9.8 Function Keys

The function keys on the 6820EVS or 6860 only have multiple features. Their macro key functionality can simplify the disabling, activating,
or inhibiting points or groups respectively. They can also be used as a status type activation event and for activating Map Inhibit. Each F-Key
macro can hold 50 events.
To access the F-Key Recording menu:
1. From the idle screen, press and hold the F-Key for 5 seconds.
2. Enter a PIN with F-Key macro recording privileges, if prompted.
9.8.1 Recording an F-Key Macro
1. Access the F-Key Recording menu and select the 'Start FKEY Recording' option.
2. The panel will return to the idle screen. Notice the 4th line on the display now alternates with "F# Key Recording", where # is the
number of the F-Key being recorded.
3. Any Disabling or Activating of points, output groups, or templates from the site at this point will be programmed into the macro. Do
this by going to any annunciator within the site and entering Main Menu > Point Functions and use Disable/Enable Point or use I/O
Point Control to: disable output groups or individual points, or activate individual points.
4. Once you are finished with disabling or activating points/output groups, enter the F-Key Recording Menu again and select the 'End F-
KEY Recording' option.
5. The panel will return to the idle screen.
9.8.2 Aborting an F-Key Macro Recording Session
1. After an F-Key macro recording session has been started, the session can be canceled at any time by accessing the F-Key Recording
menu and selecting 'Abort F-KEY Recording' option.
2. The panel will return to the idle screen.
9.8.3 Erasing an F-Key Macro
1. If an F-Key macro has already been recorded, you can erase it by accessing the F-Key Recording menu and selecting the 'Erase F-KEY
Macro' option.
2. The panel will return to the idle screen.
