2.0 BASIC OPERATION
Your security system communicates by illuminating the “AC” Light, the “Status”
Light, and the various symbols on the screen as explained in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1: Basic Overview

8User’s Manual
2.1 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/menu, the
keypad emits an intermittent beep tone (“BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP”).
Half Beep: When a step of an operation is successfully entered on the
keypad, the keypad emits a short intermittent beep tone (“BEEP-BEEP-BEEP”).
Rejection Beep: When reverting to a previous status, or when an operation
is incorrectly entered, the keypad emits a continuous beep (“BEEEEEEEEP”).
2.2 KEYPAD INDICATOR LIGHTS
On all Digiplex LED Keypads, the state of the “STATUS”, “AC” Lights, and Action
Symbols (see Figure 2-1 page 7) represents a specific condition in your system.
2.3 LED KEYPADS
There are three versions of the LED Keypads: the 10-zone, the 20-zone,
and the 48-zone keypads. Each keypad can be assigned to one area or
many areas in a Partitioned System. The three keypads function in the
same way and any reference to one keypad applies to each of the LED
Keypads. The only difference between the versions is the number of zones
that each can display.

Digiplex LED Keypads 9
2.3.1 Normal Mode
When no actions are being performed on the keypad, the keypad will remain in
Normal Mode. In Normal mode the LED keypad will illuminate:
• The “AC” Light if power is present
• The Numerical Symbols representing any open zones
• The Area Symbols if any areas are armed
• The [MEM]Symbol if any alarms have occurred
• The [TRBL]Symbol if any troubles are occurring
• The [BYP]Symbol if zones are bypassed
and show the status of the “Status” Light (see Figure 2-1,page 7)
2.3.2 Confidential Mode
The installer can program the keypads not to display the status of your system
automatically by changing the LED keypad from Normal Mode to Confidential
Mode. In Confidential Mode all the Symbols and Keypad Indicator Lights are
extinguished. Depending on how your keypad was programmed by the
installer, you must either press a button or enter your User Access Code to
activate Normal Mode.
2.3.3 Multiple-action
If your installer has enabled this feature, the LED Keypad will permit you to
complete more than one action without having to re-enter your User
Access Code. Press the button to exit the User Menu.

2.3.4 Backlight
The illumination behind the buttons can be modified to suit your needs.
2.4 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.
How do I modify the Backlight?
1) Enter your [ACCESS CODE].
The keypad will emit a Confirmation Beep. The [ACCESS] Symbol will flash.
2) Press the button.
The keypad will emit a Confirmation Beep, the [PRG] Symbol will illuminate,
and the Numerical Symbol for the current setting will illuminate.
3) Use the and buttons to increase or decrease the illumination.
The range is between zero (Numerical Symbol [10]) and seven (Numerical
Symbol [7]) with seven being the brightest.
4) Press the button to save and exit.

Digiplex LED Keypads 11
2.5 AREA STATUS DISPLAY
In Area Status Display you will be able to see the status of the individual
areas in a Partitioned System (see section 2.4).
In Area Status Display the following will illuminate for the area selected:
• The Area Symbol (A1, A2, A3, and A4) if the area is armed. For example,
if you press , and Area 3 is armed, [A3] will illuminate.
• The Numerical Symbols representing any open zones. For example, if
zone 6 was open, then the Numerical Symbol [6] would illuminate.
•The [MEM]Symbol if any alarms have occurred
•The [TRBL]Symbol if any troubles are occurring
•The [STAY]Symbol if the area is Stay or Instant Armed
•The [FORCE]Symbol if the area is Force Armed
•The [BYP]Symbol if zones are bypassed
•The state of the “Status” Light
How do I see the status of the zones?
1) Enter your [ACCESS CODE]
2) Press the numbered button corresponding to the desired area:
= Area 1 = Area 3
= Area 2 = Area 4
3) The keypad will emit a Confirmation Beep and will remain 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.

3.0 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.
3.1 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 beep
while the time elapses on the timer. Discuss these options with your installer.
3.2 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 2.5 Area Status Display.

Digiplex LED Keypads 13
If enabled by your installer, the One-Touch Buttons (section 3.6) or
a keyswitch (section 3.7) can also be used to arm the area.
3.3 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 3.8 Auto-Arming for another everyday arming option.
3.3.1 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).
How do I regular arm the system?
1) Enter your [ACCESS CODE].
The keypad will emit a Confirmation Beep. The [ACCESS]Symbol will flash.
2) Press the button.
If you have access to more than one area, press the Number Button
representing the area you want to arm or [0] for all assigned areas.
After the Confirmation Beep, the Exit Delay Timer will begin.

14 User’s Manual
If enabled by your installer, the One-Touch Buttons (section 3.6) or
a keyswitch (section 3.7) can also be used to arm the area.
3.4 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.
3.4.1 Instant Arming with Delay
Instant Arming with Delay functions like Instant Arming except 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).
How do I Stay Arm?
1) Enter your [ACCESS CODE].
The keypad will emit a Confirmation Beep. The [ACCESS]Symbol will flash.
2) Press button.
If you have access to more than one area, press the Number Button
representing the area you want to Stay Arm or [0] for all assigned areas.
After the Confirmation Beep, the Exit Delay Timer will begin the count-
down to arming.

Digiplex LED Keypads 15
If enabled by your installer, the One-Touch Buttons (section 3.6) or
a keyswitch (section 3.7) can also be used to arm the area.
3.5 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. Also, see
section 3.8 Auto-Arming for another everyday arming option.
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.
How do I Instant Arm?
1) Enter your [ACCESS CODE].
The keypad will emit a Confirmation Beep. The [ACCESS]Symbol will flash.
2) Press the button.
If you have access to more than one area, press the Number Button
representing the area you want to Instant Arm or [0] for all assigned areas.
After the Confirmation Beep, the Exit Delay Timer will begin the countdown
to arming.

16 User’s Manual
If enabled by your installer, the One-Touch Buttons (section 3.6) or
a keyswitch (section 3.7) can also be used to arm the area.
3.6 ONE-TOUCH BUTTONS
At the touch a button you can view the Area Status Display (see section
2.5) for a Partitioned System (see section 2.4).

3.7 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.
3.7.1 Maintained Keyswitch
To arm the system, place in the “on” position.
To disarm the system, place in the “off” position.
3.7.2 Momentary keyswitch
To arm the system, place in the “on” position briefly then place it back in

represents zero).
3.8.2 No Movement Auto-Arming
Your system can be programmed to 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.
3.9 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 remain unarmed once
the system is armed. This option may be useful, for example, when you
are renovating part of the protected area. 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:
The zone must have the Bypass option programmed by the installer.
Your User Access Code must be programmed to enable the Bypass option.
Your User Access Code must have access to the zone’s Area Assignment.
Fire Zones cannot be bypassed.
