There are 2 types of FPD-7024 panels. It must first be determined which is in use before selecting the B450 address:
Newer types with firmware version 1.06 and higher. These types are identified by icons on the keypad instead of words (see figure 2).
Older types with firmware version 1.03 and lower. These types are identified by words on the keypad.
