USER GUIDE
Keypad Features
DISPLAY
The keypad features a 2-digit numeric display for zone identification and pre-designated English-
language prompts (e.g., “ALARM,” “AWAY,” “STAY,” “CHECK,” etc.) for indicating system status.
See Figure 1.
FUNCTION KEYS
The function keys are located behind a decorative door and are continuously backlit for ease in use.
(Check the User’s Guide that accompanies the control panel for detailed instructions on the use of
these keys.)
The function keys include keys for panic alarm activation. The panic alarms are activated by
pressing key pairs [1] & [*], [3] & [#], or [*] & [#], or a Special Function Key (see below). Whether
these panic keys function and the type of panic alarms they produce is determined by the control
panel’s capability and programming. (Check with your installer for the availability and type of alarm
of these panic keys.)
SOUNDER
The sounder is a piezo-electric sounder that pulses for fire alarms and sounds continuously for
burglary and audible panic alarms.
KEYPAD LEDS
The keypad contains two LEDs that indicate the status of the system as follows:
LED
Function
Green
Lights when the system is ready to arm (no zone faults are present).
Red
Lights when the system is armed.
SPECIAL FUNCTION KEYS
These are four keys located to the left of the numeric keys (see Figure 1). The keys may be
programmed by your installer for panic alarms or other special functions such as macros (a
frequently used series of key entries). Function keys must be held down for at least 2 seconds
to activate an alarm. (Check with your installer for the programmed function of these keys.)
