ABOUT THE CONSOLES
General
Console Styles
Console Displays
Your consoles allow you to control all system functions. The consoles feature a
telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which
shows the nature and location of all occurrences.
The consoles feature a built-in sounder which emits alarm sounds during alarm
conditions and produces warning tones during entry (and exit, if so-
programmable) delay periods. The sounder also provides acknowledgement
tones when keys are pressed, and confirmation tones for successful command
entries.
There are two basic styles of consoles, A and B, either of which may have been
used in your system (see page 7). Although different in appearance, both styles
are functionally the same. The keypads on style B consoles are located behind
a flip-down cover which can be removed, if desired,
There are two basic types of console displays, Alpha and Fixed-Word, either of
which may have been used in your system.
c Alpha Console Displays feature a 2-line, 32 character alphanumeric
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which can display the nature and location of all
occurrences in friendly English.
. Fixed-Word Console Displays are functionally similar to the Alpha
Consoles, except that their LCD display uses pre-designated (fixed) words to
identify the nature and location of occurrences. Words displayed on all Fixed-
Word consoles are the same, except that their location in the display window
will vary with various models.
Unless stated otherwise, all commands and procedures described herein apply
equally to all consoles.
