The Keypad Alarm Control Unit
The Keypad Alarm Control Unit is the heart of the Wireless Alarm System. It is responsible for monitoring the various sensors throughout your home, and for triggering the alarm signal when one of them reports a disturbance. As such, it is the single most important part of the Wireless Alarm System, and (with the possible exception of the remote controls) the part of the system that you will use most often.
Here’s a quick rundown of the various buttons on the Keypad Alarm Control Unit and what they do. We’ll cover the more advanced operations later in this manual.
