Note
What appears on the display of Air/W keypads as the flashing of the characters that indicate the
operating statuses of the partitions, is not actually true flashing but is in fact the solid negative image of
the characters themselves.

The Alien keypad screen
Although the functions provided by the different versions of the Alien keypads are they same,
the devices differ in screen size and the layout of the icons and buttons.
Following is the description of the Alien/S screen layout; the presence of the various elements
described depends on the activated functions and the accessed window:
Further visualizations displayed on the Alien screen depend on the section/page being
accessed by means of the buttons. The layout of such pages depends on the functions and
buttons available and how they are used (paragraph 6-7-1 Alien function keys).
POP-UP
There are also alerts which the control panel activates automatically and that appear as pop-
ups during the following events:
• Zone alarm or tamper
If any of the keypad partitions has alarm or tamper event memory, a pop-up will appear
showing:
•• an “ALARM” warning and the description of the zone which generated the alarm or
tamper signal
•• the Disarm button, to disarm all the armed partitions the code and keypad in use have
in common
•• the Stop alarms button, to deactivate the outputs activated by the alarm signal
•• Clear call queue button, to cancel the calls in the outgoing call queue
•• the Home button to access the home page directly
• Activation of the entry time
• Activation of the exit time
If an entry or exit time is activated, a pop-up will appear showing:
•• a string indicating the remaining seconds of the running entry/exit time
•• the Disarm button, to disarm all the armed partitions the code and keypad in use have
in common
•• the Scenarios button, to access the scenarios available for activation
•• the Home button to access the home page directly
