UDITORY FEEDBACK
(B
EEP TONES
)
When you ent er inf orm ation o n the k eypad, the k eypad will gu ide yo u with
beep tones to communicate acc ept ance or rejection of your ent ries.
Confirmation Beep
: When an operation (i.e. arming/disarming) is
successfu lly ente red or wh en the syste m switch es to a new st atus/m enu, the
keypad emit s an intermitt ent beep tone (“
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP
”).
Half Beep
: When a step of an operation is successfully entered on the
keypad, the keypad emits a short intermit t ent beep tone (“
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP
”).
Rejection Bee p
: When reverting to a previous status, or when an operation
is incorrectly entered, t he keypad emits a continuous beep ( “
BEEEEEEEEP
”).
2.2 K
EYPAD INDICATOR LIGHTS
On all Digiplex LED Keypads, t he state of the “
STATUS
”, “AC” Lights, and Action
Symbols (see Figure 2-1 page 7) represents a specific condition in your system.
2.3 LED K
EYPADS
There are thr ee versions of the LED Key pads: the 10-zone, the 20-zone,
and the 48-zone keypads. Each keypad can be assigned to one area or
many areas in a
Partitioned System
. The three keypads function in the
same way and any reference to one keypad applies to each of the LED
Keypads. The only difference between the versions is the number of zones
that each can di splay.

Digiplex LED Keypads 9
2.3.1 N ormal Mode
When no actions are being performed on the key pad, the key pad will remain in
Normal Mode. In Normal mode the LED keypad will illuminate:
• The “AC” Light if power is present
• The Numerical Symbols repr esenting any open zones
• The Area Symbols i f any areas are armed
• The
[
MEM
]
Symbol if any al ar m s have occurred
• The
[
TRBL
]
Symbol if any troubles are occurring
• The
[
BYP
]
Symbol if zone s ar e by passed
and show the st at us of the “Status” Light (se e Fi gur e 2- 1, page 7)
2.3.2 Confidential Mode
The installer can program the keypads no t to display the status of your sys tem
automatically by changing the LED keypad from
Normal Mode
to Confidential
Mode. In Confidential Mode all the Symbols and Keypad Indicator Lights are
extinguished. Depending on how your keypad was programmed by the
installer, you must either press a button or enter your User Access Code to
activate Normal Mode.
2.3.3 Multiple-action
If your installer has enabled this feature, the LED Keypad will permit you to
complete more than one action without having to re-enter your
User
Access Code
. Press the button to exit the User Menu.

2.3.4 Backlight
The illumination behind the buttons can be modified to suit your needs.
2.4 P
ARTITIONED SYSTEM
Your installer can design your system to recognize up to four separate
protected areas. A separated system is called a Partitioned System, which
can be useful in situations where shared security systems are more
practical. For example, a company that has both an office area and a
warehouse ar ea can arm and di sa rm each area sepa ra te l y an d control the
access to each a rea. Ther efore, one p erson may ha ve ac cess t o onl y one
area, whereas another person may have access to all areas. Access to the
areas is determined by the
User Access Code
.
How do I modify the Backlight?
1) Enter your
[
ACCESS CODE
]
.
The keypad will emit a Confirmation Beep. The [
ACCESS
] Symbol will flash.
2) Press the button.
The keypad will emit a Confirmation Beep, the
[
PRG
]
Symbol will illuminate,
and the Numerical Symbol for the current setting will illuminate.
3) Use the and buttons to increase or decrease the illumination.
The range is between zero (Numerical Symbol
[10]
) and seven (Numerical
Symbol
[7]
) with seven being the brightest.
4) Press the button to save and exit.

When you arm the system, it will start the Exit Delay Timer to provide you
with enough tim e to ex it the prot ected area b efore th e syst em is ar med. Th e
Status Light
will flash green while the time elapses. The timer can be
assigned different time limits and the keypad can be programmed to beep
while the time elapses on the timer . Discuss these options with your installer .

TAY ARMING
Stay Arming will partially arm your system to permit you to remain in the
protected area. Based on your instructions, your installer will program specific
zones as Stay Zones. These zones will not arm when you Stay Arm. For
example, you can arm your doors and windows at home without arming the
motion detectors so you will be protected while you sleep. Only
User Access
Codes
with the
Stay and Ins tant Arm
option enab led can Stay Arm the sy stem.
Also, see section 3. 8 Aut o-Armin g for anot her eve ryday armi ng option.
3.3.1 Stay Arming with Delay
Stay Arming with Delay
functions like Stay Arming except the installer can
program armed zones with an
Entry Delay Timer
. If these zones are
accidently triggered, the timer will start to allow you time to disarm the area(s).

3.4 I
NSTANT ARMING
This feature is similar to
Stay Arming
. Instant Arming will partially arm your
system to permit you to remain in the protected area, but all zones, including the
entry/exit point, are changed to instant alarm zones. Therefore, if any armed
zone is breached, the alarm will instantly be triggered. Only
User Access Codes
with the
Stay and Instant Arm
option enabled will be able to Instant Arm.

ORCE ARMING
Force Arming allows you to arm your system when specific zones are
open. Certain zones can be programmed by the installer to remain
unarmed when you initiate For ce Arming. Once the open zone is cl osed,
however, the system will then arm it as we ll. On ly
User Access Codes
with
the
Force Arm
option enabled can Force Arm the system. Also, see
section 3.8 Au to -A rm ing for another every day arming option .
This feature is commonly used when a motion detector is protecting an
area that is occupied by a keypad. During Force arming, the motion
detector will remain unarmed until you exit the area that it protects. The
system will th en arm the motion det ector.
