Keyswitch/push-button arming/disarming (PS1)
In parallel to keypads, a keyswitch or push button can be used to arm/disarm the system. (The Esprit
PS1 can be installed in bedrooms or any other desired location.) Keyswitch/push button operation is
enabled/disabled at address 086, key [3]. Keyswitch can activate "regular" or "stay" arming, based on the
definition assigned at address 086, key [2]. (key [2] "off" = "regular" arming, key [2] "on" = "stay" arming)
If "stay" arming is activated, the keyswitch/push button (PS1) cannot be used to disarm the system if it is
in entry delay or if an alarm has been generated. In this case, the system can only be disarmed from a
keypad. (When partitioning is activated, the keyswitch can be used to arm/disarm System "A" regardless
of System "B" status. Pressing key [11] will arm System "A".) Pressing two keys on the PS1 simultane-
ously for 2 seconds will generate a "panic 1" alarm. (See "Keypad (Panic) Alarms", below).

ZONE BYPASSING

Bypassed zones will not generate an alarm. Manual bypass arming is employed when a system user
chooses not to arm the entire protected area. Only zones that have been defined as "bypass enabled"
(addresses 124, 126) can be selected by the user (addresses 074, 076, 078) during manual bypass arm-
ing. To bypass zones, enter [
on, it indicates that the zone has been bypassed. Pressing [
ly bypassed zones and exits the bypass mode. Zones to be bypassed should then be re-entered. If
bypass information is correct, press [
key will remain illuminated, indicating that some zones have been bypassed. To cancel the zone bypass
"status" just entered, press [
celled every time the system is disarmed, except in "24 hour" zones. If a "24 hour" zone is bypassed and
the system is subsequently disarmed, the "24 hour" zone will remain bypassed.
Note: If partitioning is used, zones assigned to the other system cannot be bypassed if the system is armed.

Bypass Recall

This feature permits system users to reinstate the latest zone bypass instructions saved in memory. By
pressing [
] while in bypass programming mode, previous bypass status is re-established. Even if a user is
BYP
in the process of entering new bypass information on keypad, one touch of the [
mation and reinstates the preceding zone bypass instructions saved. (The fire zone cannot be bypassed.)

CHIME ZONES

(applies only to 616, 626, 629 and 633 keypads)
Chime zones report a presence (movement or door opening) in selected zones by emitting a distinctive, rapid
intermittent beep. Each keypad is independently "chime" programmed and must be reprogrammed in the
event of total power loss. To enable a zone's chime feature on a LED keypad, press the desired zone key
from [1] to [6] until a rapid intermittent beep is heard. To enable the chime feature of the keypad zone con-
nected to the particular LED keypad, use key [8]. To disable a zone's chime feature on a LED keypad, press
on the appropriate key until a steady beep is heard. To disable the LED keypad sounder (mute), press key [9].

KEYPAD (PANIC) ALARMS

These panels provide three keypad "panic" zones. Keys must be pressed simultaneously for 2 seconds
in order to activate. (Pressing 2 keys on the PS1 for 2 seconds generates a "panic 1" alarm.)

TROUBLE DISPLAY/MONITORING

Trouble status is continuously monitored by the panels which can recognize and display 10 different trou-
ble conditions on the keypad or in Espload , and report 8 to the central station. (To send "trouble status
reports" to the central, 2-digit trouble report codes should be programmed.) When trouble conditions
occur, [
