The [

Keypad Zones
Three types of alarm may be activated by pressing and holding a single key on the keypad. Note that the
[A] Key alarm is silent, and the [P] Key alarm may be either silent or audible. Silent alarms should not be used
unless they are programmed to activate the Programmable Outputs, otherwise no alarm indication will be
generated when these keys are pressed.
[F]
Press and hold the [F] Key for 2 seconds to sound an [F] Key alarm; the siren will sound a pulsed
tone. The keypad will sound a series of short beeps once the system has accepted the alarm.
[A]
Press and hold the [A] Key for 2 seconds to generate an [A] Key alarm; the siren will not sound
when this function is activated. The keypad will sound a series of short beeps once the system
has accepted the alarm. Refer to Programming Section [4] for information on programming one
of the Programmable Outputs to be activated when this key is pressed.
[P]
Press and hold the [P] Key for 2 seconds to generate a [P] Key alarm. This alarm may be
programmed as either silent or audible; refer to Programming Section [5]. When programmed
as “audible”, the keypad will sound a series of short beeps once the system has accepted the
alarm, and the siren will sound a steady tone. Refer to Programming Section [4] for information
on programming one of the Programmable Outputs to be activated when this key is pressed.
Adjusting the Keypad Sounder Tone and Backlighting
The sounder tone and the lighting behind the keys for each Keypad may be individually adjusted. The sounder
tone may be set with a loud tone, a softer tone, or no tone at all. The backlighting can be set at medium or high
brightness, or it may be turned off.
To adjust the Keypad’s sounder, press and hold the [#] Key; after two seconds, the sounder will begin to beep.
With each beep, the tone of the beep will increase or decrease. When the desired tone is achieved, release
the [#] Key.
To adjust the Keypad’s backlighting, press and hold the [
∗
] Key. The zone and status lights will be shut off,
and the Keypad will beep as each of the three backlighting levels is shown: medium, high and off. When the
desired level is reached, release the [
∗
] Key. Press the [#] Key to return to the “Ready” mode.
If all power to the system is shut off, each Keypad’s tone and backlighting will be restored to the factory settings.
