2.1 AUDITORY FEEDBACK (BEEP TONES)
When you enter information on your keypad, it 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/
menu, your keypad will emit intermittent beep tones
(“BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP”).
Half Beep: When a step of an operation is successfully entered on
the keypad, it will emit short intermittent beep tones (“BEEP-BEEP-
BEEP”).
Rejection Beep: When reverting to a previous status, or when an
operation is incorrectly entered, your keypad will emit a continuous
beep (“BEEEEEEEEP”).
2.2 KEYPAD INDICATOR LIGHTS
For this keypad, the state of the “Status”, “AC”, and “Action” lights
(see figure 1 on page 4) represent a specific condition in your
system.
2.2.1 NORMAL MODE
If no actions are being performed on your keypad, it will remain in
Normal Mode. In Normal Mode the keypad will illuminate:
• The “AC” light if power is present.
• The numerical lights representing any open or tampered zones.
• The area lights if any areas are armed.
• The MEM action light if any alarms have occurred.
• The TRBL action light if any troubles are occurring.

6 User’s Manual
2.2.2 CONFIDENTIAL MODE
The installer can program your keypad not to display the status of
your system by changing the keypad from Normal Mode to
Confidential Mode. This occurs when your keypad has been inactive
for a period of time defined by your installer. In Confidential Mode all
the indicator lights will turn off. Depending on how your keypad was
programmed by your installer, you must either press a key or enter
your User Access Code to activate Normal Mode.
2.2.3 MULTIPLE-ACTION
If your installer has enabled this feature, your keypad will permit you
to complete more than one action without having to reenter your User
Access Code. Press the [Clear] key to exit the User Menu.
2.2.4 ILLUMINATION

3.0 PARTITIONED SYSTEM
Your installer can set your keypad to recognize 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 and a
warehouse area, can arm and disarm each area separately while
controlling 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.
3.1 AREA DISPLAY
The Area Status Display enables you to see the status of the
individual areas within a partitioned system (see section 3.0).
Depending upon which system you have, your installer can partition
the system into separate areas. Your keypad can be programmed to
display up to four areas. These areas are indicated as area lights A1
to A4.
Your keypad will emit a Confirmation Beep and remain in
that area’s status for two minutes then return to Normal or
Confidential Mode. You can perform the next desired action
from Area Status Display.
How do I see the status of the areas?
1) Enter your [Access Code].
2) Press the key corresponding to the area you want to view. Open
zones assigned to the area will illuminate and display their status
(figure 1 on page 4).
3) Press the [Clear] key to exit.

8 User’s Manual
In Area Status Display, the following will illuminate for the area
selected:
• The area lights (A1, A2, A3, and A4) if the associated area is
armed. For example, if you have selected area 3 and it is currently
armed, A3 will illuminate.
• The numerical light(s) representing any open zone(s) in a
corresponding area or areas.
• The MEM action light if any alarms have occurred.
• The TRBL action light if any troubles are occurring.
• The STAY action light if the area is Stay or Instant Armed.
• The FORCE action light if the area is Force Armed.
• The BYP action light if zones are bypassed.
4.0 ZONES
Zones are protected spaces within an area, which are monitored by
the alarm system. Zones can be protected by devices such as
magnetic door contacts and motion detectors.
4.1 ZONE DISPLAY
The numerical lights display the status of the individual zones within
a partitioned system. Your keypad can display up to 48 zones which
are displayed on numerical lights 1 to 48.

Digiplex 848/DigiplexNE LED Keypads 9n
5.0 ARMING
When the system is armed, it will respond to any breach in the zones
according to the way each zone is programmed. For example, if
someone opens a window that is armed, the system can trigger an
alarm and alert your security company.
5.1 EXIT DELAY TIMER
Arming the system will start the Exit Delay Timer. This will provide
enough time for you to exit the protected area before the system
arms. 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 beep while the time elapses on the timer.
5.2 REGULAR ARMING
This method is used for 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 Area Display on page 7.
Use One-Touch keys (see section 5.6) or a keyswitch to arm
the area (see section 5.7).
How do I Regular Arm the system?
1) Enter your [Access Code]. Your keypad will emit a Confirmation
Beep. The ACCESS action light will flash.
2) Press the [Arm] key. If you have access to more than one area,
press the number key representing the area you want to arm or
press the [0] key for all assigned areas. After the Confirmation
Beep, the Exit Delay Timer will begin.

