Wireless System Keypad
Model 8440
The Wireless System Keypad provides some of
the same features as the other keypads. It does,
however, have important differences. Please read
this section carefully if your dealer has included
this component in your system.
To Arm or Disarm Your System:
Enter the 3-digit access code. Only one code
will work with your system. The keypad will
beep once as you enter each number, and will
beep three times when the correct code is
entered.
Choose the level of protection you want by
pressing one of the buttons marked AWAY,
HOME or OFF. If you select HOME, your
system will be set to the Day level of protection.
You can not set your system to the
Night
level
of protection from this keypad. The system will
beep once when you disarm or arm with no
bypass, four times when you arm with a bypass,
and 8 times when the system fails to arm
because of a violated sensor that it can not
bypass.
NOTE:
The Wireless System Keypad can not be
programmed for multi-try lockout (see page
4),
even if the other keypads have this option.
To Generate Alarms:
Police:
Simultaneously press and hold both sets of
red dots in the area marked ALARM.
Ambush:
Enter the 3-digit access code backward.
To Open a Door or Window:
Your dealer can attach a wireless system keypad
to a door or window sensor so that you can disarm
the sensor whenever you want. To do this:
Enter your 3-digit access code.
Press OPEN. The transmitter will beep three
times.
Open the door or window within 40 seconds
after pressing OPEN. You can leave the door
open as long as you like. When you close it, the
sensor will be reaccepted into the system.

Replacing The Battery in a Wireless System
Keypad
The battery should be replaced whenever it is low.
Test the Wireless System Keypad weekly to be
sure it is working properly (see page 22 for the
procedure used to test battery power and opera-
tion). When the battery is low it will send a Trouble
message to the Display Control Keypad.

your system to the Test mode (see page 22).

the release tab at the bottom of the keypad.
Remove the keypad cover by lifting it up and out
at the bottom. The keypad will beep and send a
Tamper signal to the Test List.

9-volt
battery
(Duracell MN1 604, or Eveready 522). Attach the
battery lead and set battery into the keypad
body.

Test keypad to be sure it operates properly (see
