• Large, 2-line, 32-character alpha-numeric LCD
display. Display backlighting turns on after any key

out time is dependent on the setting of the control
panel.

that swings down to provide access plus four Special
Function Keys (A, B, C, D) are continuously backlit.

• System numerals, imprinted in large type on the keys
for easy identification. System functions appear below
the keys on the keypad.

Keypad/Transceiver

How these panic keys function and the type of panic
alarms they produce is determined by the control
panel’s capability and programming. (Check with your

installer for the availability and programming of these
panic keys.)

SPECIAL FUNCTION KEYS - These are the four keys

located to the left of the numeric keys (see Figure 1).
The keys may be programmed by your installer for
panic alarms or other special functions such as single­button arming. (Check with your installer to see which
options are available with your system.)

Each of the four Special Function Keys must
be held down for at least two seconds to
activate.

A set of adhesive labels with typical panic symbols is
provided. Place the appropriate label in the indented
area on each key, so that you can easily identify each
key’s function.

SOUNDER

The built-in speaker has the following functions:

• Produces warning sounds during alarm and trouble
conditions, and also during entry/exit delay periods.
Provides acknowledgment tones when keys are
pressed, and confirmation tones for successful
command entries.
