DLS 2002 not "seeing" LCD5500Z keypad

Try assigning it to slot 8 instead of slot 1

Slot 8 should fix it, The downloader only goes to keypad 8 for some reason.

DSC has a hard time with addons. Most of the time when I add one zone expander it thinks there are two. Trying to get it to notice that you have switched or removed keypads is almost impossible. Try this. Remove the keypad from the panel and remove the account from the software. Open a new account called test or domething and dial up the panel and let it identify it. Then it will search for modules and it won't find any. Hook up the keypad and change the account number in the panel. Add a new test account in the software and dial it up again and let it identify the panel and search for modules and see if it finds it this time. Hopefully that will do it.

Thanks - I was actually just about to do that before I posted - guess I got a little trigger happy on the post button.

I didn't find anything in the documentation about it having to be in slot 8, although it does suggest the default is slot 8 for Z keypads. I must say the documentation doesn't always live up to my expectations of what it could be, and hasn't seemed to have been improved much over the years.

Thanks again to those that took the time to respond, it was much appreciated.

Page 30 in the v2 manual under DOWNLOADING in nice big bold letters, couldn't be more clear

It's in the documentation as has been pointed out. Note also that additional keypads must be assigned to different slots if you want them supervised and if you want them to appear on the schematic in DLS 2002. You _must_ assign the partition/slot for each additional keypad at that keypad. It cannot be done by downloading.
