The Icon LCD Keypad
The Scorpion Z16040C indicates system status by visual and audible indication via a sixteen zone Icon LCD
or LED keypad. When a valid user code is entered the alarm will begin arming and the keypad will emit a tone
for the programmed exit time. At the expiry of the exit time the tone will stop and the system will arm. Visual
and audible indication of the alarm status will be displayed on the keypad. Please refer to the LCD graphic and
LED symbol descriptions below.
When entering the premises the keypad will emit a repeating tone for the programmed entry time, alerting you
to turn off your alarm system. Entering a valid user code will disarm the system and the keypad will emit two
short beeps. An incorrect user code entry is signalled by one long beep.
Icon LCD Keypad Symbols
The LCD keypad gives full visual and audible indication of the status of your alarm. The keypad has five
graphic symbols, an area identifier and 16 zone indicators.
The power lead symbol is on when mains power is present and flashes together with the
system fault symbol when there has been a mains failure.
The system fault symbol flashes when there has been a system fault condition, or a system
two key panic command has been initiated (see page 20 for further details).
The bell symbol flashes when an alarm condition has occurred or a system two key panic
has been activated.

4
The moon symbol is displayed when the system is night armed.
The padlock symbol is displayed ‘unlocked’ when the system is disarmed and ‘locked’
when the system is away armed or night armed
The area identifier symbol is the four segment box at the lower right hand side of the LCD
display. This symbol displays the area(s) that is away armed or night armed. In non-
partitioned systems only Area A is displayed
Zone and Graphic LCD keypad Indicators
The zone indicator lamps are displayed as numbers 1 through 16 on the top two lines of the LCD keypad. The
arming zone numbers will be displayed when an away arm or night arm command has been initiated. During
the exit delay the keypad will also display the ‘padlock’ symbol flashing in an alternating lock and unlock
state and the area identifier box will show the area(s) that are arming. A fast pulse audible tone will be heard.
In the event of a system alarm, the keypad will display the full status of the alarm condition. The zone
indicators, power lead, system fault, bell and padlock symbols will flash together with the area identifier,
indicating the area in which the zone(s) has activated.
If your system is partitioned into multiple areas, then only the user codes assigned to the designated area(s) are
functional for that area(s). All zones assigned to an area are visually and audibly signalled on the keypad(s)
programmed for that area(s).

5
The Sixteen Zone LED Keypad
The LED keypad gives full visual and audible indication of the status of your alarm. The keypad has four area
identifiers, AC power, night arm and 16 zone indicators.
The green AC symbol is on when mains power is present and flashes when there has been a mains failure.
The AC symbol flashes fast when there has been a system fault condition, or a system two key panic
command has been initiated (see page 20 for further details).
The area identifiers (S1, S2, S3, S4) flash when arming an area(s) and remain steady on when an area has armed.
The area identifiers (S1, S2, S3, S4) flash when an alarm condition has occurred within that area(s) or a
system two key panic has been activated.
The yellow Nite symbol is on when the system is night armed.
Zone LED keypad Indicators
The zone indicator lamps are displayed as numbers 1 through 16 on the LED keypad. The arming zones will be
displayed when an away arm or night arm command has been initiated. A fast pulse audible tone will be heard.
In the event of a system alarm, the keypad will display the full status of the alarm condition. The zone indicators
will flash together with the area identifier, indicating the area in which the zone(s) has activated.
If your system is partitioned into multiple areas, then only the user codes assigned to the designated area(s) are
functional for that area(s). All zones assigned to an area are visually and audibly signalled on the keypad(s)
programmed for that area(s).

User Code Commands
User codes can be set up to function in a number of different ways. Each user code may be assigned with multiple
functions. Please refer to the table below.
Discuss with your installer how you would like your user codes to function.
1) Arm system only
2) Master user code
3) Disarm all or disarm by area selection
4) Arm / Disarm lock code (if armed by this code no other valid code can disarm the system)
5) Arm / Disarm from a touch tone phone
6) Turns output 4 on / off from a touch tone phone
7) Bypass zones
Arming the System (Away Mode)
Enter a valid two to eight digit user code. Factory default user code is 1 2 3 4.
Use your programmed personal user code when carrying out keypad commands throughout this manual.
If your security system is partitioned, with zones assigned to different areas, then any keypad
commands for that partition can only be entered on the keypad assigned to that partition. Please discuss
this with your installer during commissioning.
<enabled user code> then #

