Operating your system using the Gateway Touchpad
The Gateway Touchpad is designed to operate your basic security features. It also lets you
quickly see your system status by which items on the Touchpad are lit.
The Status Shield and arming options are always lit and color coded to show system status at a
glance. Emergency is also always lit, so it is easy to find, when needed. The other options on the
touchpad light only when needed.
System Status Shield
The Status Shield indicates system status with these behaviors:
Green, steady System is ready to be armed
Green Flash A zone is faulted
Red, steady System is armed
Red, blinking slowly Entry delay countdown started; enter your user code to
disarm the system
Red, blinking rapidly System is in Alarm
If programmed to do so, two-way Voice Communication
may be active when the system is in Alarm. [See your
installer to program this feature.]
White, steady System is waiting for a user code
See the
section for information on silent alarms.
System Alert
If the system experiences a condition such as AC power loss, connectivity or a communication
problem, the
Alert blinks.
Press and the Gateway announces the system Alert condition and suggested actions.
NOTE: If the Gateway loses AC power, Alert begins to blink slowly after 15 minutes on
battery backup and all other lights on the Gateway are off. In this situation, although
the Emergency light is off,
Emergency functions remain available.
