2.0 INTRODUCTION
Your Digiplex™ Security System is an advanced technology
security system that will provide you with reliable security
protection and powerful features that are easy to use. The
elegant and user-friendly Digiplex LCD Keypad will allow you
easy access to your security system's functions and information
at the touch of a button. The 32-character LCD screen will
display messages and menus to guide you through the system’s
operations. Your installer can even customize the messages for
your home or business.
Since you will communicate your instructions to your system
through the keypad, please read this manual carefully and have
your installer explain basic system operation.

3.0 BASIC OPERATION
Everything you need to know about your security system is
clearly displayed on the large LCD screen. The menus and the
prompt on the LCD screen provide simple, step-by-step
instructions on how to use your system and display what is
occurring in your system. The following sections will introduce
you to the roles of the buttons, the lights, and messages on your
Digiplex LCD Keypad.
Figure 2-1: Basic Overview

3.1 AUDITORY FEEDBACK (BEEP TONES)
When you enter information on the keypad, the keypad will guide
you with beep tones to communicate acceptance or rejection of
your entries.
Confirmation Beep: When an operation (i.e. arming/disarming)
is successfully entered or when the system switches to a new
status/mode, the keypad emits an intermittent beep tone (“BEEP-
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP”).
Rejection Beep: When the system reverts to previous status, or
when an operation is incorrectly entered, the keypad emits a tone
(“BEEEEEEEEEEP”).
3.2 KEYPAD INDICATOR LIGHTS
The state of the two colored lights on the keypad (see Figure 2-1
page 7) represents a specific condition in your system.
3.3 LCD SCREEN
The LCD (liquid crystal display) is a 32-character screen that
communicates messages, instructions, and the status of your
system. The backlight, contrast, and scrolling speed are
adjustable (see section 8.2). Your installer can customize many of
the messages to suit your needs.

Digiplex LCD Keypad’s 9
3.3.1 Normal Mode
When no actions are being performed on the keypad, the keypad will
remain in Normal Mode as shown in Figure 2-2 on page 9 and will
automatically display:
•The current status of the zones for every area the keypad is
assigned
•The Alarm Memory Display (see section 5.3) if any alarms have occurred
•The Trouble Display (see section 7.0) if any troubles are occurring
•The current state of the Indicator Lights
Figure 2-2: Normal and Confidential Mode
3.3.2 Confidential Mode
The installer can program keypads not to display the status of your system
automatically by changing the LCD screen to Confidential Mode. In
Confidential Mode:
• The zones and status messages will NOT be displayed
• The Indicator Lights will not illuminate
• Depending on how your keypad was programmed by the installer,
you must either press a button or enter your User Access Code to
illuminate the Indicator Lights and activate Normal Mode.

3.4 USER MENU
Once you enter your User Access Code and are granted access to
the system, the LCD screen will display the User Menu as shown in
Figure 2-3. From this menu you can access various features and
other menus. Depending on the User Options programmed on your
User Access Code, you will have access to some or all of the
features and menus in the User Menu.
Press the desired Action Button (see Figure 2-1, page 7), or
scroll through the menu by using the and buttons on
the right of the keypad and press the button. Once you
have completed an action (i.e. arming, disarming, etc.), the LCD
screen will return to Normal Mode.

Digiplex LCD Keypad’s 11
3.4.1 Multiple-action
The Multiple-action feature permits you to complete more than one action
after entering the User Menu. If your installer has enabled this feature, the
LCD screen will return to the User Menu after each action so you may
perform another action without having to re-enter your User Access Code.
Press the button to exit the User Menu.
3.5 PARTITIONED SYSTEM
Your installer can design your system to recognize up to four
separate protected areas. A separated system is called a
Partitioned System, which can be useful in situations where
shared security systems are more practical. For example, a
company that has both an office area and a warehouse area can
arm and disarm each area separately and control the access to
each area. Therefore, one person may have access to only one
area, whereas another person may have access to all areas.
Access to the areas is determined by the User Access Code.
3.6 AREA STATUS DISPLAY
In Area Status Display you will be able to see the status of the
areas in a Partitioned System (see section 3.5) for the area(s) the
keypad is assigned. If your LCD screen is in Confidential Mode
(see section 3.3.2), you must first press a button or enter your
User Access Code to activate Normal Mode depending on how
your keypad is programmed.

12 User’s Manual
In Area Status Display the following will scroll on the LCD
screen:
•“ready” if all zones in the selected area are closed
•“not ready” if zones in the selected area are open
• open zones within that area
•“Trouble(s)” (see section 7.0) if a trouble has occurred
•“Alarms in Memory” (see section 5.3) if an alarm has occurred
How do I see the status of the zones?
1) Enter [ACCESS CODE]then press the button corresponding to
the area:
= Area 1 = Area 3
= Area 2 = Area 4
2) Press to exit.

