4.2 Using the keypad
The PowerSeries Pro alarm panel is compatible with several different keypad types (see
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 programming
option. It is also the first key entry for [*] commands and can be used to enter the letters A-F when in Installer Programming mode.
The [#] key is similar in function to the “ESC” (escape) key on a personal computer. It is generally used to exit the current
programming section or to return to the previous one.
LED indicators
Keypads have the following status lights that provide visual indication of basic system status:
