The "A", "B", "C" or "D" keys can be used to automatically activate a series of
commands of up to 16 keystrokes, if programmed for this function. These keystrokes,
as a group, are called "macros" and are stored in the system's memory.
• Typical macro functions can include:
- Arming sequences: STAY, Night-STAY, INSTANT, or AWAY
- Bypassing particular zone(s)
- Activating relay(s) for turning on (or off) lights, fans, etc.
• One macro can be assigned.
• Macros can be activated only by users with authority levels authorized to
perform the macro's function.
NOTE: The installer must activate the desired function key before macros can be
assigned. See the chart at the back of this manual for the key(s) assigned for macros.
1.
(Master Code)
If a macro has been previously defined, the
keystrokes are shown on the bottom line of the
display, otherwise the display is blank.
To exit this mode (and keep the existing macro
definition), press any key except the [∗] key. The
system returns to normal mode.
To define a macro for the selected key, press [∗]
and continue with the next prompt.
2. Enter the first of the series of desired commands,
(do not include your master code), then press/hold
the "D" key for at least two seconds to complete the
first command. This key terminates each
command, and appears as an "F" in the keypad
display.
