General
Information
Arming/Disarming
Functions
Note that if you enabled QUICK ARM (field 21), the [#] key can be pressed
instead of entering the security code, for any of the arming procedures (Away,
Stay, Instant, Maximum, etc.). The security code is always required, however,
when disarming the system.
NOTE: The "Quick Arm" feature will function only if the Master Code has been
programmed (see Assigning the Master Code on the previous page).
The keypad allows the user to arm and disarm the system, and perform other
system functions, such as bypassing zones, and display zone descriptors.
Zone and system conditions (alarm, trouble, bypass) are displayed in the
Display Window.
When an alarm occurs, keypad sounding and external sounding will occur, and
the zone(s) in alarm will be displayed on the keypad. Pressing any key will
silence the keypad sounder for 10 seconds. Disarming the system will silence
both keypad and external sounders. When the system is disarmed, any zones
that were in an alarm condition during the armed period will be displayed
(memory of alarm). To clear this display, simply repeat the disarm sequence
(enter the security code and press the OFF key) again.
The keypads also feature chime annunciation, and 3 panic key pairs, or
individual panic keys (depending on keypad type – see Panic Keys on next
page), for silent, audible, fire or personal emergency alarms. These keys can
notify the central station of an alarm condition, if that service is connected.
