Keypads
Wireless keypad
The wireless LCD keypad allows you to program the NX-10 system using a menu structure. There is
also an option to use the wired keypad with the same functionality.
Figure 3. Keypad.
The LCD features the white backlight to allow keypad operation in the dark. Illumination level is as
low as possible to save energy. LCD backlight turns ON gradually when the user hits the first key,
and turns OFF gradually 30 seconds after the last key operation. The status light (logo) in the top left
corner indicates the current partition status.
In the single-partition mode:
• logo is red when the partition is armed in any mode,
• logo is green when the partition is disarmed.
In the master (multi-partition) mode:
• logo is red when any partition is armed in any mode,
• logo is green when all the partitions are disarmed.
