Panic Keys

There are three Panic keys (A, B, and C) that, if programmed, can be used to manually initiate
alarms and send a report to the central station. Each key can be programmed for 24-hour Silent, 24-
hour Audible, Fire, or Personal Emergency responses. The programmed Panic response is activated
when the appropriate key is pressed for at least 2 seconds. The Panic keys are identified as follows:
Keys
[A] (∗/1)
[B] (∗/#)
[C] (3/#)
IMPORTANT: For a Silent panic function (if programmed) to be of practical value, you must
program a report code for the zone and the system must be connected to a central station.

Description
Pressing any key will silence the keypad sounder for 10 seconds. Disarming the
system will silence both keypad and external sounders.
If enabled (field ∗21), you can press [#] in place of the system's security code, plus
the desired arming key (Away, Stay, Instant, Maximum)
If programmed (*57 Function Key menu mode), lettered keys A-D can be used for
arming, using options 3-AWAY, 4-STAY, 5-NIGHT-STAY, or 6-Step-Arming
If used, no security code is required to arm the system.
When the system is disarmed, any zones that were in an alarm condition during the
armed period will be displayed. To clear this display, simply repeat the disarm
sequence (enter the security code and press the OFF key) again.
Enter code + AWAY [2] or simply press appropriate lettered key on the keypads (see
"Single-Button Arming" above). If the "Auto-Stay Arm" feature is enabled and the
entry/exit door is not opened and closed within the programmed exit delay time,
the system will automatically arm in STAY mode if armed from a wired keypad
(non-RF device). If the door is opened and closed within the exit delay period, the
system arms in AWAY mode.
Enter code + STAY [3] or simply press appropriate key on the keypads (see "Single-
Button Arming" above). See "Arming Away" above for Auto-Stay arming feature.
Enter code + STAY [3] + STAY [3] or simply press appropriate key on the keypads
(see "Single-Button Arming" above).
Enter code + INSTANT [7].
Enter code + MAXIMUM [4] or simply press appropriate lettered key on the
keypads (see "Single-Button Arming" above).
Enter code + OFF [1]. If entry delay or an alarm is active, you do not need to press
OFF; entering the security code alone disarms the system.
Enter code + BYPASS [6] + zone number(s). Can bypass while system
armed/disarmed.
To automatically bypass all faulted zones, use the "Quick Bypass" method. Enter
code + BYPASS + [#], then wait for all open zones to be displayed. Arm when
display indicates "ZONE BYPASSED" and "READY TO ARM".
Enter code + CHIME [9]. To turn chime off, enter code + CHIME again.
If relay outputs (via a 4204, 4229, or 6164), or Powerline Carrier devices are used,
two keypad entries available to the user are included. If programmed, these entries
can be used to manually activate or deactivate the device(s) for starting or stopping
some action, such as turning lights on or off, etc. These keypad entries are:
[Security Code] + # + 7 + [2-digit Device #] activates (starts) that device.
[Security Code] + # + 8 + [2-digit Device #] deactivates (stops) that device.
