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.

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.

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.

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.
