Reading Binary Values
Values within a data program location will be displayed by the zone LEDs in binary coded decimal format i.e.
zone LEDs 1-4 indicate units (ones) and zone LEDs 5-8 indicate tens (tens), and so on. To read a binary value on
the keypad, add up the values represented by each lit LED as shown in Table 2.
Table 2: Values Represented by each Zone LED
EXAMPLE:
Imagine the following zone LEDs are on: Zone 1, Zone 3 and Zone 5.
Units are represented by the sum of Zone 1 and Zone 3 (i.e. 1 + 4).
Tens of units are represented by the value of Zone 5 (i.e. 1 x ten).
Therefore, the displayed value is (1+4) + (10) = 15.
Values within a time program location are displayed in a similar format as per Table 3.

Using an LCD keypad means that data and time information can be read directly without a need to convert.
Entering Data on an LED Keypad
Data is easily entered on a keypad. Below is a list of keys and their functions.
[*] – This key is used as an enter key, to confirm the data that you have inputted. It is also used to scroll to the
next sub-location.
[#] – This key is used to clear data that is incorrect. It can also be used to exit a programming option.
[F] – This key is used if there is a fire emergency. If programmed to do so, the fire reporting code will be sent to
your monitoring company.
[M] – This key is used if there is a medical emergency. If programmed to do so, the medical reporting code will
be sent to your monitoring company.
[P] – This key is used if there is an emergency situation that requires emergency personnel to respond. A panic
alarm will be transmitted to your monitoring company.
[0] to [9] – Keys marked 1 through 9, and including 0, are used to input data into the programming options.
