Alphanumeric and Fixed Display Touchpads

Alphanumeric touchpads are mounted on a wall and provide system information by LEDs and/or displaying text messages.

Wireless Handheld Touchpad

This touchpad can be carried from room to room and used to control the system from many locations on site.

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. They can even be programmed to operate a gate, garage door, or activate a Police or Auxiliary panic alarm.

Touchtone Phones

Your system can be set up for 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 turning on and off lights.

Instructing the System

Most of your instructions for the system consist of this basic pattern:

Command + Access Code

Not just anyone can walk up to a touchpad and operate your security system. Before the system will process most commands, users are required to enter a 4-digit access code.

Keychain touchpads do not require an access code, but are usually kept in an individual’s pocket or purse.

If you would rather use an actual key (Figure 3) to arm and disarm the system, your security dealer can install a special key and keyswitch in your home.
