Speed Key (Macros)

General Information

The “A”, “B”, “C”, and/or “D” keys can be used to activate a string of commands up to 32 keystrokes each. These commands are known as a macro and are stored in the system’s memory. Typical Speed Key functions include:

Arming sequences that involve first bypassing certain zones before arming.

Seldom used but repeatable sequences.

Relay activation sequences.

NOTE: If a speedkey function includes an arming sequence and the user executing it has global arming, all partitions the user can global arm will arm.

Defining

To program a macro, enter your user code + [#] + [D]. The following appears:

ENTER SPEED KEY #

01-32 00=QUIT

Enter the 2-digit Speed Key number (01-32) being defined and press [*]. Enter up to 32 keystrokes. A Speed Key sequence can include different commands. Press the "D" key to separate different commands. For example, you may want to perform the following sequence.

GOTO partition 2

Enter

*2

Bypass zones 10 & 11

Press bypass [6], then the zone numbers 010

 

& 011

 

Arm in maximum mode

Press maximum [4] key

Return to partition 1

Enter *1

To program that Speed Key sequence, type the following:

*2 D 6010011 D 4 D *1 D D

Note that the "D" key is pressed after each command. Press "D" twice to complete the entry and exit.

NOTE: When defining Speed Key sequences, do not use the [#] key to represent Quick Arming. The system uses the code entered in response to the prompt to initiate commands in a Speed Key sequence, so the quick arm key is unnecessary. The system interprets the use of the [#] key in a Speed Key sequence as its designated function only.
