Congratulations on the purchase of your new alarm system. The alarm panel will be referenced through out this
manual as SMDC and the arming pads will be called the SMPC. The SMDC is an ongoing project in advance
technology from Optex Inc. which incorporates many new and innovative features to ensure that the system is easily
operated by yourself and all other authorized users of the system. Please take a few moments to review this manual
and familiarize yourself with your new security system and the benefits and peace of mind that it is intended to
furnish.
Description of Your Alarm System
• The SMDC control panel is a sixteen zone (16) control panel that has the capabilities to be expanded to a
maximum of eighty (80) zones, in eight zone increments. The panel will support a maximum of eight (8)
keypads which are used by you to enter commands to the control panel.
• Be sure that you question your installation company to the number of zones they have installed and the
placement of the arming stations.
• A chart is available in the back of this manual to document the type of protection device and the placement in
your facility.
Description of Keypads
• The SMPC is a state of the art arming station that makes use of raised buttons which allows you to easily
depress a button without the accidental depression of a neighboring button.
• Each depression of a number or word key will emit a tactile tone which is nothing more than a clicking sound to
reassure you that the depression of that button has been recognized by the control panel.
• There are two basic styles of keypads available:
1. keypads that have back lighting which normally would be installed in areas that have dim or no
light at certain time periods.
2. keypads that have no back lighting.
Keypad Maintenance
• From time to time, there may become a need to clean your keypads due to normal use and this may be
accomplished with a damp cloth or mild cleaning solution.
• There is no need to worry of the lettering being removed during cleaning as the lettering is actually molded into
the rubber and cannot be harmed.
Keypad Diagram
• Below is a diagram and a brief description of the buttons, for a more detailed description of the buttons and
