About The Keypads

General Information

Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature the following:

•A telephone style (digital) keypad

•Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all occurrences

•Built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and troubles. The sounder also "beeps" during certain system functions and when depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press).

•Backlighting of the LCD display windows. Backlighting turns on when any key is pressed, and when opening an entry/exit door while the system is armed. This feature is helpful when a keypad is located in a dimly lit area.

IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the premises, it indicates that an alarm has occurred during your absence and an intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.

Your keypads are functionally the same, but may have different types of displays, depending on the type installed with your system.

Alpha Display 2-line alpha display 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.

Fixed-Word Display Fixed-Word display keypads are functionally identical to Alpha display keypads, but the LCD display uses pre-designated words to identify the nature and location of occurrences.

Voice Keypads Voice Keypads (if installed), are functionally the same as other keypads, except that these keypads can provide the following:

•Voice announcements of system status (see Checking for Open Zones section)

•Voice chime, which can alert you to the opening of doors and windows while the system is disarmed (see Voice Chime in Chime mode section)

•Message center, which lets you record and playback messages (see Using the Voice Message Center in the System Overview section).
