About Macro Keys

The "A", "B", "C" or "D" keys can be used to automatically activate a series of commands of
up to 16 keystrokes, if programmed for this function. These keystrokes, as a group, are
called "macros" and are stored in the system's memory.
• Typical macro functions can include:
- Arming sequences: STAY, NIGHT-STAY, INSTANT, or AWAY
- Bypassing particular zone(s)
- Activating relay(s) for turning on (or off) lights, fans, etc.
• Up to four macros can be assigned – but no more than one macro to a key.
• Macros can be activated only by users with authority levels authorized to perform
the macro's function.
NOTE: The installer must activate the desired function key (using *57 Function
key Menu Mode) before macros can be assigned.
See the chart at the back of this manual for the key(s) assigned for macros.

(Master Code)
2. Enter the macro number (1-4) to be programmed at the
"Select Macro?" prompt. Remember, only one macro can
be assigned to each key.
3. If a macro has been previously defined, the keystrokes
are shown on the bottom line of the display; otherwise the
display is blank.
To exit this mode (and keep the existing macro
definition), press any key except the [∗] key. The system
returns to normal mode.
To define a macro for the selected key, press [∗] and
continue with the next prompt.
Enter the first of the series of desired commands, (do not
include your master code), then press/hold the "D" key for
at least two seconds to complete the first command. This
key terminates each command, and appears as an "F" in
the keypad display.
