ABOUTTHEKEYPADS
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature a
telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the
nature and location of all occurrences. Keypad display back lighting is programmable to
always stay on or to light only when a key is pressed, then turn off a few minutes later.
The keypads also feature a built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and
troubles. It will also “beep” during certain system functions, such as during entry/exit
delay times, during CHIME mode, and when depressing keys to arm and disam the
system (to acknowledge the key press). These sounds can be optionally suppressed
in some of your keypads (so as not to disturb other users of the system). Ask your
installer if this has been done.
There are two basic types of keypads -
a FIXED-WORD (non-Alpha) keypad and an
ALPHA keypad (both described below). The keys on these keypads are located
behind a flip-down cover which can be removed, if desired.
The Alpha
Alpha keypads feature a 24ine, 32 character alphanumeric Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
Keypad
which can display system messages in friendly English. Abbreviated user’s instructions
can also be displayed (see Self Help paragraph in the SYSTEM OVERVlEWsection).
These keypads can also be programmed with custom zone descriptors.
The Fixed-Word Fixed-Word keypads are functionally identical to alpha keypads, but the LCD display
Keypad
uses pre-designated words to identify nature and location of occurrences.
