ABOUT THE KEYPADS
General
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 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
keypad (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.
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.
