Speed Key (Macros)
General Information
The “D” key can be used to activate a string of commands up to 16 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 D
existing sequence displayed
Enter up to 16 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 the Speed Key sequence, 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.
