Programming Macro Keys
LightSYS enables the installer or grand master to record a series of keystrokes and assign
them to a macro. When the macro is pressed, the recorded commands are executed from
beginning to end. Up to four macros can be programmed to a system using the LightSYS
keypad or the LightSYS Configuration Software.
Notes:

The default function for all function keys is group arming, as described
on page 16. If group setting is used, this option is not available.

Macros cannot be programmed to perform disarming commands.
Before programming a function key, it is recommended to note the keystroke sequence.
These keys will be entered in the form of characters in step 5 (below) of the procedure for
programming the macro key.
