Veritas 8 Replacement keypad

[andytw]

I bought a replacement keypad for my main Veritas 8 panel but turns out I bought a keypad for the remote. Looks the same but the flexible connector is too short, making fitting impossible. I do not see keypads for the main panel for sale. Are they available ?

Your existing keypad is the old solid type and the new keypad you have is the replacement rubber keypad style.
That keypad membrane is for a remote keypad
What's the problem with old keypad ?
You could install a remote keypad at the side of your existing control or you need to change the panel

Are you sure jo ? They both look like rubber mats ! I think secureiam sells the mats on eBay that come with "both " short and long ribbon connectors

Well they look the same to me except for the length of the flexible connector.
Dont want to add another remote alongside.
Full and Part buttons started to work intermittentlly. I presumed the keypad had a crack in it. Maybe just a clean and re-seat of the connector will have sorted it.

Are the strips on the ribbon tarnished ? If so clean with rough paper towel

Yes, black. I polished them up with a fibreglass brush.

there are two membranes sw22 sw24, rsome replacement button kits dca0015 only contain the one membrane, I do sell these on ebay from time to time with bothe membranes included.

Since cleaning the old membrane contacts it has been fine BUT I contacted the eBay seller and he sent me the correct membrane for the full size panel. I fitted it today.
