About The Keypads - First Alert FA160C User Manual

General Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature a
telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the
nature and location of all occurrences.
The keypads also feature a built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and
troubles. The keypads also "beep" during certain system functions, such as during
entry/exit delay times, in CHIME mode, and when depressing any of the keys (to
acknowledge the key press).
There are two basic types of keypads – a Fixed-Word keypad and an Alpha key-
pad (both described below). Fixed-Word and Alpha keypads are functionally the
same, even though they have different types of displays.
2-Line Alpha Keypad 2-line Alpha keypads feature a 2-line, 32-character alphanumeric LCD which can
display system messages in friendly English. These keypads can also be
programmed with custom zone descriptors. The screen displays depicted
throughout this manual are examples of displays that would typically appear
on a 2-line Alpha keypad.
1-Line Alpha Keypad 1-line Alpha keypads feature a 16-character alphanumeric LCD which can display
system messages in friendly English. Messages are the same as those for 2-line
Alpha keypads, but are displayed one line at a time. To view the second line of the
message, simply press the
or wait 3 seconds.
After pressing the
Fixed-Word Keypad Fixed-Word keypads are functionally identical to Alpha keypads, but the LCD display
uses pre-designated words to identify the nature and location of occurrences.
Fixed-Word keypads are available with two styles of displays, "A" or "B" (see page
11), depending on keypad used.
