General Information
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature the
following:
• A telephone style (digital) keypad
• Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all
occurrences
• Built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and troubles. The sounder also
"beeps" during certain system functions and when depressing any of the keys (to
acknowledge the key press).
• Backlighting of the LCD display windows. Backlighting turns on when any key is
pressed, and when opening an entry/exit door while the system is armed. This
feature is helpful when a keypad is located in a dimly lit area.
IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the premises, it indicates
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.
Your keypads are functionally the same, but may have different types of displays,
depending on the type installed with your system.
Alpha Display 2-line alpha display keypads feature a 2-line, 32-character
alphanumeric LCD which can display system messages in
friendly English. These keypads can also be programmed with
custom zone descriptors.
Fixed-Word Display Fixed-Word display keypads are functionally identical to Alpha
display keypads, but the LCD display uses pre-designated
words to identify the nature and location of occurrences.
Voice Keypads Voice Keypads (if installed), are functionally the same as other
keypads, except that these keypads can provide the following:
• Voice announcements of system status (see Checking for
Open Zones section)
• Voice chime, which can alert you to the opening of doors and
windows while the system is disarmed (see Voice Chime in
Chime mode section)
• Message center, which lets you record and playback
messages (see Using the Voice Message Center in the
System Overview section).
