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.
• Typical macro functions can include:
- Arming sequences: STAY, Night-STAY, INSTANT, or AWAY
- Bypassing particular zone(s)
- Activating relay(s) for turning on (or off) lights, fans, etc.
• Up to four (FA168CPS) or two (FA148CP) macros can be assigned – but no
more than one macro to a key.
• Macros can be activated only by users with authority levels authorized to
perform the macro’s function.
NOTE: The installer must activate the desired function key before macros can be
assigned. See the chart at the back of this manual for the key(s) assigned for macros.

2. Enter the macro number (1-4 for FA168CPS; 1-2 for
FA148CP) to be programmed at the “Select Macro?”
prompt. Remember, only one macro can be assigned
to each key.

3. If a macro has been previously defined, the
keystrokes are shown on the bottom line of the
display, otherwise the display is blank.
To exit this mode (and keep the existing macro
definition), press any key except the [∗] key. The
system returns to normal mode.
To define a macro for the selected key, press [∗] and
continue with the next prompt.

Enter the first of the series of desired commands, (do
not include your master code), then press/hold the “D”
key for at least two seconds to complete the first
command. This key terminates each command, and
appears as an “F” in the keypad display.
