Keypad Mode
This option allows the HS2TCHP Touchscreen to function as a traditional DSC keypad.
Managing Partitions
A partition is a limited area of the premises which operates independently from the other areas. Partitioning a sys-
tem can be beneficial if the property has outbuildings that need to be secured independently of a main area or if
the home has a separate apartment. Each partition can have its own keypad, or a keypad can have access to all par-
titions. User access to partitions is controlled via access code. A master code can access the entire system and par-
titions, while a user code is limited to assigned partitions.
Partitions
Keypads can be configured to control an individual partition or all partitions.
Note: Access to this feature must be configured by your installer.
Single Partition Operation
Single partition keypads provide access to alarm functionality for an assigned partition.
Single partition keypads behave as follows:
l Displays the armed set state of the partition.
l Displays open zones, if assigned to the partition the keypad is on.
l Displays bypassed zones and allows zone bypassing or creating bypass groups of zones assigned to the
keypad partition.
l Displays system troubles (system low battery, system component faults/tampers).
l Displays alarms in memory that occurred on the partition.
l Allows the door chime to be Enabled/disabled.
l System test (sounds bells/PGMs assigned to the partition).
l Label programming (zone, partition and user labels for the partition).
l Command output controls (outputs assigned to the partition, or global outputs such as smoke detector
reset).
l Temperatures.
Loaning a Keypad to Another Partition
The HS2TCHP Touchscreen Keypad can be loaned to operate on other partitions. When a keypad is loaned to
another partition, it will behave on the loaned partition as if it was originally assigned there. An access code must
be entered before loaning a keypad to another partition. An access code is also required to perform any function
on that partition.
To loan a keypad to another partition:
