2-Line Alpha Keypad

ABOUT THE KEYPADS

Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature a telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all occurrences.

The keypads also feature a built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and troubles. The keypads also "beep" during certain system functions, such as during entry/exit delay times, in CHIME mode, and when depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press).

There are two basic types of keypads – a Fixed-Wordkeypad and an Alpha key-pad (both described below). Fixed-Word and Alpha keypads are functionally the same, even though they have different types of displays.

2-line Alpha keypads feature a 2-line, 32-character alphanumeric LCD which can display system messages in friendly English. These keypads can also be programmed with custom zone descriptors. The screen displays depicted throughout this manual are examples of displays that would typically appear on a 2-line Alpha keypad.

1-Line Alpha Keypad 1-line Alpha keypads feature a 16-character alphanumeric LCD which can display system messages in friendly English. Messages are the same as those for 2-line Alpha keypads, but are displayed one line at a time. To view the second line of the message, simply press the

#

key. To return to the first line, press the

#

again, or wait 3 seconds.

After pressing the

#

key, wait at least 3 seconds before entering a command.

Fixed-Word Keypad Fixed-Word keypads are functionally identical to Alpha keypads, but the LCD display uses

pre-designated words to identify the nature and location of occurrences.

Fixed-Word keypads are available with two styles of displays, “A” or “B” (see page 11), depending on keypad used.
