Description Of The Keys
The Concept 2000 is controlled by using the keypad located below the display window.
Each time a key is pressed the Concept 2000 will emit a short “beep” to indicate that the key was accepted.
You may press the keys as fast as you like but, only one key should be pressed at a time.
If the Concept 2000 emits a “long beep” when a key is pressed it means that the key was not accepted or is not allowed.
The keypad has 20 keys, all of which are listed below with a brief explanation of their purpose,
The HELP key is used to display a “help message”, on the current operation being performed, by the user. The HELP
key can be pressed at any time. If no help is available on the current item then the display window will not alter. When
you have finished looking at the “help message”, press any digit key.
The digit keys are used for entering your secret code before using the Concept 2000. When entering your secret code,
you have 15 seconds to press each digit. When you have entered all of the digits of your secret code, you must press the
OK key. No Concept 2000 panel operations can be carried out until you have entered your secret code and pushed the
OK key.
Each key has letters associated letters with the digits. By using familiar words, these letters can be used to help you
remember your secret code.
For example; the word “FRANK” could be used to help you remember the secret code comprising of the digits “2”, “6”,
“1”, “5” and “4”
The OK key is pressed after you have entered your secret code. You have 15 seconds to press the OK key once you have
completed entering your secret code. Pressing the OK key tells the Concept 2000 to check the secret code you have just
entered.
The END key is used when you have finished using the Concept 2000 panel, or if you make a mistake whilst entering
your secret code. Once the END key is pushed, you must enter your secret code again.
During normal operations, if the Concept 2000 detects no key presses for more than 15 seconds, then the Concept 2000
will automatically “press” the END key and you will have to re-enter your secret code again.
The ON key is used to turn On the Area whose name is being displayed in the display window.
The OFF key is used to turn Off the Area whose name is being displayed in the display window.
The MENU key is used if you wish to perform other Concept 2000 operations apart from turning Areas On or Off. (Of
course you must have already entered your secret code plus the OK key.)
When the MENU key is pushed, the Concept 2000 will list, in the display window, the other operations you are allowed
to perform.
The MENU key is not used during normal operation. If you press it by accident then press the “O” key or the END key.
