5.22 Keypad Blanking
If the Blank Keypad When Not in Use option is enabled, the panel will turn off all lights and LCDs on the keypads when no keys are pressed for 30 seconds. The keys, however, will remain backlit.
The panel will turn the lights and LCDs back on if entry delay begins or an audible alarm occurs. The lights and LCDs will also come on if a key is pressed or, if a valid access code is entered when the Code Required to Restore Blanking option is enabled.
NOTE: If using a PC5132 v3.0 or greater, and wireless keys, do not enable the Code Required to Restore Blanking option, as the keys will not function correctly.
If the Power Save Mode option is enabled the panel will blank all keypad lights including backlighting when AC power fails, in order to conserve the back up battery.

5.25 Keypad Tampers
If the Keypad Tampers Enable option is selected, the panel will display and transmit a General System Tamper reporting code if any keypad is removed from the wall. When the key- pad tamper is restored, the panel will transmit the General System Tamper Restoral reporting code. All keypads should be properly installed and secured before enabling this option. NOTE: The auto arm cancellation code is not transmitted when a reset is required because a user has not cancelled the auto- arming sequence.

5.26 LINKS1000 Cellular Communicator*
The LINKS1000 Cellular Communicator can be used three dif- ferent ways:
•as the sole communicator for the panel
•as a backup for either or both telephone numbers
•as a redundant backup to the land line communicator, where the panel will call using the land line and the LINKS.
A LINKS Preamble is programmable for each telephone num- ber in the event that the land line number is local but the LINKS is required to dial an exchange. When programming a LINKS Preamble, all unused digits must be programmed with a hexadecimal “F”.
NOTE: If a LINKS1000 is connected to the system, make sure the Maximum Number of Dialing Attempts is programmed to be 008 or greater (section [160].
Using LINKS1000 as the Sole Communicator
The panel can be programmed to report an event only using the LINKS1000 cellular communicator. To program this option, select only the LINKS1000 in the Communicator Call Direction Options. The Call LINKS as well as Land Line option must also be enabled.
When the selected event occurs the panel will only attempt to call central station using the LINKS.
Using the LINKS1000 as a Backup Communicator The panel can be programmed to call using the LINKS1000 Cellular Communicator if the panel is having difficulty commu- nicating an event using the land line. To program this option, select both the telephone number and LINKS options in the Communicator Call Direction Options. The LINKS is Backup of Land Lines option must be selected.
When used as a backup communicator, the panel will attempt to call the central station in the following manner:
the panel will try to call using land lines – if unsuccessful, the panel will try to call using the LINKS
if unsuccessful, the panel will try to call using the land lines on the next dialing attempt
This process will continue until the panel has successfully communicated with the central station or until the panel’s pro- grammed number of dialing attempts have been exhausted.
Using the LINKS as a Redundant Communicator The panel can be programmed to call using first the LINKS1000 and then the land line when an event occurs. To program this option, select both the telephone number and the LINKS options for the Communicator Call Direction Options for the event. The Call LINKS as well as Land Line option must be selected.
LINKS Special Preamble
In some areas of North America, dialing #DAT or *DATA reduces the cellular billing increment. The LINKS Special Preamble (section [393]), allows the use of [*] and [#] charac- ters for the programming of #DAT and *DATA.
The LINKS Special Preamble is sent BEFORE the Preamble programmed in Sections [390] to [392].
Example: [Special Preamble][Regular Preamble][Telephone Number]
NOTE: If this Special Preamble is programmed, it will be inserted before the Regular Preamble of ALL telephone num- bers. Hex digits D and E are not supported for Preamble pro- gramming.
NOTE: If Busy Tone Detection is enabled, the LINKS1000 must be tested to ensure full operation.
Please refer to the LINKS1000 installation Manual for more information and connection diagrams.
