SPECIAL KEYPAD OPERATING FEATURES
ARMING or DISARMING TWO AREAS at a KEYPAD
If the panel is configured for two Areas “A&B”, and the option “ARM” button required before code is turned on (P45E
Option 1), there are a number of possible arming options.
If a user code is only assigned to one area and they press <ARM> <CODE> <ENTER> at the keypad, only the Area as-
signed to their code will Arm.
If a user code is assigned to both areas but the keypad being used is only assigned to one area, pressing <ARM>
<CODE> <ENTER> will only arm the area assigned to the keypad.
If a user code is assigned to both areas, the keypad being used is also assigned to both areas, plus the ARM button is
assigned to both Areas (P74E), pressing <ARM> <CODE> <ENTER> will put the keypad into a “Ready to Arm” state. On
the LCD keypad the display will show “Area/s to Arm” “A B”, and on the LED keypad LED’s 1 & 2 (LED 1 = Area A & LED 2
= Area B) will turn on.
If you press the <ENTER> button now, both areas A&B will arm. If before pressing the enter button you wish to deselect
one of the Areas eg if you only want to arm area B press the number “1” and Area “A” will disappear on the LCD keypad
display or the number “1” will turn off on the LED keypad indicating that only area B will arm when the enter button is
pressed.
The number “1” will toggle area A on/off and the number “2” will toggle area B on/off.
If you don’t do anything the panel will proceed with arming both areas after 10 seconds time has elapsed.
On disarming, after entering <CODE> <ENTER> the display on the LCD keypad will show “Area/s to Disarm” “A B”, and
on the LED keypad LED’s 1 & 2. You can press the <ENTER> button at this point to disarm both areas, select which area
you wish to disarm by using the numbers 1 & 2 on the keypad, or if you don’t do anything the panel will proceed with
disarming both areas after 10 seconds time has elapsed.
LCD QUICKVIEW MODE
If any zones are unsealed when disarmed the LCD keypad will scroll through each unsealed zone displaying the 16 char-
acter name for each zone. If a number of zones are unsealed simultaneously it can take sometime for the display to
show all of the unsealed zones. By pressing the <ENTER> button when zones are unsealed the keypad will enter the
“Quick-view” mode. When in “Quick-view” mode, each unsealed zone is displayed as a single two digit number eg “01
05 10”. Up to 5 unsealed zones maybe displayed at one time. If more than 5 zones are unsealed at the time the display
will scroll to the next bank of 5 zones so the user can see quickly which zones are unsealed. To exit “Quick-view” mode
you simply press the <ENTER> button again or the keypad will time out automatically in approximately 30 seconds.
TOGGLE CHIME MODE ON/OFF
On the Landscape LCD Keypad there is a “CHIME” button. Pressing and holding that button for two seconds will toggle
Chime Mode from On-Off or Off-On. On the Portrait LCD keypad or the LED Keypads, there is no chime button so the
Control & Program buttons are used. By pressing and holding the <CONTROL> button then within 2 seconds also
pressing the <PROGRAM> button, you will toggle Chime Mode from On-Off or Off-On. On the LED keypad the “AUX(0)”
LED will turn on when chime mode is off.
SEND MANUAL TEST CALL
If the panel is configured for Contact ID reporting and test calls are programmed to report, you can force a manual test
call by pressing and holding <CONTROL> followed within 2 seconds by <0>. This will cause a manual test call to be
sent to the monitoring company. You can also dial into the panel from a remote site and using the telephone cause a
manual test call remotely. See P175E15E and P176E11E for details.
MANUALLY ANSWER AN INCOMING CALL
If the panel is not configured to answer in-coming calls, the user can force it to answer the call by pressing and holding
<CONTROL> followed within 2 seconds by <9>. This will make the panel answer the call immediately. For this function
to work the phone line must be ringing at the time and there must have been at least two rings before pressing the but-
tons.
