My low battery alarm was going off, and never looking inside my system box, I didn't know where the battery was, so (at 3 a.m) I ripped the keypad off the wall, and pull the wires out (don't mess with me when I'm asleep). The system isn't monitored, so no big issue there.

Now I've found the battery, replaced it, and need to rewire the keypad. But alas, I can't find a schematic showing where the wires go (black, red, green,yellow). Also, do I need to reprogram the system now? Please help!

If you have the keypad with the screw terminals, they are marked Y B R G for the correct wire colors, if you have the keypad with the quick connect, you just plug the thing back in. If you have the keypad with the permanent flying leads, and you ripped them out of the PC board for the keypad, just order another keypad.

The terminals aren't YBGR, but rather DI, +, -, DO. I'm guessing black is - and red is +, but not sure which is DI and DO

If the siren was going off, I'd grad my .44 and head off in search of the culprit.
