System Overview (cont’d)
Memory of Alarm
When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm (ex. FIRE, ALARM). It remains displayed until it is cleared by disarming the system (see DISARMING THE SYSTEM section).
To Access Another Partition (GOTO Command)
Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will show only that partition’s information. But, if the user is authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform system functions in another partition, by using the GOTO command. Note that only those partitions authorized and programmed by the installer can be accessed in this manner.
To GOTO another partition, enter your security code, then press [✳] followed by the desired partition number
The keypad will remain in the new partition until directed to go to another partition, or until 120 seconds has elapsed with no keypad activity. Entering your security code, pressing [✳] followed by [0] will return the keypad to its original partition.
Self-Help Feature
Abbreviated user’s instructions are built into the system that can be easily viewed on the alpha keypad’s message display screen. This feature will prove particularly useful if this manual is not conveniently accessible when you need to perform a system procedure with which you are not familiar.
To view the abbreviated instructions:
Simply press and hold down the function key of interest until the description starts to appear (about 5 seconds) and then release it. The system must be “READY TO ARM” to perform this function.
Refer to the FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYPAD section for descriptions of each key function.
