12 | Keypad cleaning
Use a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaning solution to clean your keypad
(for example, microfiber cloth and eyeglass cleaner). Spray the cleaner
onto the cloth. Do not spray cleaners directly onto the keypad.
The control panel supervises all keypads on the SDI2 bus.
If a keypad fails to respond to the control panel, the control panel
declares a Missing Keypad Trouble. When the control panel can
again communicate with the keypad, it restores the Missing Keypad
Trouble.
During a Missing Keypad Trouble, any connected keypad that
maintained contact with the control panel shows the Missing Keypad
Trouble as its idle text, and shows the missing keypad’s address. The
communicating keypads also sound a trouble tone. Users can silence
the trouble tone. If no other troubles exist, the tone silences when
the missing keypad restores.
