12 ProSYS User Guide
Chapter 2: Your Keypad
As a security system user, you will perform most operations using the
keypad. This section discusses the keypad's visual indicators and the
use of its keys.
The keypad’s type is LCD Proximity Keypad. It has the ability to
sense when a proximity key tag is near it thus providing the user with a
friendly and easy way to set or unset the security system (Refer to
Chapter 12, Proximity Keypad, page 56).
Each keypad in the system is assigned to a particular partition,
meaning that commands entered in a keypad are implemented only in
the partition to which it is assigned. For example, pressing the Quick
on a keypad assigned to partition 1 sets only partition 1.
The keypad
Each keypad in your system reports its status via its 6 LED (lighted)
indicators at the left, as described on page 12 or via messages
displayed on the LCD. Using its keys, you can enter commands to set
and unset the system, omit intrusion zones, report emergencies, and
so on, as described in the subsequent chapters of this manual.
NOTE:
For detailed information regarding the Touchscreen keypad, refer to the
ProSYS Touchscreen Keypad Instruction manual that is included with the
product.
LED Indicators
The six LED indicators found at the upper left provide typical system
indications, as discussed below. Some indicators have additional
functions, which are explained later on.
NOTE:
If required, setting the keypad to Hidden LCD mode can hide the system status.
In this mode, the Set, Ready and Omit LEDs do not function, and the LCD
displays ENTER CODE: After entering a valid user code, the system displays
the Normal Operation mode. One minute after the last operation, the system
automatically switches to Hidden LCD mode.
