8.0 Keypads
8.1 The Master Keypad
Your system may include a Master keypad.
A Master keypad is a DS7447 keypad programmed to give a user access to all the partitions he has access to, not just the partition the
Master keypad is in. This is different from a Standard keypad, in that Standard keypads only give access to the single partition they are
in. Commands entered at the Master keypad will affect all the partitions the user has access to. If this is not desirable, the Master keypad
can be used to control partitions individually; this is called Single Partition Mode. Single Partition Mode allows a user to control the
partitions he has access to on an individual (one by one) basis (see section 8.5 for more information on Single Partition Mode).
8.2 Master Keypad Displays
Master keypad displays will differ slightly from Standard keypads.
The Master keypad display will scroll the Status of each partition, followed by the partition number.
For example, if all partitions are armed, the Master keypad will scroll through the following displays:
Armed Armed Armed Armed Armed Armed Armed Armed
Area 1 Area 2 Area 3 Area 4 Area 5 Area 6 Area 7 Area 8
If only partitions 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 are armed, the Master keypad will scroll through the following displays:
Armed Armed Armed Armed Ready to Arm Armed Ready to Arm Armed
Area 1 Area 2 Area 3 Area 4 Area 5 Area 6 Area 7 Area 8
Displays for partitions that are Not Ready will display in the same manner.
