About The Keypads
General
IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the
premises, it indicates that an alarm has occurred during your
absence. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE
from a safe location nearby.
NOTE: If you have a Touch Screen Keypad connected to your system, refer
to the Touch Screen Keypad User Guide for operating instructions.
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. 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 that 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 perform system
functions (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.
The Alpha Keypad
Alpha keypads feature a 2-line, 32 character alphanumeric Liquid Crystal Display
(LCD) that can display system messages in user-friendly English. Abbreviated user's
instructions can also be displayed (see Self Help paragraph in the SYSTEM
OVERVIEW section). These keypads can also be programmed with custom zone
descriptors.
