KEYS
The various keypad models have different functions, enclosures and key access. The
keys on Joy keypads are protected a cover, whereas, the keys of the nCode/G, Aria and
Concept/G keypads are on view. The Concept/G is a touch-screen keypad. Alien
keypads are not equipped with keys but instead have a colour touch screen that allows
access to the system via touch or touch-screen pen (supplied with Alien/G).
The installer assigns the partitions and portions/sections of the system that users, with
assigned codes, will have access to via the keypad in use.
SHORTCUTS
It is possible to extend the use of some of the system shortcuts to users without
assigned codes. In this way, SmartLiving control panels add further operating modes to
that of the traditional user menu which is only accessible after code entry.
It is possible to use the shortcuts at the keypads (refer to “Shortcuts” in the Glossary)
associated with keys
. Generally, intrusion control panels do not
allow access to the system via keypad without code entry. However, by means of the
shortcuts associated with keys
, ...,
it is possible to enable building occupants
to access and operate on the system without code entry.
The Alien touch screen user interface provides shortcuts such as the activation of
scenarios, and also applications such as device settings, which can be activated by the
buttons displayed on the screen without code entry.
The installer must program the shortcuts to suit the system requirements and explain
how they are used. For example, it may be useful to allow all the building occupants to
arm the system without code entry, as this operation increases the level of system
security. However, operations which lower the level of system security should be
reserved for code users only (thus allowing identification of users who disarm the
system). Under normal circumstances, operations which increase system security can
be allowed without valid-code entry whereas, operations which lower system security
(Disarm, Delete Alarm/Tamper memory, Deactivate Alarm/Tamper outputs) should be
allowed only after valid-code entry.
CHRONOTHERMOSTAT
JOY/MAX and Alien keypads also provide a programmable chronothermostat function.
This function allows you to set up zone management (one zone per keypad) of the
heating/air-conditioning system.
The temperature is gauged by a built-in temperature sensor. The hysteresis is fixed at
0.4°C.
CONCEPT/G ACCESS
The Concept/G keypad provides a further two options relating to direct user access.
A special feature allows activation of the backlight of the display and keys when users
approach the keypad. This is achieved through a proximity sensor which can be
activated by pressing keys
and
simultaneously and deactivated by pressing
and
.
The other option, block/unblock keypad, can be achieved by pressing key
for 3
seconds. If the block keypad option is enabled, the display will show the icon opposite.
WIRELESS TERMINALS
The Aria wireless keypad provides all the necessary functions for control and
management of a SmartLiving installation equipped with an Air2 system, which it can
interface with through the Air2-BS200 transceiver. It integrates all the functions of a
hard-wired keypad and provides a graphic icon display.
It is equipped with an accelerometer which provides both anti-tamper and “wakeup”
from stand-by functions, whereas the brightness sensor controls the display and key
brightness optimally with respect to the surrounding environment. Moreover, it has an
automatic shutdown function in the event of loss of wireless connection.

The Alien keypad
screen
The brightness and contrast of the backlit-graphic LCD (96 x 32 pixel) can be adjusted
by way of the respective options on the user menu (refer to paragraph 5-8 Keypad
settings).
It is divided into four lines which continually provide information regarding the status of
the system and control panel, without need of user-code entry.
