KEYPAD EMERGENCY KEYS
Pressing the emergency keys (e.g., FALCDKP pressing 1/3, 7/9, or ∗/# at same time) initiates a
CS transmission, if programmed, of programmed functions (e.g., PANIC, AUXILIARY or
FIRE), and causes annunciation of the keypad sounder and turns on the bell output.
See the "Keypad Emergency Conditions" paragraph for alternate auxiliary keys.

The sounder (or loudspeaker) housed inside the keypad, emits (annunciates) sounds
according to the condition of the security system.

The keypad is NOT operational if none of the LEDs are lit and the keypad does not beep when

of this manual.
A short chirp confirms each keystroke.
A steady sound during entry time, and/or during burglary alarm.
Steady 1 second tone (SYSTEM DISARMED ONLY).
Upon successful entry of certain commands, the system will sound
for approximately half a second.
A pulsing sound (approximately half a second ON then OFF)
indicates a trouble condition such as AC loss, Low Battery, or Fire
Trouble.
Upon entry of an illegal command the keypad will sound four short
beeps. For example, if attempting to define a new user and the
master user is not entered, four short beeps will be made indicating
that the command was unsuccessful.

central station. This occurs for all signals, excluding ambush and
silent zones.

condition has occurred and the system reached bell cutoff. A pulsing
sounder will follow the bell output on fire conditions. Trouble

through entry of a valid user code.
