The Tecom TS1162 is a 3-LED Remote Arming Station (RAS) keypad designed for use with Challenger security systems. It features a robust IP67-rated housing, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation in dusty or wet environments. Installation Guide for Tecom TS1162 1. Preparation and Safety
Power Off: Ensure all power is disconnected from the Challenger panel or Intelligent Access Controller before starting any wiring to prevent damage.
Unpack: Verify the device for any physical damage and ensure all mounting hardware is present.
Location Selection: Choose a flat, vertical surface for mounting to prevent the base from flexing when tightened. 2. Mounting the Base
Disassemble: Remove the two retaining screws from the bottom of the keypad body and pull the bottom away from the base to disengage the top tabs.
Template: Use the base as a template to mark screw holes and the rear cable entry point (if using rear entry).
Secure: Use appropriate screws or bolts to mount the base to the surface. Ensure the tamper lever will be properly depressed against the surface when mounted to avoid constant tamper alarms. 3. Addressing and Configuration
Before completing the installation, you must set the device's unique address and termination on the internal DIP switches:
Device Address: Use DIP switches 1 through 4 to set the RAS address required for the Challenger system.
LAN Termination: If this keypad is the last device on the RS-485 LAN run, set DIP switch 8 to the "On" position to terminate the line. 4. Wiring and Termination
LAN Connection: Connect the keypad to the Challenger RS-485 LAN (up to 1.5 km away) using standard security cabling. ts1162 installation manual
Request to Exit (RTE): Use the dedicated input for RTE control if required for the door.
Door Control: The open collector output can be used to drive a door relay or door strike.
Cable Routing: Avoid wire loops inside the enclosure and ensure cables do not lie directly on the circuit board. 5. Final Assembly
Hook Body: Place the top of the keypad body onto the mounting tabs of the base.
Secure: Swing the bottom into place and replace the two retaining screws at the bottom to lock the assembly. Maintenance Tips
Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. Avoid water, ketones, or aromatic solvents.
Protection: Do not use sharp objects on the keypad surface; use fingers or gloved hands only.

Installation Steps for Tecom TS1162 Keypad
Based on standard procedures for Tecom RAS units, follow these steps to install the device: The Tecom TS1162 is a 3-LED Remote Arming
Disassemble the Unit: Remove the body retaining screws from the base and pull the body away to disengage the top tabs.
Prepare the Mounting Surface: Use the provided mounting template to locate screw holes and the rear cable entry point. Ensure the surface is flat and vertical to prevent the base from warping.
Mount the Base: Secure the base assembly to the surface using suitable screws or bolts. Ensure the tamper lever will be properly depressed once mounted.
Set Hardware Addresses: Use DIP switches 1 through 4 to set the unique RAS address. If this is the last device on the LAN, set the LAN termination using DIP switch 8. Wiring and Termination:
Power Off: Turn off all power to the Challenger panel before wiring.
Connection: Connect the keypad directly to the Challenger RS-485 LAN (D+ and D- terminals).
Distance: The unit can be located up to 1.5 km from the main panel. Resistors: A
LAN termination resistor is typically required for proper impedance.
Reassemble: Hook the top of the keypad body onto the base tabs, swing the bottom into place, and secure it with the retaining screws. Reference Manuals

After completing the TS1162 installation manual steps, run a test:
If all functions work, the installation is successful.
The screen will show “TS1162 – Initializing”. After 20 sec, a beep indicates ready.
If screen shows “ERR: NO PROBE”: Check RJ45 connector on bottom.
The process is broken down into three main phases: Mounting, Wiring, and Finishing.
