Installation manual

Last updating 28th of August 2025

Idea is a wireless touch keypad that allows managing the D’AVINCI system. It is designed for use in internal and  external non-burdensome environments, it allows you to perform operations such as arming/disarming, commands and scenarios. Through the indicator light, it provides guidance on the status of the installation.
The keypad manages security modes using access codes, cards or key rings equipped with a 125kHz transponder.
Idea supports the function of «silent alarm» when entering a coercion code.

Idea works within the D’AVINCI system with a range up to 1000 meters (in free space) connecting, via radio, directly to the Control Panel Lisa or via Automa repeater. The communication is  bidirectional type (transmission/reception) with the indication of confirmation of receipt and command.
In case of obstacles such as walls, objects, etc. the range rate is reduced.
The communication protocol, like the connections between all system components, is GENIO,  cryptographic type and protected from interceptions.

The keypad is capable of:

• arm control panel (or system) – by pressing the button;
• arm the control panel (or system) into Stay mode– by pressing the button;
• disarm the control panel (or system) – by pressing the button;
• activate an alarm/rescue, actuator or scenario – by pressing the button

You can control security and home automation functions with the keypad Idea using:

• Codes: The keypad supports general codes or personal codes for users registered with the D’AVINCI system.
• Cards or keychains:  It can connect Tag keychains and ISO cards at 125 kHz equipped with encryption.

To add a device to the control panel, in the D’AVINCI app  ¹

1. Select the Tab Device ²  
2.  Click on Add Device 
3.  Name the device
4. Insert the serial number of the device shown on the label  or click on icon  to scan the code via the app
5. Select the associated Room for the device

7. Remove the tab from the battery, so as to Power the device (see installation phase of the device). 

^{The detector led will emit a flashing light when it is switched on.}

^{When paired with the control panel, the detector will appear in the list of devices in the D’AVINCI App .} 

^{Subsequently it will be necessary to close the tamper, positioning the keyboard on your bracket, to allow you to carry out the calibration phase of the touch part of the keyboard.}

The connection request to the Control Panel is transmitted for a short period of time as soon as the device is switched on.

If the connection to the D’AVINCI control panel fails, turn off the detector for 5 seconds and repeat the procedure.

¹ Installer privileges are required.

² To start the configuration procedure, the device must be within the radio communication zone of the associated Control Panel.

Make sure you have selected the ideal installation location based on the guidelines contained in this manual.
The place of installation of the keyboard influences the connection with the control panel and any obstacles between the devices can block the transmission of the radio signal. Such obstacles can be walls, floors or large objects.

To install the keypad:

Attach the bracket to the wall through the four screws supplied, screw in making sure not to deform the bracket.

Attention! The deformation of the bracket compromises the correct functioning of the anti-tamper  tamper.

The idea keypad supports the following types of codes.

– Login Keypad Code: set for users not registered in the system. If used, events generated by that code will be marked with the associated name.

– User code: personal code of users connected to the control panel. When used, events are sent to the D’AVINCI app with the user name.

Function key

Idea has a pulsed function that operates in the following modes:

• None: pulsing is disabled.
• Command activation: allows you to activate a command.
• Scenario activation: allows you to activate a scenario.
• Antipanic: allows you to activate a rescue alarm (e.g. robbery).

Coercion code

Idea supports the coercion code. Allows you to simulate disarming the system. If engaged, the sirens associated with the system will not signal the alarm, while other users of the system and possibly the supervisory institution connected to the exchange will be warned.

Keypad settings can be changed in the D’AVINCI app (Installer privileges required):
