D e v i c e T i m e r s
The system provides up to 20 "timers" that can be used to control various devices, such as lights or
appliances. These timers are similar in concept to the individual appliance timers that might be
purchased at a department store. The devices that can be controlled are programmed into the system
by the installer. Up to 96 of these devices can be programmed. Refer to the PROGRAMMING DEVICE
TIMERS section for procedures.

Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will show only that partition's
information. But, if the user is authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform system
functions in another partition, by using the GOTO command.
NOTE: Only those partitions authorized and programmed by the installer can be
manner.
To GOTO another partition, enter your USER CODE + [∗] + PARTITION # (1-8). The keypad will remain
in the new partition until directed to go to another partition, or until two minutes has elapsed with no
keypad activity. Entering your USER CODE + [∗] + [0] will return the keypad to its original partition.

A "Master" keypad is one on which the status of all eight partitions is displayed simultaneously. A user
can get more information about a certain partition by simply entering [∗] + PARTITION # (1-8).
To log on to the "Master" partition (9) using the GOTO command, and to perform any functions at a
Master keypad, a user must have access to all partitions.

Abbreviated user's instructions are built into the system that can be easily viewed on the alpha
keypad's message display screen. This feature will prove particularly useful if this manual is not
conveniently accessible when you need to perform a system procedure with which you are not familiar.

Viewing Abbreviated Messages

Simply press and hold down the function key of interest until the description starts to appear (about 5
seconds) and then release it. The system must be "READY TO ARM" to perform this function.
Refer to the FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYPAD section for descriptions of each key function.
