ARM  P 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 
HIT  0-8  X X X -  -  X -  - 
The prompt displays all the partitions. The user 
may only arm/disarm the partitions they are 
assigned access to.  
To select the partition(s) that are to be armed, 
enter the desired number 1-8. An X will appear 
under that partition. Entering a partition’s 
number again will delete the “X” and that 
partition will not arm when this prompt is exited.   
Pressing 0 will turn all partitions the user is 
assigned access to on/off. 
When completed, press ✳ to exit. All the partitions 
with the “X” will then arm/disarm. 
Global Arming Notes: 
• When performing a Global Arm, if there are faults in either partition, the 
system will enter a Summary Mode. Faulted zones in all the partitions 
will be displayed. These faults must be corrected or bypassed. This 
Summary Mode will end in approximately 120 seconds if no keys are 
pressed. 
• When performing a Global Disarm, if either of the partitions has a 
condition which would cause the keypad to beep (e.g., alarm memory or a 
trouble condition), the system enters a Summary Mode and displays the 
condition. This Summary Mode will end in approximately 120 seconds if 
no keys are pressed.

Checking For Open Zones 
Using the ✳  READY Key 
Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other protection 
zones must be closed or bypassed (see BYPASSING section).  Otherwise the 
keypad will display a Not Ready message. Using the READY key will 
display all zones that are faulted, making it easier for you to secure any open 
zones. 
To show faulted zones: 
 DISARMED - PRESS 
 TO SHOW FAULTS 
Note: Some keypads light a green LED when 
the system is ready. If not lit, the system is not 
ready to be armed. 
  READY 
1.  Do not enter security code, but simply press  ✳  . 
FAULT   05  FRONT 
UPSTAIRS BEDROOM Typical fault display 
 
2. DISARMED 
READY TO ARM 
 
Secure or bypass the zones displayed before 
arming the system. The Ready message will 
be displayed†
 when all protection zones have 
been either closed or bypassed. 
†
 NOTE: All or part of this message may be 
replaced by a customized message programmed 
by the installer.  Bear this in mind whenever 
the instructions indicate that the 
DISARMED or READY message will be 
displayed.

Displaying All Zone Descriptors 
Using the ✳  READY Key 
The Alpha Keypads can also display all the zone descriptors that are 
programmed in your system. The abbreviated instructions for the READY 
key will appear first, followed by the zone descriptors. Displaying all 
descriptors is useful when you need to know the zone number of a particular 
zone, as when bypassing zones. 
The Disarmed-Ready to arm message must be displayed before zone 
descriptors can be displayed. 
  READY 
 Press the   ✳  key and hold down for at least 5 seconds.

Bypassing Protection Zones 
Using the   6  BYPASS Key 
This key is used when you want to arm your system with one or more zones 
intentionally unprotected. Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause 
an alarm when violated while your system is armed. All bypasses are 
removed when an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) is performed. 
Bypasses are also removed if the arming procedure that follows the bypass 
command is not successful. 
Note: The system will not allow fire or emergency zones to be 
bypassed. 
To bypass zones, the system must be disarmed first. 
   BYPASS 
1.  Enter your security code and press   6  . 
2.  Enter zone number(s) for the zones to be bypassed (e.g., 01, 02, 03, etc.). 
 Important! All single-digit numbers must be preceded by “0” (for 
example, enter 01 for zone 1). 
3.  BYPASS  07 FRONT 
UPSTAIRS BEDROOM 
Typical bypass message 
When finished, the keypad will display the 
word BYPASS along with each bypassed zone 
number. Wait for these zones to be displayed 
before arming. Arming the system before 
bypassed zones are displayed eliminates all 
bypasses. 
4.  DISARMED BYPASS 
READY TO ARM 
Arm the system as usual when the keypad 
displays ready to arm message.

Bypassing Protection Zones (cont’d) 
Quick Bypass 
Your system allows you to easily bypass all open (faulted) zones without 
having to enter zone numbers individually.  
Note: All bypasses are removed when an OFF sequence (security code plus 
OFF) is performed. 
To use the Quick Bypass feature: 
  BYPASS 
1.  Enter your security code and press  6  then press  # . 
2. BYPASS  07 FRONT 
UPSTAIRS BEDROOM 
Typical bypass message 
In a few moments, all open zones will be 
displayed along with the word BYPASS. Wait 
for these zones to be displayed before arming. 
Arming the system before bypassed zones are 
displayed eliminates all bypasses. 
3. DISARMED BYPASS 
READY TO ARM 
Arm the system as usual when the keypad 
displays the ready to arm message. Bypassed 
zones are unprotected and will not cause an 
alarm when violated while your system is 
armed. 
Displaying Bypassed Zones 
For determining what zones have been previously bypassed. Bypassed zones 
can be displayed only when system is disarmed. 
  BYPASS 
1.  Enter your security code and press  6  . 
2.  Wait for all bypassed zones to be sequentially displayed.

Disarming And Silencing Alarms 
Using the   1  OFF Key 
The OFF key is used to disarm the system and to silence alarm and trouble 
sounds. See SUMMARY OF AUDIBLE NOTIFICATION section for 
information which will help you to distinguish between FIRE and 
BURGLARY alarm sounds. 
IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT enter 
the premises, but call the police from a nearby safe location. If you return after an 
alarm has occurred and the main sounder has shut itself off, the keypad will beep 
rapidly upon entering, indicating that an alarm has occurred during your absence. 
LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe 
location.  
To disarm the system and silence burglary or fire alarms: 
  OFF 
1.  Enter your security code and press  1  . 
DISARMED 
READY TO ARM 
2.  The Ready message will be displayed (if no alarms have occurred while 
armed) and the keypad will beep once to confirm that the system is 
disarmed. 
Memory of Alarm 
The keypad displays the zone number and type of alarm for any zone that 
has an alarm condition. These messages will remain displayed until cleared 
by a user. If an alarm has occurred, note the zone number displayed on the 
keypad and repeat step 1 above to clear the Memory of Alarm and restore 
the Ready message display. If the Ready message will not display, go to the 
displayed zone and remedy the fault (close windows, etc.). If the fault cannot 
be remedied, notify the alarm agency. 
If the system was armed when the alarm occurred, repeat step 1 twice: once 
to disarm the system, a second time to clear the display.
