- 12 - Functions of the Keypads 6139 2-LINE ALPHA KEYPAD Fixed-word keypads are functionally similar, except for screen displays. 1. DISPLAY WINDOW: Fixed-word and 2-line Alpha Displays use Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) to display protection point identi- fication and system status. 2-Line Alpha keypads also may display messages and user instructions. 2. OFF KEY: Disarms the burglary portion of the system, silences alarms and audible trouble indicators, and clears visual alarm trouble after the problem has been corrected.3. AWAY KEY: Completely arms both perimeter and interior burglary zones for backup protection by sensing an intruders movements through protected interior areas. Also guards protected doors, windows, etc. Entrance can be made through an entry delay zone without causing an alarm if the system is disarmed before the entry delay time expires.

Functions of the Keypads (contd) - 13 - 4. STAY KEY: Arms the perimeter burglary sensors, guarding protected doors, windows, and other perimeter protection points, and sounds an alarm if one is opened. Interior protection is not armed, which allows movement within your house without causing an alarm. Entrance can be made through an entry delay zone without causing an alarm if the system is disarmed before the entry delay time expires. If this key is pressed twice in rapid succession, the system is armed in a higher level of security than STAY arming. This higher level is called NIGHT-STAY and incorporates all the features of the STAY mode, but also arms selected interior zones (ask your installer for further information). 5. MAX KEY: Arms in a manner similar to AWAY mode, but eliminates the entry delay period, thus providing maximum protection. An alarm will occur immediately upon opening any protection point, including entry delay zones. 6. TEST KEY: Tests the system and alarm sounder.7. BYPASS KEY: Removes individual protection zones from being monitored by the system. Displays currently bypassed protection zones. 8. INSTANT KEY: Arms in a manner similar to STAY mode, but turns off the entry delay period, offering greater security while you are inside and not expecting any late visitors. An alarm will occur immediately upon opening any perimeter protection point, including entry delay zones. 9. CODE KEY: Allows the entry of additional user codes that can be given to other users of the system. 10. CHIME KEY: Turns the CHIME mode on and off. When it is on, any entry through a protected delay or perimeter zone while the system is disarmed will cause a tone to sound at the keypad(s). 11. READY KEY: When this key is depressed prior to arming the system, the keypad will display all open protection zones within the keypads home partition.
Functions of the Keypads (contd) - 14 - 12. # KEY: Permits arming of the system without entering a security code (“Quick Arm,” if programmed). Also used to view the second line of single-line alpha keypads. 13. KEYS 0-9: Used to enter your individual security access code(s). 14. POWER/READY INDICATOR: On keypads with a Power LED, primary power is on when this is lit. If the indicator is off, system is operating on backup battery power. On keypads with a READY LED, system is ready to be armed if this indicator is lit. An unlit indicator means the system is not ready (a zone is open). 15. ARMED INDICATOR: (RED) Lit when the system has been armed in the STAY, NIGHT-STAY, AWAY, INSTANT, or MAXIMUM mode.16. INTERNAL SOUNDER: Source of audible internal warning and confirmation sounds, as well as alarms (see Summary of Audible Notification section). 17. A-B-C KEYS: These keys may be used as PANIC keys, if Quick Arm ( Q21) is not enabled, or as Arming keys if Quick Arm is enabled. Keypads without this option use key pairs to activate panic alarms. Refer to Panic Keys and Arming section for descriptions of these keys. The D key, when available, is typically programmed to send a special message to a Pager. Refer to the Paging Feature section for details. IMPORTANT! When you use the keypad to enter codes and commands, press the keys within 2 seconds of one another. If 2 seconds elapse without a key depression, the entry is aborted and must be repeated from its beginning.
- 15 - Checking for Open Zones Using the Q Key Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows, and other protection zones must be closed or bypassed (see Bypassing Protection Zones section). Otherwise the keypad will display a NOT READY message. Pressing the [ Q] key will display all zones that are faulted, making it easier for you to secure any open zones. NOTE:A green READY indicator (if present) on the keypad will be lit if the system is ready to be armed. If it is not lit, the system is not ready. NOT READY - PRESS Q TO SHOW FAULTS 1. Q Show faulted zones.Press the [Q] key. (There is no need to enter your security code in order to reveal faulted zones.) 2.FAULT 05 FRONT UPSTAIRS BEDROOM Secure faulted zones.

You can restart the exit delay at any time after arming in INSTANT mode by pressing the T key. This is useful if you wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in or out after arming the system without having to disarm the system and then re-arm it again. * Refer to the note at bottom of page 19 dealing with the automatic Exit Restart feature.
- 19 - Arming All Protection (with Entry Delay ON) Using the 2 Key AWAY Use this key when no one will be staying on the premises. When armed in AWAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or window is opened, or if any movement is detected inside the premises. You may leave through the entrance door during the exit delay period without causing an alarm. You may also re-enter through the entrance door, but must disarm the system within the entry delay period or else an alarm will occur*. NOTE: If the Auto Stay feature is enabled (ask your installer) and the system is armed from a hard-wired keypad, and no entry/exit zone is violated during the exit time, the system will revert to the STAY mode. Close all protected perimeter windows and doors before arming (see Checking for Open Zones section). The green READY indicator (if present) on the keypad should be lit if the system is ready to be armed. 1. + 2 (Security Code)AWAY Enter 4-digit security code, then press the AWAY key. Example: Press 7 2 9 6, then 2 or, for quick arming (if enabled): Press the [#] key followed by the AWAY key or press and hold the [A] button (if available). 2.ARMED ***AWAY*** You may exit now Listen.

The You may exit now portion of the message disappears when the exit delay time expires. * NOTE: There is an automatic Exit Restart feature built into your system. It works this way: If you realize that you forgot something and have to go back inside the premises (within the original exit delay time), as soon as you re-enter, a new exit delay time sequence is started. This restarting of the exit delay time occurs only once during each arming session, however; therefore youre permitted only one return without setting off alarms.
- 20 - Arming All Protection (With Entry Delay OFF) Using the 4 Key MAX Use this key when the premises will be vacant for an extended period of time, such as during a vacation, or when no one will be moving through protected interior areas. When armed in MAXIMUM mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or window is opened, or if any movement is detected inside the premises. You may leave through the entrance door during the exit delay period without causing an alarm, but an alarm will be sounded as soon as someone re-enters. Close all protected perimeter windows and doors before arming (see Checking for Open Zones section). The green READY indicator (if present) on the keypad should be lit if the system is ready to be armed. 1. + 4 (Security Code)MAX Enter 4-digit security code, then press the MAXIMUM key. Example: Press 7 2 9 6 then 4 or, for quick arming (if enabled): Press the [#] key followed by the MAX key. 2.ARMED *MAXIMUM* You may exit now Listen.
