the system is armed. The system will display a listing of all bypassed
zones. After all bypassed zones are displayed, the system exits the
Function Menu and returns to its normal display.
DISPLAY SYSTEM TRBL
Will display only if system troubles are present. The panel is constantly
monitoring its own components, as well as all critical services, such as
AC power, to ensure that it is always ready to provide the protection for
which it was designed. If one of these components should fail, the key-
pad will caution you by displaying "SYS TBL" and beeping the keypad
U
buzzer. Press to display a listing of all system troubles. After all
system troubles are displayed, the system exits the Function Menu and

all zones are displayed, the system exits the Function Menu and returns
to its normal display.
ACTIVATE BELL TEST
Enter this command to turn on the Bell, keypad sounder and keypad
LEDs for 2 seconds. The battery is tested during a Bell Test, and
automatically every 24 hours* to ensure proper battery operation under
load. The Alarm output requires a battery in order to supply the
specified output. If the battery cannot sustain the load, a low battery
indication will be displayed. A battery test is also performed on power-
up after a 3 minute delay. *Note: A battery test occurs every 4 hours
when Household Fire [96-3] has been selected. A keypad shortcut of
R 1 can be used to activate the Bell Test.
ACTIVATE DIALER TEST
If activated in the Keypad Configuration Mode, activating the dialer test
sends a communicator dialer test to the central station.
communication failure will be indicated at the keypad by a system
trouble "FAIL TO COMM" display. Repeat the test to attempt to correct
a communication failure, as any successful communication will clear

pad Configuration Mode (page 2, Dialer Test Opt) if used with this
panel.

and when "DEACTIVATE CHIME" is displayed, press
Chime Mode is disabled while armed.
DEACTIVATE KEYPAD SOUNDER
The keypad sounder is a local warning device at each keypad. This
command turns the keypad sounder ON or OFF. When the keypad is
deactivated, all keypad sounds will be silenced except for keypad
feedback beeps. The keypad sounder may activate under the following
conditions: (a) entry delay has started; (b) an attempt was made to arm
with a zone in trouble; (c) 10 seconds exit time remaining (only if Exit/
Entry with Urgency is enabled at the panel [21-2]); (d) invalid code
entered; or (e) system troubles and alarms.
ACTIVATE EASY EXIT
EASY EXIT provides one button arming for non-security critical
premises. Must be programmed in panel in order to function. Select
Easy Arming for each Keypad. Disarming still requires a valid user
code. To arm press and hold

R 0
Easy Arm function [22-2] at panel). Do not program in UL Installations.
This feature will not appear unless Easy Exit Option is enabled in Key-
pad Configuration Mode.
ACTIVATE PROGRAM
Activates the USER PROGRAM MODE. Your dealer has programmed
into your system a special User Program Code. This code can be used
to not only Arm and Disarm the system, but also to enter PROGRAM
MODE, where you can program other User Codes. See USER PRO-
GRAM MODE, below, for a full explanation of the features available
within this mode. Note: This feature is disabled while armed or while
reporting (unless reporting occurs within first 3 minutes of panel power-
up from a cold start).
ACTIVATE ACCESS
Will display only if Keypad PGM Opt is enabled in the Keypad Configu-
ration Mode. Pressing [ENTER] will cause the keypad (–) PGM Output
(brown wire) to enable an active low voltage output. In addition, if Ac-
cess Output [23-2]* is enabled in the panel, the panel PGM will enable
an active low output. When activated, the Access Control Message will
appear on the keypad and the output will remain active low voltage for
approximately 7 seconds.
*Access Output is not available in all GEM-Series Panels. Note: These
systems have not been investigated by UL for compliance with UL294
(Access Control Systems).
ACTIVATE FAULT FIND
This troubleshooting aid will help the installer locate swingers. When
accessed, two things occur:
The loop response of each zone is set for the fastest response time.
Causing or repairing a fault activates the sounder for about 1
second.
Tapping and poking at suspect points, the installer can easily locate
swingers by listening for the beep. This eliminates the need of returning
to the keypad to visually check after each attempt. Press
restore normal operation. Arming the system automatically cancels the
Fault Find Mode. Note: When testing wireless systems, the keypad
will not beep if the signal strength is less than 3. Note: This feature is
disabled while armed or within first 3 minutes of panel power-up from a
cold start.
ACTIVATE DOWNLOAD
