Alternate Menu Option #3: Manual Control Enable
This option provides security on the panel control buttons by requiring the user to enter a passcode or activate a
key switch before a specific button will operate. This “manual control” feature is set up using the Configurator,
and can affect any number of control buttons. Selecting the Enable Required option in the Command Menu or
turning the key switch allows you to activate and deactivate this feature.
Selecting Manual Control Enable from the Menu
To select the Enable Required option, you must be in the Command Menu. To enter the Command Menu, press
when the display is in normal mode.
The display will now show the message “Manual control enabled” while in normal mode, and the panel will be in
a trouble condition. To check which annunciator manual control was enabled on, press the button. To
disable manual control, follow the same steps outlined above.
Selecting manual control enable using a key switch
You can set up the MMX

normal mode, and the panel will be in a trouble condition. To check which annunciator manual control was
enabled on, press the button. To disable manual control, reset the key switch.
