4.2 Using the Keypad
The PowerSeries Neo alarm panel is compatible with several different keypad types (see "Compatible Devices" on page 9);
However, all keypads have certain basic functionality in common.
4.2.1 Special Keys
Scroll symbols < > on keypads with LCD displays indicate that options can be viewed by pressing the scroll keys.
These keys can also be used to position the cursor.
The [*] key is similar in function to the “Enter” key on a personal computer. It is generally used to accept the existing pro-
gramming option. It is also the first key entry for [*] commands and can be used to enter the letters A-F when in Installer Pro-
gramming mode.
The [#] key is similar in function to the “ESC” (escape) key on a personal computer. It is generally used to exit the current pro-
gramming section or to return to the previous one.
4.2.2 LED Indicators
Keypads have the following status lights that provide visual indication of basic system status:
Ready: Panel is ready to be armed.
Armed: Panel is armed.
Trouble: System trouble. Enter [*][2] to view troubles.
AC Power: ON=AC present. OFF=AC absent.
