11.4 Keyswitch
11.4.1 Keyswitch Description
You can connect a maintained or momentary contact arming station (UL Listed security device keyswitch) to
master arm/disarm any of the areas in the system. The keyswitch is connected to an on-board or off-board
point’s sensor loop. Outputs can be programmed to activate arming status LEDs for keyswitch arming stations.
See the Outputs section of the D6412/D4412 Program Entry Guide (P/N: 45351) for more information.
11.4.2 Keyswitch Programming
See Point Index Configuration in the D6412/D4412 Program Entry Guide (P/N: 45351) for point programming for
keyswitches.
11.4.3 Keyswitch Installation
For maintained switches, connect the end-of-line resistor for the point at the keyswitch so that the switch opens
the circuit when it operates. A short on the circuit produces an alarm if the area is armed and a trouble if it is
disarmed (see Figure 35).
For momentary switches, connect the end-of-line resistor for the point at the keyswitch so that the switch shorts
the resistor when it operates. An open on the circuit produces an alarm if the area is armed and a trouble if it is
disarmed (see Figure 35).

11.4.4 Keyswitch Operation
Arming/Disarming
The panel offers a wide variety of keyswitch arming options. See Point Index Configuration in the D6412/D4412
Program Entry Guide (P/N: 45351) for details on configuring keyswitch arming options.
Silencing Alarms
• Momentary Keyswitch: To silence alarms (stop Alarm output), operate the keyswitch. If the area is armed,
operating the keyswitch to silence the alarm will also disarm the area. If the area is disarmed, operating a
momentary keyswitch to silence the alarm will not arm the area.
• Maintained Keyswitch: If the area is armed, turn the keyswitch to the disarmed position. The panel will
disarm the area and silence the alarm. If the area is disarmed, turn the keyswitch to the armed position (the
panel will not arm) and then return to the disarmed position.
