Viewing Zone Descriptors
The Alpha Keypads can display all programmed descriptors, which is useful
to the installer when checking entries, and can be helpful to the user when
there is a need to identify zones. To display descriptors, the system must
be disarmed and ready to arm. Press and hold the READY key until the
built-in instructions for that key appear, then release the key. The zone
descriptors will appear one at a time, for about 2-3 seconds each. For faster
viewing, press the READY key to display the next descriptor in numerical
order and so on. When all descriptors have been displayed, the control will
exit display mode. To exit display mode before all descriptors have been
displayed, enter the security code and press the OFF key.
Viewing Downloaded Messages
Users may occasionally receive a message from their installation company
displayed on an alpha keypad. When this occurs, the keypad will display
"Message. Press 0 for 5 secs.". Instruct the user to press and hold the 0 key
to display the central station's message. Note that the system must be in
the READY state to view these messages.
Using The Built-In User's Manual
An abbreviated User's Manual is stored in the system's memory, and can be
particularly useful to the end user if the printed User's Manual is not
conveniently accessible when the user needs to perform a seldom used and
unfamiliar system procedure. The Built-in User's Guide is displayed by
simply pressing any of the function keys (e.g., OFF, AWAY, STAY,
MAXIMUM, BYPASS, INSTANT, CODE, TEST, READY, #, and CHIME)
for approximately 5 seconds and then releasing it. Abbreviated instructions
relative to the key that has been pressed will then be displayed (2 lines of
text are displayed at a time). This function operates in either the armed or
the disarmed state.
Panic Keys
There are three panic key pairs (shown below) that, if programmed, can be
used to manually initiate alarms and send a report to the central station.
Each key pair can be individually programmed for 24 Hour Silent, Audible
or Auxiliary (Emergency) responses, as well as Fire. The panic function is
activated when the appropriate key pair is pressed at the same time.
The panic functions are identified by the system as follows:
PANIC
Displayed as Zone
✴
1
995
# 3
996
✴
#
999
For alpha keypads, these panic keys
can also be programmed with an alpha
descriptor.
For the Panic functions to be of practical value, the system must be
connected to a central station.
Speed Key [D] (Macros)
The "D" key can be used to activate a string of up to 16 keystrokes. These
keystrokes are known as a macro and are stored in the system's memory.
Each partition may have its own macro. Typical Speed Key functions
include:
• Arming sequences that involve first bypassing certain zones before
arming.
• Seldom used but repeatable sequences.
• Relay activation sequences.
To program a macro, enter your user code + [#] + [D]. The following appears:
