System Overview 
General 
Your Honeywell security system consists of a main control panel, at least one keypad, 
and various sensors strategically positioned throughout the premises. The system 
offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency. The keypad 
provides full control of system operation. 
The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection zones and 
system status and provides appropriate information for display on the keypad(s) used 
with the...

System Overview (cont’d) 
A Partitioned System 
Simply stated, a partitioned system shares one physical alarm system among 
different users, each with their own requirements. For the most part, you as a user 
need not know about other users and their structure in the system, but from time to 
time, you may see display messages that indicate the system is in use by another 
user. Do not be concerned, this is normal. Refer to the ACCESSING OTHER 
PARTITIONS section for additional information....

System Overview (cont’d) 
NOTE: Cross Zoning and Swinger Suppression options can help reduce false alarms. 
Ask your installer if your system is programmed for either of these features. An Abort 
Window feature exists for all non-fire zones.  All non-fire alarm reports are NOT 
transmitted to the central station if the code + off sequence is entered within the 
Abort Window time period. Ask your installer if this feature has been programmed. 
There is also a 5-minute Cancel Window feature in...

Speed Key (Macros) 
The system can store a string of up to 32 keystrokes, which can be activated anytime 
by simply pressing the “A, B, C, or D” keys. This feature can be used to make it easy 
to perform multiple functions at once (such as going to another partition to bypass a 
zone), or it can be used to simplify an everyday, repeated procedure. Refer to the 
SPEED KEY section for procedures for using this feature.

Self-Help Feature 
Abbreviated users instructions are built into the system that can be easily viewed on 
the alpha keypads 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)...

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. 
NOTE: If you have a Touch Screen Keypad connected to your system, refer 
to the Touch Screen Keypad User Guide for operating instructions. 
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature a 
telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid...
