Keypad Functions
General Information Note that if you enabled QUICK ARM for the partition (field
21), the [#] key
can be pressed instead of entering the partition's security code, for any of the
arming procedures (Away, Stay, Instant, Maximum, etc.). The security code is
always required, however, when disarming the system.
The keypad allows the user to arm and disarm the system, and perform other
system functions, such as bypassing zones, and display zone descriptors. Zone
and system conditions (alarm, trouble, bypass) are displayed in the Display
Window.
When an alarm occurs, keypad sounding and external sounding will occur,
and the zone(s) in alarm will be displayed on the keypad. Pressing any key
will silence the keypad sounder for 10 seconds. Disarming the system will
silence both keypad and external sounders. When the system is disarmed,
any zones that were in an alarm condition during the armed period will be
displayed (memory of alarm). To clear this display, simply repeat the disarm
sequence (enter the security code and press the OFF key) again.
The keypads also feature chime annunciation, and 3 panic key pairs, or
individual panic keys (depending on keypad type Ð see Panic Keys below), for
silent, audible, fire or personal emergency alarms. These keys can notify the
central station of an alarm condition, if that service is connected.
Arming Functions The following is a brief list of system commands. For detailed information
concerning system functions, refer to the User's Manual.
Disarmed, Not Ready ........ Before arming, the system must be in the
READY condition (all zones must be intact). If
the "NOT READY" message appears, press the
READY [
] key to display faulted zones.
Arming Away ...................... Enter code + AWAY [2].
Arming Stay........................ Enter code + STAY [3].
Arming Instant .................. Enter code + INSTANT [7].
Arming Maximum ............. Enter code + MAXIMUM [4].
Disarming ........................... Enter code + OFF [1].
Bypassing Zones ................ Enter code + BYPASS [6] + zone number(s).
Forced (Quick) Bypass ..... To automatically bypass all faulted zones (plus
(If enabled) zones 17, 30, and 31 if programmed), use the
"Quick Bypass" method: Enter code + BYPASS,
then wait for all open zones to be displayed.
Arm when display indicates ÒbypassÓ and
Òready to armÓ.
Chime Mode ........................ Enter code + CHIME [9].
To turn chime off, enter code + CHIME again.
