Terms of the Trade

Better understanding of your system is assured if you
take time to read the definitions in APPENDIX A at
the end of this manual. However, if this is not your
first alarm system, then simply read on.

Control Pushbuttons

When the keypad cover is closed, as shown in
Figure 1, only two pushbuttons are visible - the top
panel controls:
Key Task
Advance from item to item within a given
menu.
Review status messages one by one
and also select a displayed option.
With the keypad uncovered (see Figure 4), the
special-function keys are visible. The tasks of these
keys are explained in the relevant sections of this
guide.

Multi-Function Transmitter

Your system responds to signals sent by a 4-button
miniature 'keyfob' transmitter (MCT- 234) that you
and other users can carry. The function of each key
is indicated in Figure 3 on the right. Your installer can
program the AUX (auxiliary) button to perform
various tasks, as required.

(without an entry delay): Pressing the AUX button
immediately after arming, during exit delay,

Disarming by a keyfob whose battery voltage is
low:

battery voltage is low, a protest beep will be heard
for 15 seconds (if this beep is enabled by the
installer). During this period you should press again
the disarm button of the keyfob or control panel (for
the control panel, user code is required) to disarm
the system. If you perform this action during the 15
seconds period, the Low Bat message will be stored
in the event log.
If the disarm button is not pressed again during the
15 seconds period, perform either of the following
actions:
