OMMUNICATING
WITH
THE
P
ANEL
Touchpads allow you to communicate with the
panel. In turn, the system can be set up to commu-
nicate with you through:
• status beeps from touchpads and speakers,
• alarm sirens,
• scrolling text on alphanumeric touchpads,
• flashing lights on LED touchpads,
• voice feedback over Touchtone phones or
interior speakers, and
• system information over pagers.
Instructing the Panel
Most of your instructions to the panel consist of this
basic pattern:
Not just anyone can walk up to a touchpad and
operate your security system. Before the system
will process most commands, users are required to
enter a pre-programmed 4-digit access code.
Keychain touchpads that are enrolled as part of the
system do not require an access code, but are usu-
ally kept in an individual’s pocket or purse.
If you would rather use an
actual key to arm and disarm
the system, your security
dealer can install a special
key
and
keyswitch in your home.
Touchpads—Your System Interface
There is a broad range of touchpads that can be
used with your panel—from a single-button panic
sensor which sends only panic alarms, to an alpha-
numeric touchpad that displays text and allows
extensive user programming.
Alphanumeric Touchpads
Alphanumeric touchpads are
mounted on a wall and commu-
nicate by displaying text on a
two-line display.
LED Touchpads
LED touchpads are mounted on
a wall and communicate by
lighting specific LEDs and LED
light patterns on the touchpad.
Wireless Handheld Touchpad
This touchpad is wireless and
can be carried from room to
room. Users can even arm the
system from outside the home
or business.
Keychain Touchpads
Keychain touchpads are handy for
simple arming and disarming func-
tions. They are wireless and can
be carried off-site in a purse or
pocket.
The installer can program specific
buttons or button combinations to operate a gate or
garage door, or to send a Police or Auxiliary panic
alarm.