9
The keypad zone indicators that are arming will be displayed for the duration of the pre-programmed exit
delay time and then turn off. The ‘padlock’ will be displayed in the locked position and the audible tone will
stop. If one or more zone indicators are flashing and the audible tone changes from a fast pulse to a slow
pulse, the system is indicating that those zones are not secure. The system should be disarmed, the problem
identified and corrected and then the system re-armed.
As the user exits through the protected areas the keypad zone indicators for those areas will change from
steady to flashing and the audible keypad tone will change from a fast to a slow pulse. After leaving the
protected areas the keypad zone indicators will change back to steady and the audible tone will revert back to
a fast pulse. After the exit delay time the zone indicators will turn off and the audible exit tone will stop. The
system is now armed.
Disarming the System
On entering the premises the keypad will generate an audible tone reminding the user to turn off the alarm
system. Enter a valid two to eight digit user code then #.
<enabled user code> #
Disarming Under Duress
Enter a valid two to eight digit user code then press and hold the # key until a second beep is heard. The alarm
system will disarm and send a duress code to the central receiving station if the alarm is monitored.
<enabled user code> then # (hold # until a second beep is heard)

10
Arming the System to Exclude (or bypass) a Zone(s)
To exclude or bypass zone(s) enter the following sequence.
*11 <enabled user code> then * <zone to bypass> # <zone to bypass> # #
To exclude zones 3 and 12 prior to arming enter the following sequence.
*11 <enabled user code> then * <3> # <12> # #
The keypad will now display only those zones that are arming. When next disarming your system the
bypassed zones will restore to their normal state.
Only a valid user code with priority to exclude a zone(s) assigned to the area with zones to bypass can
carry out this function (see user code commands page 8)
Quick Arming the System by Area
Enter the quick key command for the selected area
1# area ‘A’armed
2# area ‘B’armed
3# area ‘C’armed
4# area ‘D’armed

11
Quick Arming All System Areas
Enter the quick key command to arm all disarmed areas
9# arms all disarmed areas.
Arm or Disarm All Areas or Disarm Selected Areas (Partitioned System)
The Scorpion Z16040C can be partitioned into a maximum of four separate areas. These partitions can be
managed as independently alarmed areas. Enter a valid code to arm all areas, disarm all areas or disarm
selected areas.
<enabled user code> # arms or disarms all areas
<enabled user code> 1# disarms area ‘A’
<enabled user code> 2# disarms area ‘B’
<enabled user code> 3# disarms area ‘C’
<enabled user code> 4# disarms area ‘D’
Night Arming Delayed
Night arming allows areas such as upstairs bedrooms to remain disarmed while all downstairs zones are
armed. Enter the night arming code for the selected area.
*91 night arms area ‘A’
*92 night arms area ‘B’
*93 night arms area ‘C’
*94 night arms area ‘D’

12
When a night arming code is entered the keypad will emit a two beep arming confirmation and display the
pre-programmed night zones. The moon symbol will appear and the padlock and area identifier will flash. The
system is now undertaking a ‘silent’ delayed arming routine allowing the user to exit through the protected
night armed areas. After the pre-programmed delayed exit time has expired, the night zone(s) indicators will
turn off and the area identifier will stay on solid. Your system is now night armed.
When entering a night zone protected area the keypad, if programmed to do so, will emit an audible tone
alerting the user to disarm the system with a valid user code. If after the pre-alert the system has not been
disarmed, an alarm condition will occur.
If one or more of the night zone(s) indicators is flashing during night arming and the keypad is sounding an
alert tone, the system is indicating that a night zone(s) is in an unsecured state, eg an open door. The system
should be disarmed using a valid code, the problem identified, corrected and the system re-armed. To ensure
secure system integrity, the alarm system can only be disarmed with a valid user code when night armed.
Night Arming Instant
Enter the night arming code for the selected area.
*96 night arms area ‘A’
*97 night arms area ‘B’
*98 night arms area ‘C’
*99 night arms area ‘D’
Instant night arming is identical to delayed night arming with the exception that there is no silent arming delay
and the system will arm instantly. When entering the night zone(s) protected area the system will generate an
instant alarm. In instant mode you can only disarm the system using a valid user code.

13
Arming Your System from a Remote Telephone
This function requires that your installer has connected a telephone line to the alarm control.
Dial the alarm’s telephone number and wait for two rings, hang up the telephone and call back within 60
seconds. The alarm will automatically answer on the first ring with a high low tone acknowledgement. Now
enter the sequence to arm areas.
*1 <enabled user code> # arms the area(s) assigned to this code
The audible exit pre-alert will be heard confirming the system is now arming. If the system is already in an
armed state a long beep will be heard. Only an enabled user code assigned to an area can arm that area. An
enabled user code assigned to ALL areas will arm all areas with one entry.

*74 area ‘D’ chime on or off

15
When the system is disarmed, entering one of the *7 commands will turn chime mode on or off. When turning
chime mode on, the keypad will emit a three second series of beeps. When one of the pre-programmed chime
zones is activated, such as a door entrance, an alert tone will sound at the keypad, alerting that someone has
entered the chime zone area. After the initial chime alert, chime mode sleeps and waits for no activity within
that zone/area. If after 30 seconds no further activity has been detected, the chime zone(s) will resume chime
monitoring and will again sound an alert tone if further activity is detected. When turning off the chime
function the keypad will emit a two beep tone.
