2.0 Basic Operation
The Spectra 1689 LED and 1641BL LCD Keypad Modules
function in the same way, but display visual feedback
differently. This section will provide an overview of the
keypads.
Many of the features in your system must be enabled by the
installer. If the feature is not programmed, the keypad will
emit a rejection beep and the action will be cancelled. Refer
to System Checklist on page 38 for details.
2.1 Keypad Indicator Lights
The state of each light on the Spectra keypad modules
represents a specific condition in your system as shown in

2.2.2 For the Spectra 1641BL LCD Keypad Module
The LCD (liquid crystal display) is a 32-character screen that
displays messages that can be customized to your needs.
Figure 3: Overview of the 1641BL LCD Keypad Module
2.3 Auditory Feedback
When you enter information on the keypad, it will guide you
with beep tones. You should be familiar with these:
Confirmation Beep: When an operation (i.e. arming/
disarming) is successfully entered on the keypad or when the
system switches to a new status/mode, the keypad produces
an intermittent beep tone (“BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP”).
Rejection Beep: When the system reverts to previous status
or when an operation is incorrectly entered on the keypad, it
will emit a continuous beep tone (“BEEEEEEEEP”).
The messages on the LCD
screen will display the system’s
status and guide you through the
system’s operations.
When arrows appear in the LCD
screen, use the arrow buttons to
scroll through the menu.
