ABOUT THE TOUCHPADS
General
Your touchpads allow you to control all system functions. The touchpads feature a
telephone style (digital) touchpad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the
nature and location of all occurrences.
The touchpads feature a built-in sounder which emits alarm sounds during alarm and
trouble conditions, and produces warning tones during entry and exit delay periods. The
sounder also provides acknowledgment tones when keys are pressed, and confirmation
tones for successful command entries.
Touchpad Styles
There are two styles of touchpads, Custom Display Touchpads and English Display
Touchpads, either of which may have been used in your system (see page 9). Although
different in appearance, both styles are functionally the same, except for their display
windows. The keys on these touchpads are located behind a flip-down cover, which can be
removed if desired.
• Custom Display Touchpads
These feature a 2-line, 32 character alphanumeric Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which can
display the nature and location of all occurrences in friendly English.
• English Display Touchpads
These are functionally similar to the Custom Display touchpads, except that their LCD
display uses pre-designated (fixed) words to identify the nature and location of
occurrences.
Unless stated otherwise, all commands and procedures described herein apply equally to
both styles of touchpads.
Typical displays that would appear on both Custom Display touchpads and English Display
touchpads are depicted throughout this manual.
