INTRODUCTION
1.8 Keypads
DMP offers multiple keypads in a variety of styles. All DMP keypads provide the same programming
capabilities. Each keypad and its operation are shown and described in the following sections.
1.9 Special Keys
The following special keys/areas are common to all DMP keypads.
COMMAND (CMD) Key
Pressing the COMMAND key allows you to go forward through the programming menu and through each
step of a programming sec tion. As you go through the programming, the keypad display shows any current
programming already stored in the panel memory. If no change is required for a prompt, press the
COMMAND key to advance to the next step.
The COMMAND key is also used to enter information into the panel’s memory such as phone numbers or
zone names. Press the COMMAND key after entering information.
Back Arrow (<—) Key
Use the Back Arrow key to back up one step while programming. The Back Arrow key is also used when
an error is made while entering in formation. Press the Back Arrow key once to erase the last character
entered.
Select Keys/Areas
The top row of keys are called the Select keys on Security Command, Thinline, and Aqualite keypads.
Each time you need to press a Select key, the keypad displays the function or options above one of the
keys or in the Select Area. Displaying choices above individual Select keys or in Select Areas allows them
to be used for many different applications. For example, you can enter AM or PM when programming the
automatic test time or answer YES or NO for a system option.
During programming, the Select keys/areas also allow you to change infor mation currently in panel
memory by pressing the appropriate Select key/area under or on the display. You then enter the new
information using the keypad data entry digit keys.
When there are more than four re sponse options avail able, press the COMMAND key to display the next one
to four options. Pressing the Back Arrow key allows you to review the previous four choices.
The Select keys/areas are also used for choosing a section from the pro gramming menu. Press any Select
key or touch the Select Area when the programming section name you want displays.
Note: On Wireless, Thinline and Aqualite keypads, when instructed to press the first Select key, press the
far left Select key; the second Select key is the second from the left; third Select key is second from the
right; and the fourth Select key is the far right key. See Figures 5.
1.10 Entering Alpha Characters
Some options during programming require you to enter alpha characters. To enter an alpha character,
press or touch the key that has that letter written below it. The keypad displays the number digit of the
key. Next, press the Select key/area that corresponds
to the loca tion of the letter under the key. Pressing a
different Select key/area changes the letter. When an-
other digit key is pressed, the last letter displayed is
retained and the process starts over.
