Default Screen (Custom Message Display)

Normally, when the system is in the disarmed state, the following display is present on the keypad.

****DISARMED****

READY TO ARM

Part or all of the above message can be modified to create a custom installer message for each partition. For example,

“****DISARMED****” on the first line or “READY TO ARM” on the second line could be replaced by the installation company name or phone number for service.

Note: There are only 16 character spaces on each of the two lines. To create a custom display message, proceed as follows:

1.Select Default Screen mode.

The keypad asks for the partition number for this message. Enter the partition number. Press [✱] to accept entry.

The following display appears:

****DISARMED****

READY TO ARM

A cursor is present at the extreme left of the first line (over the first "star"). Press 6 to move the cursor to the right and 4 to move the cursor to the left. Press 7 to insert spaces or erase existing characters.

2.Create the message.

For example, to replace “READY TO ARM” with the message “SERVICE 424-0177,” proceed as follows:

Press 6 to move the cursor to the right, and continue until the cursor is positioned over the first location on the second line.

Press 3 to advance through the alphabet to the first desired character (in this case, "S"). Press 1 to go backward, when necessary. When the desired character is reached, press 6.

The cursor then moves to the next position, ready for entry of the next character (in this example, "E"). When the cursor reaches a position over an existing character, press 3 or 1 to advance or back up from that character in the alphabet. Proceed in this manner until all characters in the message have been entered.
