ABOUT THE KEYPADS
General
IMPORTANT: If the key-
pad 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 allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature a
telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the
nature and location of all occurrences.
The keypads also feature a built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and
troubles. The keypads also "beep" during certain system functions, such as during
entry/exit delay times, in CHIME mode, and when depressing any of the keys (to
acknowledge the key press).
There are two basic types of keypads – a Fixed-Word keypad and an Alpha key-
pad (both described below). These keypads are available in two styles, shown as
style A and style B, either of which may have been used in your system. Although
different in appearance, both styles are functionally the same. Style B keypads have
a flip-down cover which can be removed, if desired.
2-Line Alpha Keypad
2-line Alpha 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. The screen displays depicted in this
manual are those that typically appear on a 2-line Alpha keypad.
1-Line Alpha Keypad 1-line Alpha keypads feature a 16-character alphanumeric LCD which can display
system messages in friendly English. Messages are the same as those for 2-line
Alpha keypads, but are displayed one line at a time. To view the second line of the
message, simply press the
# key. To return to the first line, press the # again,
or wait 3 seconds.
After pressing the
# key, wait at least 3 seconds before entering a command.
Fixed-Word Keypad
Fixed-Word keypads are functionally identical to Alpha keypads, but the LCD display
uses pre-designated words to identify the nature and location of occurrences.
