Touchpads—Your System Interface
There is a broad range of touchpads that can be used with your panel—from a single-button panic
sensor which sends only panic alarms, to an alphanumeric touchpad that displays text and allows
extensive user programming (see Figure 3).
Figure 3. Touchpads

Alphanumeric Touchpads

Alphanumeric touchpads are mounted on a wall and communicate by displaying text on a two-
line display.

Fixed Display Touchpads

Fixed English (display) touchpads communicate using lighted text, LEDs, and an 11 character
display.

Wireless Handheld Touchpad

This touchpad is wireless and can be carried from room to room. Users can even turn on and off
system controlled lights from anywhere in the home.

Keychain Touchpads

Keychain touchpads are handy for simple arming and disarming functions. They are wireless and
can be carried off-site in a purse or pocket.
The installer can program specific buttons or button combinations to operate a gate or garage
door, or to send a Police or Auxiliary panic alarm.

Touchtone Phones

Your system can be set up to allow system operation from a Touchtone phone on- or off-site. This
includes arming and disarming, plus system features such as checking the system status and turn-
ing on and off lights.

Panic Buttons

Panic button touchpads are dedicated to sending only one signal— usually a Police or Auxiliary
panic alarm. These touchpads are wireless and usually kept near or on the user.
Beeps and LEDs— How Your System Talks to You
Touchpads and interior sirens produce a variety of operating beeps to inform you of different sys-
tem states and operations.

Key Beeps

A Key beep is the tone you hear when you press a button on an alphanumeric, fixed display, or
handheld wireless touchpad. The sound confirms that the button was pressed adequately. Key
Beeps can be turned on or off by the installer.

Status Beeps

Status beeps come from touchpads or speakers and are sounded when there is a change in the cur-
rent status of the system. Status beeps are not alarms, but they do warrant your attention.
There is more than one type of Status beep:
