KEYPAD FUNCTIONS
Data Entry Keys
The arrow keys (
⇑ ⇓ ⇐ ⇒
) are used to navigate through the
various menu trees during programming.
The up and down arrows change the display to the previous or
next programming item. Items that are above or below each
other in the programming menu trees can be selected using
the up and down arrow keys.
The OK key is used to accept an entry or to branch to sub-menu
items in the programming menu trees. Items that blink in the
displayed menus are the current selection, (
⇐ & ⇒
) scrolls to
a new selection. Pressing OK accepts that item and enters it
into the system’s memory.
Numeric Keypad
The numeric keypad is used to enter area numbers, media
codes and any other numeric data required during
programming. Special key combinations are used for special
functions (resetting supervisory low battery, status and trouble
indications from MGT safety edge transmitters).
[
*
] Key
The [
*
] key has several functions. Pressing and holding the [
*
]
key for about three seconds will cause the AM/II to ask for a
password to enter Program Mode. This is the only way to enter
Program Mode.
While in Program Mode, the [
*
] key acts as an escape (cancel)
key. Pressing the [
*
] key during any programming step will
cancel any ongoing entries and return the display to the top of
that area’s menu. Pressing the [
*
] key again will return the
display to the top of Area 01 (the first programming step).
Pressing and holding the [
*
] key for about three seconds in
Program Mode will cause the AM/II to exit Program Mode and
return to the normal Run Mode.
While in Run Mode, pressing and holding the [
*
] key and
pressing an ACCESS button will lock that relay closed,
preventing any transmitters from activating that output. The
output can be unlocked by pressing the appropriate ACCESS
button twice (to lock open, then to return to normal unlocked
operation).
[#] Key
The [#] key is used as a shift key to activate special system
functions.
Pressing and holding the [#] key and pressing [1] will reset any
trouble indications caused by supervised MGT safety edge
transmitters. If an MGT transmitter sends a trouble signal for
low battery, tamper or doesn’t send status signals for six hours,
the OBSTACLE indicator will flash and a trouble message will
be shown on the LCD display. To clear the trouble indication,
hold the [#] key and press [1].
Alphanumeric Data Entry
The AM/II keypad has alphanumeric capabilites. Each button
on the numeric keypad can create five characters.
The first press of the key enters the key number, presses 2-4
enters a lower case alphabetic character. Press the [#] key to
change a lower case to an upper case letter. Press a number
key then the [#] key for symbol characters.

NOTE: Entering alphanumeric characters is much easier
using a computer or data terminal through the RS-232 port.
