About The Keypads

General

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

Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature a telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that shows the nature and location of all occurrences. Keypad display back lighting is programmable to always stay on or to light only when a key is pressed, then turn off a few minutes later.

The keypads also feature a built-in sounder that will sound during alarms and troubles. It will also "beep" during certain system functions, such as during entry/exit delay times, during CHIME mode, and when depressing keys to perform system functions (to acknowledge the key press). These sounds can be optionally suppressed in some of your keypads (so as not to disturb other users of the system). Ask your installer if this has been done.

The Alpha Keypad

Alpha keypads feature a 2-line, 32 character alphanumeric Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that can display system messages in user-friendly English. Abbreviated user’s instructions can also be displayed (see Self Help paragraph in the SYSTEM OVERVIEW section). These keypads can also be programmed with custom zone descriptors.
