3.2 Using the keypad
The PowerSeries Pro alarm panel is compatible with several different keypad types (see "Compatible devices" on page 8);
however, all keypads have certain basic functionality in common.
Special keys
Scroll symbols < > on keypads with LCD displays indicate that options can be viewed by pressing the scroll keys. These
keys can also be used to position the cursor.
The [*] key is similar in function to the “Enter” key on a personal computer. It is generally used to accept the existing pro-
gramming option. It is also the first key entry for [*] commands and can be used to enter the letters A-F when in Installer Pro-
gramming mode.
The [#] key is similar in function to the “ESC” (escape) key on a personal computer. It is generally used to exit the current pro-
gramming section or to return to the previous one.
LED indicators
Keypads have the following status lights that provide visual indication of basic system status:
Ready:
Panel is ready to be armed.
Armed:
Panel is armed.
Trouble:
System trouble. Enter [*][2] to view troubles.
AC Power
: ON=AC present. OFF=AC absent.
Panel status LED operation
The red status LED, located on the alarm controller PCB, indicates the following:
l
Power up sequence – flashes rapidly until the end of the power-up sequence.
l
Firmware indication – flashes during the firmware upgrade process. If the firmware upgrade fails, the LED flashes rap-
idly.
l
Flashing cadences (timings) – During a firmware upgrade process the Status LED shall flash: 800ms on / 800ms off.
This cadence shall clear at the end of the firmware upgrade process. If the firmware upgrade fails the Status LED
shall flash: 200ms on / 200ms off. This cadence shall clear when the firmware upgrade process is reattempted.
