    August 31, 2026 4 min read

    Installation instructions for the Napco Magnum RP1054e backlit digital display keypad, for use with Napco MA1000e, MA1008e, MA1010, and MA854 control panels.

    Full text manual (for reference)

    Installation instructions for the Napco RP1054e Keypad — a backlit alphanumeric keypad for use with Napco MA1000e, MA1008e, and MA1010 control panels, and as a replacement keypad for MA854, MA1008-series, and MA1010-series panels.

    Overview

    The RP1054e features a large 7-segment alphanumeric display for control-panel information and zone identification. Installation runs on only four wires. This manual covers installation only — refer to the accompanying User's Guide (OI160) for keypad functions/operation, and to the control panel's installation manual for panel mounting, wiring, and programming.

    Specifications

    Spec Value
    Operating Voltage 9.0–13.0Vdc (supplied by control panel)
    Current 40mA typical (subtract from panel's available standby current)
    Wiring Length 1 keypad: 1000ft max · 5 keypads: 300ft max (using #22AWG wire)
    Dimensions 4-3/8" x 5-7/8" x 1-1/16" (H x W x D)

    Mounting

    • Opening the keypad: insert a medium screwdriver into either of the two slots along the bottom edge (about 1 inch from each side) and push up with a slight twist to release the retainer tab. Repeat for the other slot, then pull out at the bottom and lift off the top hooks.
    • The keypad includes a pull-up reference label (required for UL installations) — install it by pushing the Sliding Label Plate down the guides at the rear until it snaps into place, before mounting to the wall.
    • When installing the rear case, ensure the words "UP" and "TOP" (molded into the case) are properly oriented.
    • Four angled elongated holes allow direct wall mounting with leveling adjustment. Four corner holes accommodate replacing an RP854 Keypad with RPB-1 Backplate for direct wall mounting.
    • For double-gang box installation: insert mounting screws through the two vertical elongated holes on the left side into the box, adjust vertically if visible from the front, then add one or two additional screws at the right side directly into the wall for a secure installation.

    Wiring

    Keypad Wire Color MA854 MA1000e/MA1008e MA1008 MA1010
    Yellow 1 9 5 6
    Green 2 10 6 7
    Red 3 7 3 3
    Black 4 8 4 4
    White (x2) To normally-open momentary-contact remote panic switch(es)

    Remote Panic: splice the two white wires to a normally-open momentary-contact pushbutton switch; additional panic buttons can be wired in parallel. If not used, insulate both white leads (a short across them triggers a panic alarm). In UL installations, remote panic buttons must be located in the same room as the keypad.

    Note: Be careful not to splash solder onto the keypad circuit board or components when soldering connections.

    Keypad Panics (F/P/A)

    The RP1054e supports Fire/Police/Auxiliary panics. Cut Jumper E to enable them. If enabled:

    • Fire Panic: press [9/F] and [#] simultaneously
    • Police Panic: press [*/P] and [#] simultaneously
    • Auxiliary Panic: press [B/A] and [#] simultaneously

    If used as a replacement keypad in MA854 or MA1008 systems (which lack F/A/P panic), or MA1010 systems without F/P/A panic, Jumper E must remain intact.

    Jumper Options

    • Jumper A — cut to disable all three keypad-panic features and the two white remote-panic wires.
    • Jumper B — cut to disable the sounder completely. Do not disable in UL installations.
    • Jumper C — cut to disable touchpad backlighting (conserves 15mA).
    • Jumper D — cut to reduce backlight intensity (conserves 6mA).
    • Jumper E — cut to enable F/P/A keypad panics.

    Backlighting requires no additional wiring; the keypad is dimly backlit by default.
