Appendix B: Using the Key Pad
A key pad is a wireless peripheral that lets you perform certain TouchScreen
functions in additional locations in your premises. For example, you could install a
key pad near a less-used entry or in an upstairs bedroom to ensure its Emergency
Alarm feature is always readily accessible. The following TouchScreen functions can
be performed from the key pad:
Check the current system status (armed, disarmed, or “not ready”)
Arm the system in Arm Away mode or Arm Stay mode (see the TouchScreen
User Guide for an explanation of arming modes)
Disarm the system
Send a Panic alarm for police assistance.
Checking System Status
Press the
button to light the LED to show the current status of the security system. The
button
lights to show the current status of the security system.
Green for three seconds if the system is disarmed.
Red for three seconds if the system is armed.
Orange for three seconds if the system is not ready to be armed (for example, a door is open.)
Arming the System
From the key pad, you can arm your system in Arm Away mode or Arm Stay. Arm Night mode must be
performed from the TouchScreen or Subscriber Portal.
Arm Away Mode
Enter a valid keypad code followed by the
button to arm the system in Arm Away mode (no one still
in the premises). See the TouchScreen User Guide for an explanation of this arming mode.
The
button turns red for 3 seconds to indicate that the Exit Delay has started (default 30 seconds—
TouchScreen beeps during this period). If the system is not ready (because, for example, a door or
window is opened) the button flashes orange seven times.
Arm Stay
Enter a valid keypad code followed by the
button to arm the system in Arm Stay mode (there are still
people within the premises). See the TouchScreen User Guide for an explanation of this arming mode.
