Keypad Time-Out; Keypad Blanking; Fire, Auxiliary And Panic Keys; Keypad Lockout - DSC Maxsys PC4020 Installation Manual

On each keypad, you can program each function key so
that users will need to enter an access code before the
panel performs the function. To do this, turn on the 'Funct.
X Code' toggle option for that key. The default setting is
OFF for each key.
NOTE: Some function key types will require an access
code entry regardless of the programming in this sec-
tion. See section 6.11 'Function Key Programming' for
more information.

6.4 Keypad Time-out

Ref #: [00020302]
Both global and partition keypads can be 'loaned' to other
partitions on the system. When a user selects another par-
tition, the keypad will display 'Accessing [Partition
Label]' and will operate as a partition keypad from the
selected partition.
The amount of time that a loaned keypad will wait before
returning to its home partition (or, in the case of global
keypads, to its global mode) can be programmed. The
Keypad Time-out will begin after the last keypress is
made. To program the timer, enter reference number
[00020302]. Valid entries are from 020-255 seconds. Do not
program the Keypad Time-out for less than 020 seconds.
If your users will have access to audio help (using the
PC4936 and Escort4580 modules) you should increase the
Keypad Time-out setting to 60 seconds or more. This will
allow enough time for the system to announce the help
messages. The default setting is 020 seconds.

6.5 Keypad Blanking

Ref #: [000200]
When the Keypad Blanking toggle option is enabled, all
partition keypad lights – including the display – will turn
off. The keypad lights and display will remain off until a
key is pressed. If the Keypad Blanking Requires Code
option is enabled, the user will be required to enter their
access code in order for the keypad lights and display to
turn on.
To program these options, enter reference number
[000200] and scroll to the following items. Use the [*] to
toggle each option on or off.
