Partition "GOTO" Commands

Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will show only that
partition's information. To see information for another partition, or perform system functions
in another partition, use the GOTO command ([User Code] + [ ] + [partition number 1-
2]). The keypad will remain in the new partition until directed to go to another partition, or
until 120 seconds has elapsed with no keypad activity. To return to the home partition, enter
[ ] + [Partition number 0].
Program data field 2 18 must be programmed to enable the GOTO function. This is a partition-
specific field that must be set for each partition the user wants to access from another partition's
keypad.

Viewing Capabilities of a User

The keypad will display the partitions that a user is authorized for, the user number, and the
authority level for all partitions authorized. Enter [User Code] + [ ] + [ ]. The user's
capabilities in each authorized partition will typically be displayed as follows:
Part. 1 A0
User 01 Auth.=1G.

Viewing Zone Descriptors

The alpha keypads can display all programmed descriptors, which is useful to the installer
when checking entries, and can be helpful to the user when there is a need to identify zones.
To display descriptors, the system must be disarmed and ready to arm. Press and
hold the READY key until the built-in instructions for that key appear, then release the key.
The zone descriptors will appear one at a time, for about 2-3 seconds each. For faster
viewing, press the READY key to display the next descriptor in numerical order, and so on.
When all descriptors have been displayed, the control will exit Display Mode. Enter the
Security Code and press the OFF key to exit Display Mode before all descriptors have been
displayed.

Viewing Downloaded Messages

Users may occasionally receive a message from their installation company displayed on an
alpha keypad. When this occurs, the keypad will display the following message: MESSAGE.
Press 0 for 5 secs. Instruct the user to press and hold the 0 key to display the central
station's message. Note that the system must be in the READY state to view these
messages.

Using the Built-in User's Manual

An abbreviated User's Manual is stored in the system's memory, and can be particularly
useful to the end user if the printed User's Manual is not conveniently accessible when the
user needs to perform a seldom-used and unfamiliar system procedure. The Built-in User's
Guide is displayed by simply pressing any of the function keys (e.g., OFF, AWAY, STAY,
MAXIMUM, BYPASS, INSTANT, CODE, TEST, READY, #, and CHIME) for approximately
5 seconds and then releasing it. Abbreviated instructions relative to the key that has been
pressed will then be displayed (2 lines of text are displayed at a time). This function operates
in either the armed or the disarmed state.

following the authority level. If Open/Close is not enabled for a
user, the dot will not appear.