10 User’s Manual
5.3 STAY ARMING
Stay Arming will partially arm your system to permit you to remain in
the protected area. 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.
Use One-Touch keys (see section 5.6) or a keyswitch to arm
the area (see section 5.7).
5.4 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 points, 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.
Use One-Touch keys (see section 5.6) or a keyswitch (see
section 5.7) to arm the area.
How do I Stay Arm?
1) Enter your [Access Code].
2) Press the [Stay] key.
If you have access to more than one area, press the area’s
number, then press the [0] key. The STAY LED and the
selected area LED will illuminate.

Digiplex 848/DigiplexNE LED Keypads 11n
5.5 FORCE ARMING
Force Arming allows you to arm your system when specific zones are
open. Your installer can program certain zones 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 occupied by a keypad. During Force Arming, the motion
detector will remain unarmed (will be ignored) until you exit the area
that it protects. The system will then arm the motion detector.
How do I Instant Arm?
1) Enter your [Access Code]. Your keypad will emit a Confirmation
Beep. The ACCESS action light will flash.
2) Press the [5] key.
If you have access to more than one area, press the number key
representing the area you want to Instant Arm or the [0] key for all
assigned areas. After the Confirmation Beep, the Exit Delay Timer
will begin the countdown to arming.
How do I Force Arm?
1) Enter your [ACCESS CODE].
2) Press the [Force] key.
If you have access to more than one area, press the area’s
number, press the [0] button for all areas. The Force LED
and the selected area LED will illuminate.

12 User’s Manual
You may use the One-Touch keys (see section 5.6) or a
keyswitch (see section 5.7) to arm the area. Ask your
installer for details.
5.6 ONE-TOUCH KEYS
Your installer can program your system to respond to certain features
with the touch of a key. You will then access these features without
using your User Access Code by pressing and holding the desired
key. To do so, press and hold the following keys.

14 User’s Manual
If you have access to more than one area, the symbol(s)
corresponding to the area(s) for which you have access will
illuminate in sequence. Press the number key representing
the area you want to arm. To view the time set, instead of
entering the time in Step 4, the first number of the time you
set will illuminate. Press the [U]key to illuminate the
numbers one at a time (numerical light 10 represents zero).
5.8.2 NOMOVEMENT AUTO-ARMING
Your system can send a report to the security 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.
5.9 BYPASS PROGRAMMING
The installer can program certain zones with the bypass option. This
will enable you to program the system to bypass certain zones when
you arm the protected area. When a zone is bypassed, it will be
ignored the next time you arm the system. If for example, you are
renovating part of a protected area you can bypass some of its zones.
The system will keep the bypassed zone(s) in memory until the area is
armed. Once the area is disarmed, the system will unbypass the zones.
To Bypass a Zone:
• Your installer must program the selected zone(s) to have the
Bypass feature enabled.
• Program your User Access Code to include the Bypass option.
• Ensure that your User Access Code can access the zone’s area
assignment.

Digiplex 848/DigiplexNE LED Keypads 15n
Fire Zones cannot be bypassed.
5.9.1 BYPASS RECALL
The Bypass Recall feature enables you to bypass the same zones
that were bypassed previously at the touch of a key.
How do I bypass a zone?
1) Enter your [Access Code]. Your keypad will emit a Confirmation
Beep and the ACCESS action light will flash.
2) Press the [Byp] key. The PRG action light will illuminate and the

5) Press the [Enter] key to exit.

Digiplex 848/DigiplexNE LED Keypads 17n
6.0 DISARMING
When the system is disarmed, the system deactivates the zones so
the alarm will not be triggered if zones are breached. Any user can
disarm the system unless their code has been assigned the Arm
Only option.
24hr. zones/Fire Zones are always active (enabled),
therefore will always generate an alarm if triggered.
6.1 ENTRY DELAY TIMER
Based on your instructions the installer will program designated entry
points, such as the front door or the garage door, with an entry delay.
This delay will allow you enough time to enter your code to disarm
the system before the alarm is triggered.
6.2 DISARMING AN ARMED SYSTEM
You will only be able to disarm the area to which your User Access
Code is assigned. User Access Codes with the Arm Only option will
not be able to disarm the system.
