.

After keypad replacement

Re-assign address, partition visibility, and user PINs per manual — new keypad does not inherit old device programming automatically.
