Speed Key [D] (Macros) - ADEMCO VISTA-128B Installation And Setup Gude

For the panic functions to be of practical value, the system must be connected to a central station.

Speed Key [D] (Macros)

The system supports up to 32 Speed Key (macro) commands. A Speed Key command is a
series of keystrokes stored in the system memory and activated when a programmed lettered
key is pressed. Each Speed Key command can include 32 keystrokes. Typical Speed Key
functions include:
• Arming sequences that involve first bypassing certain zones before arming.
• Seldom-used but repeatable sequences.
• Relay activation sequences.
Lettered keys A-B-C can be assigned a specific Speed Key function by entering a Speed Key
number (1-32) in field 1*26.
Programming Speed Key Sequence
To program a macro, enter your [User Code] + [#] + [D]. The following appears:
ENTER SPEED KEY #
01-32
Enter the 2-digit Speed Key number (01-32) being defined and press [*]. Enter up to 32
keystrokes. A Speed Key sequence can include different commands. Press the "D" key to
separate different commands.
For example, you may want to perform the following sequence:
Desired function
GOTO partition 2
Bypass Zones 10 & 11
Arm in Maximum Mode
Return to Partition 1
To program that Speed Key sequence, type the following :
*2 D 6010011 D 4 D *1 D D
Note that the "D" key is pressed after each command. Press "D" twice to complete the entry
and exit.
When defining Speed Key sequences, do not use the [#] key to represent Quick Arming. The
system uses the code entered in response to the prompt to initiate commands in a Speed Key
sequence, so the quick arm key is unnecessary. The system interprets the use of the [#] key in a
Speed Key sequence as its designated function only (e.g. #2 is not interpreted as "Arm-AWAY,"
but rather as "Enter House ID Sniffer Mode").
Executing Speed Key Sequence
To execute a Speed Key sequence, do the following:
If a lettered key, A-B-C, has been assigned as a Speed Key, press the appropriate key. If a
user code is required for any part of the Speed Key sequence, the following prompt appears.
Otherwise, the Speed Key sequence automatically begins.
00=QUIT
Keystrokes
Enter *2
Press bypass [6], then the zone numbers 010 & 011
Press maximum [4] key
Enter *1