Digiplex LCD Keypad’s 13
4.0 ARMING
When the system is armed, the alarm system will respond to any
breach in the zones according to the zone’s programming. For
example, if someone opens a window that is armed, the alarm
system will trigger the alarm and can alert your Security Company.
4.1 EXIT DELAY TIMER
When you arm the system, it will start the Exit Delay Timer to
provide you with enough time to exit the protected area before
the system is armed. The Status Light will flash green while the
time elapses.
The timer can be assigned different time limits and the keypad
can be programmed to display the time remaining and/or beep
while the time elapses on the timer. Discuss these options with
your installer.
4.2 REGULAR ARMING
This method is used for the everyday arming of the system. All
zones within the protected area must be closed to arm the
system. To check the status of the zones in each area, refer to
section 3.6 Area Status Display.

14 User’s Manual
If enabled by the installer, the One-Touch Buttons
(section 4.6) or a keyswitch (section 4.7) can also be
used to arm the area.
4.3 STAY ARMING
Stay Arming will partially arm your system to permit you to remain in
the protected area. Based on your instructions, your installer will
program specific zones as Stay Zones. These zones will not arm
when you Stay Arm. For example, you can arm your doors and
windows at home without arming the motion detectors so you will be
protected while you sleep. Only User Access Codes with the Stay
and Instant Arm option enabled can Stay Arm the system. Also, see
section 4.8 Auto-Arming for another everyday arming option.
How do I Regular Arm the system?
1) Enter your [ACCESS CODE].
After Confirmation Beep, “Access Granted” should appear.
2) Press the button.
If you have access to more than one area, press the area’s
number, press the button for all areas, or use the
and buttons and press when the area you
want to arm appears.
After the Confirmation Beep, “Regular Arming” should appear
on the LCD screen and the exit delay timer will begin the
countdown to arming.

Digiplex LCD Keypad’s 15
4.3.1 Stay Arming with Delay
Stay Arming with Delay functions like Stay Arming except the
installer can program armed zones with an Entry Delay Timer. If
these zones are accidently triggered, the timer will start to allow you
time to disarm the area(s).
If enabled by the installer, the One-Touch Buttons (section 4.6)
or a keyswitch (section 4.7) can be used to arm the area.
4.4 INSTANT ARMING
This feature is similar to Stay Arming. Instant Arming will partially arm
your system to permit you to remain in the protected area, but all
zones, including the entry/exit point, are changed to instant alarm
zones. Therefore, if any armed zone is breached, the alarm will
instantly be triggered. Only User Access Codes with the Stay and
Instant Arm option enabled will be able to Instant Arm.
How do I Stay Arm?
1) Enter your [ACCESS CODE].
After Confirmation Beep, “Access Granted” should appear.
2) Press button.

the installer can program certain armed zones within the
protected area(s) with an Entry Delay Timer. If these zones are
accidently triggered, the timer will start to allow you enough time
to disarm the area(s).
If enabled by the installer, the One-Touch Buttons
(section 4.6) or a keyswitch (section 4.7) can also be
used to arm the area.
4.5 FORCE ARMING
Force Arming allows you to arm your system when specific
zones are open. Certain zones can be programmed by the
installer to remain unarmed when you initiate Force Arming.
Once the open zone is closed, however, the system will then arm

it as well. Only User Access Codes with the Force Arm option
enabled can Force Arm the system. This feature is commonly
used when a motion detector is protecting an area that is
occupied by a keypad. During Force arming, the motion detector
will remain unarmed until you exit the area that it protects. The
system will then arm the motion detector.
If enabled by the installer, the One-Touch Buttons
(section 4.6) or a keyswitch (section 4.7) can also be

4.7 KEYSWITCH ARMING
Your installer can add a keyswitch to arm and disarm your
system. The keyswitch can be programmed to Regular, Stay,
Force, or Instant Arm, and Disarm a specific area. The keyswitch
will also be programmed by the installer to function as a
Maintained or Momentary keyswitch.
4.7.1 Maintained Keyswitch
To arm the system, place in the “on” position.
To disarm the system, place in the “off” position.
4.7.2 Momentary keyswitch
To arm the system, place in the “on” position briefly then place it back
in the “off” position. Repeating this process will disarm the system.
4.8 AUTO-ARMING
Your installer can program your system to allow you to arm your
system automatically if specific conditions occur.

Company and/or arm the system if there is no activity in the area during
a specified period of time. Speak to your installer about this feature.
4.9 BYPASS PROGRAMMING
The installer can program certain zones with the bypass option
so you can program the system to bypass certain zones when
you arm the protected area. When a zone is bypassed, it will
remain unarmed once the system is armed. This option may be
useful, for example, when renovating part of the protected area.
