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 Q21), 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).
Enter code + STAY [3] or simply press appropriate key on the keypads (see "Single-
Button Arming" above).
Enter code + STAY [3] + STAY [3] or simply press appropriate key on the keypads
(see "Single-Button Arming" above).

Enter code + MAXIMUM [4] or simply press appropriate lettered key on the
keypads (see "Single-Button Arming" above).
Enter code + OFF [1].
Enter code + BYPASS [6] + zone number(s).
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, or 4229), 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.
