FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYPAD

1.

ALPHA DISPLAY WINDOW: A 2-line, 32-character Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD). Displays protection point
identification and system status, messages, and user
instructions.

2.

OFF KEY: Disarms the burglary portion of the system,

silences alarms and audible trouble indicators, and clears
visual alarm trouble after the problem has been corrected.

3.

AWAY KEY: Completely arms both perimeter and

interior burglary protection for backup protection by
sensing an intruder's movements through protected
interior areas as well as guarding protected doors,
windows, etc. Late arrivals can enter through an entry
delay zone without causing an alarm if the system is
disarmed before the entry delay time expires.

4.

STAY KEY: Arms the perimeter burglary protection,

guarding protected doors, windows and other perimeter
protection points, and sounds an alarm if one is opened.
Interior protection is not armed, which allows movement
within your house without causing an alarm. Late arrivals
can enter through an entry delay zone without causing an
alarm if the system is disarmed before the entry delay time
expires.

5.

TEST KEY: Tests the system and alarm sounder if

disarmed.

6.

BYPASS

KEY:

Temporarily removes individual protec-

tion zones from being monitored by the system. Displays
previously bypassed protection zones.

7.

CHIME KEY: Turns CHIME mode on & off. When on,

any entry through a protected delay or perimeter zone
while the system is disarmed will cause a tone to sound at
the Keypad(s).

8.

#

KEY:

Permits ARMING of the system without use

of a security code ("Quick Arm", if programmed).

9.

KEYS 0–9: Used to enter individual security access
code(s).

10.

CODE KEY: Allows the entry of additional user codes

that can be given to other users of the system.

11.

READY KEY: When depressed prior to arming the

system, the keypad will display all open protection zones
within the keypad's home partition. This key is also used to
display all zone descriptors that have been programmed
for your system, by holding the key down for at least 5
seconds.

12.

INSTANT KEY: Arms in manner similar to STAY mode,

but turns off the entry delay period, offering greater
security while inside and not expecting any late arrivals.
An alarm will occur immediately upon opening any
perimeter protection point, including entry delay zones.

13.

MAXIMUM KEY: Arms in manner similar to AWAY

mode, but eliminates the entry delay period, thus providing
maximum protection. An alarm will occur immediately upon
opening any protection point, including entry delay zones.
