If you change any value for a suite-security keypad,
this will cause that unit to be reset to its default /
scheduled state and arming level (this allows
configuration updates to be managed properly). As
such, configuration changes to active units should be
done only by arrangement with the occupant.

Notice: Suite-security keypads are NOT associated
with any system 'Areas' or related schedules or
settings. As well, these units are NOT associated
with the module screen. All settings that affect suite-
security-keypad operation are defined here. As well,
suite/keypad alarms are monitored only through the
Director software.
Note: Suite-security keypads and "Communities"
(Shared Users) are not supported at the same time.
Suite-Security Keypads
Suite-security keypad modules provide
security and monitoring features for individual
apartments or offices (up to 60 per main
panel).
There are different types of suite-security
keypads:
Newer models (V4.4): These keypads support 4
monitored sensors (zones/inputs), one
programmable output, and 3 'panic keys'. Uses
custom input circuit types. Future: A reader may
be built-in, or supported externally.
8-zone: This version supports 8 monitored
sensors (inputs), 2 programmable outputs, and 3
'panic keys'.
2-zone: The more affordable 2-zone units support
2 monitored sensors/inputs, one panic key, and
one programmable output.
Two-zone units require panel firmware V3.2 or higher.
With 8-zone units, panel firmware v2.7 or V3.2 (or
higher) is recommended.
Suite-security keypads can be mixed with other
modules if desired (the suite capacity is reduced by 5
for each system LCD keypad, and each other
expansion / application module added.
Support for suite-security keypads requires a 'feature-
set' selection of 5 or higher (via Enterprise software
licensing).
