About the Keypads
IMPORTANT
If the keypad beeps rapidly when you enter the premises, it
means that an alarm has occurred during your absence and an
intruder may still be on the premises.
LEAVE IMMEDIATELY AND
CONTACT THE POLICE
from a
nearby safe location.
General Information
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads
feature a telephone-style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) that shows the nature and location of all occurrences.
The keypads contain a built-in loudspeaker (sounder) that will
annunciate during alarms and troubles. The keypads also beep during
certain system functions, such as during entry/exit delay times, in
CHIME
mode, and when you depress any of the keys (to acknowledge
the key press).
There are two basic types of keypads: the
fixed-word
keypad and the
alpha
keypad (both described below).
Two-Line Alpha Keypad
Two-line alpha keypads feature a 2-line, 32-character alphanumeric
LCD that display system messages in English. The typical alpha
keypad (FA560KP) is shown on page 12. These keypads can also be
programmed with custom zone descriptors.
The screen displays
depicted in this manual are those that typically appear on a 2-
line alpha keypad.
Fixed-Word Keypad
Fixed-word keypads are functionally identical to alpha keypads, but
the LCD display uses predesignated words to identify the nature and
location of occurrences. The typical fixed-word keypad (FA215KP) is
shown on the next page.
