Functions

Display

The touch screen display uses icons, words, numbers, and symbols to show the status of the security system and for interacting with the security system. When several events occur, the keypad shows each event in order of priority. The keypad detects when a user approaches and automatically activates the display.

User icons and keys

The keypad greets the user with a home screen that shows the system status at one glance using a large icon. The user can change the system status by simply touching this home screen icon. The touch screen display also offers icons on the ribbon bar. These visually pleasing graphical icons are easy to use for accessing menus and other options. The keypad has a variety of keyboards for entering alphanumeric characters. The keypad screen has numeric keys and one function [CMD] key. When pressed, keys emit a muted beep. Use the keyboards for entering passcodes, activating commands, and entering alphanumeric characters.

Audible tones

The keypad has a built-in speaker that produces several distinct warning tones. The tones are differentiated so that the user can recognize an event simply by hearing its associated tone. The keypad backlight illuminates when it emits an audible tone. Users can use a passcode or credential to silence the tone.

Status indicators

The status indicators on the keypad provide a quick visual reference for system status.

√	The indicator lights when the system is ready to turn on (arm).
	The indicator lights when the system is on (armed).
	The indicator lights when there is a trouble condition.
gas	The indicator lights when dangerous gases are present including carbon monoxide (NFPA 720).
