About The Keypads
General Information
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions and feature the following:
• A telephone style (digital) keypad
• Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) that show the nature and location of all occurrences
• Built-in sounder that sounds during alarms and troubles. The sounder also "beeps"
during certain system functions and also when depressing any of the keys (to
acknowledge the key press).
• Backlighting of the LCD display windows. Backlighting turns on when any key is
pressed or when entering the premises through any assigned entry/exit door. This
feature is helpful when a keypad is located in a dimly lit area.
IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the premises, it indicates that an
alarm has occurred during your absence and an intruder may still be on the premises.
LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.
Alpha Display 2-line alpha display keypads feature a 2-line, 32-character
alphanumeric LCD that displays system messages in friendly
English. These keypads can also be programmed with custom
zone descriptors.
Fixed-Word Display Fixed-Word display keypads are functionally identical to
Alpha display keypads, but the LCD display uses pre-
designated words to identify the nature and location of
occurrences.
Voice Keypads Voice Keypads (if installed), are functionally the same as other
keypads, except that these keypads can provide the following:
• Voice announcements of system status (see Checking for
Open Zones section)
• Voice chime, which can alert you to the opening of doors and
windows while the system is disarmed (see Voice Chime in
Chime mode section)
• Message center, which lets you record and playback
messages (see Using the Voice Message Center in the
System Overview section).
