User/Keypad Functions

11.6 System Disarming

The user must enter the protected area through a designated entry/exit point. The keypad will "beep" during the entry delay reminding the user to disarm the system. Upon entry of a valid access code, the red " ARM " indicator will extinguish and the keypad will emit a confirmation "beep" ( BEEP BEEP BEEP ) denoting the system has been disarmed. If an incorrect access code is entered, the keypad will emit a rejection "beep" (

BEEEEEEEEP

). Press the [

CLEAR

] key at any time to clear data and re-enter another access code. If an alarm was generated from a fire or 24-hour zone while the system was armed, entering a valid user code will silence the siren. However, you should then check the zone and eliminate the cause of the alarm. If you are unable to pinpoint the reason for the alarm, call your installer.

11.7 Alarm Memory

If an alarm condition occurs when the system is armed, the [ MEM ] key will turn on. A record of all alarm situations that occur is stored in memory. After disarming the system, pressing once on the

[

MEM

] key will display which zones were open during the alarm period by illuminating the corresponding zone indicator(s) or by displaying it on the LCD screen depending on the type of keypad used. Please note if the [

MEM

] key is pressed again when using LED keypads (636 and 646) you will enter the event display which can only be decoded with a 642 LCD keypad. To exit the alarm memory display, press the [

CLEAR

] key. If using a 642 LCD keypad press the [

MEM

] key followed by the [ INFO ] key and use the UP and DOWN keys to scroll through the event list in memory.

The alarms will remain in memory until the system is armed and disarmed without generating an alarm.

11.8 Keyswitch or Pushbutton Arming/Disarming

A keyswitch or push button can be used to "Stay" (section 11.4) or "Regular" (section 11.2) arm/disarm the system. If the system is ready and the button is pressed, the system will arm. Pressing the button again will disarm the system. If a "Stay" armed system is in entry delay or if an alarm has been generated while "Stay" armed, the keyswitch or push button can not be used to disarm the system. In this case, only a keypad can disarm the system. In a partitioned system the keyswitch or push button will arm/disarm "System A" regardless of the "System B" status. To enable this feature and set the options (stay or regular arming) refer to Arming Using Keyswitch in section 8.5.

11.9 Manual Zone Bypassing

When a zone is bypassed it will no longer be monitored by the control panel, hence, will not generate an alarm. A user may wish to bypass certain zones when, for example, workers are renovating part of the establishment or if a component in the system is damaged. Manual bypass arming instructs the control panel to ignore ("deactivate") specified zones in order to arm the remainder of the system.

Verify that the following options are set in the control panel so that a user can manually bypass zones:

?

You must first define which zones are Bypass Enabled Zones (see section 7.11). Zones not identified as Bypass Enabled can not be bypassed.

?

Only users with the appropriate Code Priority (see section 8.12) can bypass zones.

?

Please note, the control panel can not bypass fire zones.

To bypass zones, press the [

BYP

] key followed by a valid access code. If the wrong code was entered or a code without bypass priority, the keypad will emit a "rejection beep" ( BEEEEEEEP ). If the correct code is entered, the [

BYP

] key will flash to indicate that you are now in "bypass mode". If there are any currently bypassed zones, their respective zone indicators will turn on. Press the key corresponding to the zone you wish to bypass until their respective zone indicator turns on. If the
