Speed Key (Macros)

General Information

The "A", "B", "C", and "D" keys can be used to activate a string of commands
up to 32 keystrokes each. These commands are known as a macro and are
stored in the system's memory. Typical Speed Key functions include:
•
Arming sequences that involve first bypassing certain zones before
arming.
•
Seldom used but repeatable sequences.
•
Relay activation sequences.
NOTE: If a macro includes an arming sequence and the user executing it has
global arming, all partitions the user can global arm will arm.

Defining

To program a macro, enter your user code + [#] + [D]. The following appears:
ENTER SPEED KEY #
01-32
Enter the 2-digit Speed Key number (01-32) being defined and press [*].
Enter up to 32 keystrokes.
commands. Press the "D" key to separate different commands. For example,
you may want to perform the following sequence.
GOTO partition 2...................... Enter *2
Bypass zones 10 & 11 ............... Press bypass [6], then the zone numbers 010
Arm in maximum mode............ Press maximum [4] key
Return to partition 1 ................ Enter *1
To program that Speed Key sequence, type the following:
*2 D 6010011 D 4 D *1 D D
Note that the "D" key is pressed after each command. Press "D" twice to
complete the entry and exit.
NOTE: When defining Speed Key sequences, do not use the [#] key to
represent Quick Arming. The system uses the code entered in response to
the prompt to initiate commands in a Speed Key sequence, so the quick arm
key is unnecessary. The system interprets the use of the [#] key in a Speed
Key sequence as its designated function only.
