2.4 Auditory Feedback

When you enter information on the keypad, it will guide you with beep
tones. You should be familiar with these:

Confirmation Beep: When an operation (i.e. arming/disarming) is
successfully completed on the keypad or when the system switches
to a new status/mode, the keypad produces an intermittent beep tone
(“

BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP”).

Rejection Beep: When the system reverts to its previous status or
when an action is performed incorrectly on the keypad, it will emit a
continuous beep tone (“

BEEEEEEEEP”).

2.5 Modes and Settings

2.5.1 Confidential Mode

Your installer can program your keypad to hide the status of your
system by changing the keypad from Normal Mode to Confidential
Mode. This occurs when your keypad has been inactive for a period

640 Icon LCD Keypad 5n

of time as defined by your installer. In Confidential Mode all of the
indicator lights will turn off and the keypad will not display any zones
or status icons. Depending on how your keypad was programmed by
your installer, you must either press a key or enter your user access
code to activate Normal Mode.

2.5.2 Multiple-action

If your installer has enabled this feature, your keypad will permit you
to complete more than one action without having to reenter your user
access code. Press the [] key to exit the User Menu.

2.5.3 Display Settings

You can adjust the illumination of the LCD screen to suit your needs.

3.0 Partitioned System

Your system is equipped with a partitioning feature that can divide
your alarm system into sections identified as areas. Partitioning can
be used in installations where shared security systems are more
practical, such as a home office or warehouse building. When
partitioned, each zone, each user code and many of your system's
features can be assigned to one or more areas.

An area is the same as a partition. The term partition or partitioning is
a reference installers use to describe the division of secured
premises. Only your installer can partition your premises.

3.1 Area Status Display

If any areas within the system are armed, the display will show which
areas are armed and how each is armed. See T able 3 on page 4, and
Figure 1 on page 8 for more information.

If any zones are open, their respective zone numbers will either
appear on the left side of the screen (zones 1 to 16), or scroll
incrementally (17 to 96) in the center of the screen. For more
information, see Zones on page 8.

Various icons will display after certain events have occurred within
the system. Please see Table 3 on page 4 for more information on
the different icons and their functionalities.

How do I view the status of an area?

1. Press and hold the key corresponding to the area you want to
view. See Figure 1 on page 8 to see how open zones are
displayed.

2. Press [] to exit.

640 Icon LCD Keypad 7n

4.0 Zones

Zones are designated spaces within an area, which are monitored by
the alarm system. Zones can be protected by devices such as
magnetic door contacts and motion detectors.

4.1 Zone Status Display

The Icon keypad displays the status of individual zones within a
partitioned system. It can show up to 96 open zones which are
displayed as follows:

• Zones 1 to 16 will illuminate on the left-hand side of the LCD
screen.

• Zones 17 to 96 will appear as digital numbers and will scroll
incrementally until 96, then repeat the cycle from 17 onwards
again.

5.0 Arming

When the system is armed, it will respond to any breach in the zones
according to the way each zone is programmed. For example, if
someone opens a window that is armed, the system can trigger an
alarm and alert your monitoring station.

5.1 Exit Delay Timer

Arming the system will start the Exit Delay Timer. This will provide
enough time for you to exit the protected area before the system

arms. The light and the appropriate arm icon will both flash during
the exit delay. Your installer can assign different time limits and
program the keypad to beep during the exit delay.

5.2 Regular Arming

This method is used for the everyday arming of the system. All zones
within the protected area must be closed to arm the system.

How do I Regular arm the system?

1. Enter your [
beep. The functionality icons will illuminate.

2. Press the [] key.

3. If you have access to more than one area, press the number key
representing the area you want to arm, or press the [0] key for
all assigned areas. After the confirmation beep, the Exit Delay

Timer will begin. The Regular arm icon (or the affected area
numbers) will flash.

4. Once the system has armed, the Regular arm icon will
illuminate with the armed areas .

Use One-Touch keys (see Section 5.6 on page 12) or a
keyswitch to arm the area (see Section 5.7 on page 13).

ACCESS CODE]. Your keypad will emit a confirmation

640 Icon LCD Keypad 9n

5.3 Stay Arming

Stay arming will partially arm your system allowing you to remain in
the protected area. For example, you can arm your doors and
windows at home without arming the motion detectors so that you will
be protected while you sleep. Only user access codes with the Stay
and Instant arm options enabled can Stay arm the system.

How do I Stay arm?

1. Enter your [

ACCESS CODE].

2. Press the [] key.

3. If you have access to more than one area, press the number
key representing the area you want to arm or press the [0]
key for all assigned areas. After the confirmation beep, the

Exit Delay Timer will begin. The Stay arm icon (or the
affected area numbers) will flash.

4. Once the system has armed, the Stay arm icon will
illuminate with the armed areas .

Use One-Touch keys (see Section 5.6 on page 12) or a
keyswitch to arm the area (see Section 5.7 on page 13).

5.4 Instant Arming

This feature is similar to Stay arming. Instant arming will partially arm
your system, permitting you to remain in the protected area, but all
zones (including the entry/exit points) are changed to Instant Alarm
Zones. Therefore, if any armed zone is breached the alarm will be
triggered instantly. Only user access codes with the Stay and Instant
arm option enabled can Instant arm.

Use One-Touch keys (see Section 5.6 on page 12) or a
keyswitch (see Section 5.7 on page 13) to arm the area.
