 to blink:
• Open panel tamper
• Dislodged panel tamper

• Keypad Tamper

FALSE KEY
If the “False key” event is configured as a “Silent event”, the red LED will not blink.
HIDE STATUS
If “Hide status” option is enabled, the status of the partitions will be hidden. If a valid code is
entered at a keypad, the real-time status will be indicated on the keypad in question for 30
seconds. Additionally:
• If the partitions are armed, the status of the system will be hidden from non-authorized
users.
•• Red keypad LED Off
•• Yellow keypad LED Off
•• Green keypad LED On solid
•• Status icons not present
•• Alarm and Tamper memory hidden
•• If a particular event occurs more than 5 times when the partitions are armed, it will not
be signaled as having occurred more than 5 times. This is due to the limitation placed
on the counter of each event. The counters will reset to zero each time all the partitions
are disarmed.
• If the partitions are DISARMED:
•• The LEDs will function normally.
•• Status icons present
•• Alarm and Tamper memory visible
