5.23 Keypad Blanking
If the Blank Keypad When Not in Use option is enabled, the
panel will turn off all lights and LCDs on the keypads when no
keys are pressed for 30 seconds. The keys, however, will
remain backlit.
The panel will turn the lights and LCDs back on if entry delay
begins or an audible alarm occurs. The lights and LCDs will
also come on if a key is pressed or, if a valid access code is
entered when the Code Required to Restore Blanking
option is enabled.
NOTE:If using a PC5132 v3.0 or greater, and wireless keys, do
not enable the Code Required to Restore Blanking option, as
the keys will not function correctly.
If the Power Save Mode option is enabled the panel will blank
all keypad lights including backlighting when AC power fails,
in order to conserve the back up battery.

5.24 Keypad Backlighting
The keys of all the keypads can be backlit to provide easy
viewing in dim lighting conditions. If the Keypad Backlighting
option is enabled the keys will be illuminated.

5.25 Loop Response
The normal loop response time for all zones is 384 millisec-
onds. The panel will not consider a zone violated unless it is
violated for at least 384 milliseconds.
Zones 1-6 on the control board, however, can be programmed
for a fast loop response (under 40ms).
Zones 1-6 are Fast Loop Response . . . . Section [030]: [1-6]
5.26 Keypad Tampers
If the Keypad Tampers Enable option is selected, the panel
will display and transmit a General System Tamper reporting
code if any keypad is removed from the wall. When the key-
pad tamper is restored, the panel will transmit the General
System Tamper Restoral reporting code. All keypads should
be properly installed and secured before enabling this option.
If the All System Tampers Require Installer Reset option is
enabled, any system tampers and zone faults must be reset
by entering [*][8][Installer’s Code] before the system can be
armed. Auto-Arming and Keyswitch arming will also be pre-
vented in the presence of any system tamper or zone fault.
NOTE:The auto-arm cancellation code is not transmitted when
a reset is required because a user has not cancelled the auto-
arming sequence.

5.27 GSM1000 Cellular Communicator
The GSM1000 Cellular Communicator can be used three dif-
ferent ways:
• as the sole communicator for the panel
• as a backup for either or both telephone numbers
• as a redundant backup to the land line communicator,
where the panel will call using the land line and the GSM.
A GSM Preamble is programmable for each telephone num-
ber in the event that the land line number is local but the GSM
is required to dial an exchange. When programming a GSM
Preamble, all unused digits must be programmed with a hexa-
decimal “F”.
NOTE: You may need to program an additional Delay Between
Dialing Attempts in order to ensure proper GSM1000 operation.
NOTE: If a GSM1000 is connected to the system, make sure
the Maximum Number of Dialing Attempts is programmed to
be 008 or greater (section [160].
Using GSM1000 as the Sole Communicator
The panel can be programmed to report an event only using
the GSM1000 cellular communicator. To program this option,
select only the GSM1000 in the Communicator Call Direction
Options. The Call GSM as well as Land Line option must also
be enabled.
When the selected event occurs the panel will only attempt to
call central station using the GSM.
Using the GSM1000 as a Backup Communicator
The panel can be programmed to call using the GSM1000
Cellular Communicator if the panel is having difficulty commu-
nicating an event using the land line. To program this option,
select both the telephone number and GSM options in the
Communicator Call Direction Options. The GSM is Backup of
Land Lines option must be selected.
When used as a backup communicator, the panel will attempt
to call the central station in the following manner:
the panel will try to call using land lines – if unsuccessful, the
panel will try to call using the GSM
if unsuccessful, the panel will try to call using the land lines on
the next dialing attempt
This process will continue until the panel has successfully
communicated with the central station or until the panel’s pro-
grammed number of dialing attempts have been exhausted.
Using the GSM as a Redundant Communicator
The panel can be programmed to call using first the GSM1000
and then the land line when an event occurs. To program this
option, select both the telephone number and the GSM
options for the Communicator Call Direction Options for the
event. The Call GSM as well as Land Line option must be
selected.
GSM Special Preamble
In some areas of North America, dialing #DAT or *DATA
reduces the cellular billing increment. The GSM Special Pre-
amble (section [393]), allows the use of [*] and [#] characters
for the programming of #DAT and *DATA.
The GSM Special Preamble is sent BEFORE the Preamble
programmed in Sections [390] to [392].
Example: [Special Preamble][Regular Preamble][Telephone
Number]
NOTE: If this Special Preamble is programmed, it will be
inserted before the Regular Preamble of ALL telephone num-
bers. Hex digits D and E are not supported for Preamble pro-
gramming.
NOTE: If Busy Tone Detection is enabled, the GSM1000 must
be tested to ensure full operation.
