Additional System Features
Partitioning 
Partitioning allows you to divide the system into three independently controllable areas with different users assigned to 
each partition whereby each user can arm the partition to which they are assigned. For detailed information on 
Partitioning, see APPENDIX B. 
Screen Saver 
For security reasons, it is sometimes required to hide the status 
indication (LCD and LED display) on the KP-250 PG2 
keypad from a potential intruder.  
When the Screen Saver option is enabled by the installer, then if no key is pressed for more than 10 seconds, the 
display will turn off and the LEDs will stop indicating any status. 
Pressing any key will resume the normal status display. Pressing the Fire, Emergency or Panic keys will also initiate the 
Fire, Emergency or Panic alarm. 
If configured by the installer for additional security, the system will ask you to enter your user code or to present your 
proximity tag before resuming the normal display. 
When partition is enabled, the installer can configure the system so that if no key is pressed during more than 30 
seconds the date and time will appear on the display. 
Proximity Tags 
Your system responds to valid proximity tags enrolled to the sy
stem. The proximity tag enables you to perform a variety 
of functions without entering a user code, for example, arming, disarming, reading the event log, etc.  
1. Whenever the user code is required, you can simply present a valid proximity tag and perform the desired operation
without the need to key-in your user code. 
- OR - 
2. When the system is disarmed and after presenting a valid proximity tag to the KP-250 PG2 keypad, the message
"<OK> for AWAY" is displayed. Now you can press the 
 button to immediately arm the system, or, press the 
 button once / twice – the message “<OK> for HOME” / “<OK> for disarm” is displayed – and then press the 
button for HOME arming / disarming.

Note: If you do not press the 
 button (wait for 3 seconds), the system automatically arms AWAY and the display 
will read "ARMING AWAY PLEASE EXIT NOW". Presenting the proximity tag once again will DISARM the system. 
Users and Codes 
Security codes are used mainly to arm and disarm the system or t
o access information that is restricted only to 
authorized users (see Chapter 6, section B.4, Programming User Codes).

partitions.
