2.0 Basic Operation
Both the Spectra 1686H and 1686V LED keypads function
and display information in the same way. The following
sections provide you with an introduction to the buttons
and indicator lights on your keypad.
Many of the features in your system must be
enabled by the installer. If the feature is not
programmed, the keypad will emit a rejection beep
and the action will be cancelled. Refer to System
Checklist on page 30 for details.
2.1 Auditory Feedback
When you enter information on the keypad, it will guide you
with beep tones that communicate acceptance or rejection
of your entries. You should be familiar with these two
keypad beep tones:
Confirmation Beep: When an operation (i.e. arming/
disarming) is successfully entered on the keypad or when
the system switches to a new status/mode, the keypad
produces an intermittent beep tone (“
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-
BEEP”).
Rejection Beep: When the system reverts to its previous
status or when an operation is incorrectly entered on the
keypad, it will emit a continuous beep tone (“
BEEEEEEEEP”).
