System Overview (cont’d) Zones and Partitions • The system sensing devices have been assigned to various “zones,” which are specific areas of protection (e.g., front door, kitchen window, etc.). • Zone numbers are displayed at the keypad when an alarm or trouble condition occurs on a sensor.
System Overview (cont’d) Function Keys • The “A,” “B,” “C,” and “D” keys can be programmed to perform various functions. • Functions include: activate a panic alarm, arm the system, provide step arming, switch lights on/off, send a message to a pager, display Time/Date, and start a programmed Macro sequence.
About The Keypads General Information Your keypads allow you to control all system functions and feature the following: • A telephone style (digital) keypad • Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) that show the nature and location of all occurrences • Built-in sounder that sounds during alarms and troubles. The sounder also "beeps" during certain system functions and also when depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press).

Entry/Exit Delays Entry Delay Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated entrance door. There are two entry delays (if programmed). The first is for your primary entrance and the second can be used for a secondary entrance, where a longer delay is required to walk to the keypad to disarm the system.
Entry/Exit Delays (cont’d) Exit Alarms Exit Error Conditions Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted before exit delay expires and remains faulted (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds an alarm and starts the entry delay timer. If you disarm the system before the entry delay ends, the alarm sound stops and the message "ALARM CANCELED "...
Checking For Open Zones Using the [∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ ] Key to Display and Announce System Status efore arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other protection zones must be closed or bypassed; otherwise the keypad will display a "Not Ready" message.

Arming the System (cont’d) Single Button Arming The “A”, “B”, “C”, and/or “D” keys on your keypad may have been programmed for single-button arming. Note that while it is not necessary to use a security code for arming (by using the Quick Arm method described previously), a security code must always be used when manually disarming the system.
Keyswitch Using the Keyswitch Your system may be equipped with a keyswitch for use when arming and disarming. Red and green lights on the keyswitch plate indicate the status of your system as follows: Green Light: Lights when the system is disarmed and ready to be armed (no open zones).
Disarming and Silencing Alarms Using the [OFF] key The OFF key is used to disarm the system, silence alarm and trouble sounds, and clear alarm memories. IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT ENTER, but CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location. If you return after an alarm has occurred and the main sounder has shut itself off, the keypad will beep rapidly upon your entering, indicating that an alarm has occurred during your absence.
Bypassing Protection Zones Using the BYPASS Key Use t his key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally unprotected. The system must be disarmed first. Vent Zones: Your system may have certain windows set as “vent” zones, which are automatically bypassed if left open when arming the system (you do not need to manually bypass them).
Bypassing Protection Zones (cont’d) Quick Bypass If programmed, "Quick Bypass" allows you to easily bypass all open (faulted) zones without having to enter zone numbers individually. This feature is useful if, for example, you routinely leave certain windows open when arming at night. Alpha Display: + [#] BYPASS...
Chime Mode Using the Chime Mode CHIME mode alerts you to the opening of a perimeter door or window while the system is disarmed. When Chime mode is activated: • Three tones sound at the keypad whenever a perimeter door or window is opened. •...
Date and Time Viewing the Current Date and Time The master users can view the system time and date setting on an alpha keypad. Other users can view the time/date if a function key has been programmed to do so. Alpha Display: + [#] + [6] [3] ∗∗∗∗DISARMED∗∗∗∗...
Panic Keys Using Panic Keys Your system may have been programmed to use special keys to manually activate emergency (panic) functions as follows: This Function Sends This Signal* With This Sounding… Silent Alarm silent alarm no audible alarm; displays, “Press [∗] to show faults,”...
Macro Key Programming & Usage About Macro Keys The “A”, “B”, “C” or “D” keys can be used to automatically activate a series of commands of up to 16 keystrokes, if programmed for this function. These keystrokes, as a group, are called “macros” and are stored in the system's memory. •...
Macro Key Programming & Usage (cont’d) The keypad beeps to acknowledge your input and displays the command you entered (followed by “F”). 4. Enter the next command, followed by press/holding the “D” key for at least two seconds. The keypad beeps and displays the keystrokes entered so far. 5.
Using Device Commands About Device Commands Your system may be set up so that it can control certain lights or other devices. • Some devices may be automatically turned on or off by the system. • You may be able to override automatically controlled devices using the commands described below.
Paging Feature About Automatic Paging Your system may be set up to automatically send messages to up to four pagers as certain conditions occur in your system. • The following events can be programmed by your installer to be sent to the pagers: †...
Paging Feature (cont’d) About Manual Paging Your system may be set up so you can manually send a message to up to four pagers. • Your installer programs the paging function key and the pager phone numbers. • Pressing the paging keys sends the message to the selected pager.
Security Codes & Authority Levels About Security Codes Your installer assigned a master code that is used to perform all system functions. In addition, you can assign up to 47 different security codes for use by other users. • Only the System Master and Partition Master can assign security codes to users. •...
Security Codes & Authority Levels (cont’d) How to Assign Security Codes and Attributes The following lists the various command strings for adding security codes and attributes Refer to the User Setup chart at the back of this manual for factory defaults of user attributes and to keep a record of user programming.
Accessing Other Partitions About Accessing Partitions (GOTO Command and Multi-Partition Arming) Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will show only that partition's information. • If the user is authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform system functions in the other partition by using the GOTO command.
Accessing Other Partitions (cont’d) Using the GoTo Command If the user is authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform system functions in the other partition by using the GOTO command. • You must use an Alpha keypad to access another partition. •...
