AFx LCD keypad cheat sheet

• Arm (away)

  • Key in your user ID, then your PIN, as the screen asks. Some systems ask for only one of them.
  • The three buttons under the screen have no words on them: each one picks the word shown above it.
  • Press the button under On. At All Areas ON?, choose Yes for all, or No, then On for each area, Nxt to move on and Done.
  • When Area(s) arming shows, leave by your exit door. Standard delay beeps speed up in the last 15 seconds; other setups use a steady tone.

  Area(s) to....ON	Press the button under OK to confirm; Review goes back so you can change your choice
  Points not Ok	Something is open: press the button under View, then close it or bypass it. Arming then carries on

• Arm while home

  • Stay turns on the doors and windows but leaves the inside motion detectors off, so people can stay in.
  • Key in your user ID and PIN, then press the button under Stay.
  • If area choices appear, select the areas and confirm with Done and OK. Close or bypass any points the keypad reports as not OK.
  • The red keypad light stays on steadily in Stay. It flashes when the system is fully on.

  Stay On	Press the button under Stay
  On, with no Stay	Your user isn't allowed to use Stay

• Disarm

  • Come in by your entry door. The keypad beeps and the screen shows To Disarm.
  • Key in your user ID and PIN, then press the button under Off. Stay instead keeps the doors and windows armed.
  • Finish before entry time ends. Standard beeps speed up in the last 15 seconds; an alternative setup uses a steady tone.
  • Forced to disarm? Swap the last two digits of your PIN. This sends a duress alarm unless your installer disabled it.

  Off Stay	Press the button under Off
  All Areas Off?	Yes: every area. No: set each area with Off, Nxt to move on, then Done

• Cancel a false alarm

  • Log in while the screen shows In Alarm, then answer each screen with the button under your choice.
  • Verifying with your PIN tells the monitoring station you are cancelling a false alarm.
  • Verify within a minute of the alarm or the station won't accept it. Fire alarms can't be cancelled.
  • Cancelling isn't offered everywhere: ask your alarm company if yours does.

  Silence System?	Press the button under Yes
  Verify User?	Press the button under Yes, then key in your PIN again
  Off Stay	Press the button under Off, then Yes if All Areas Off? shows
  Had an Alarm, with the sensor's name	Press the button under Ack to finish disarming

• Bypass a zone

  • The AFx calls each detector or door contact a point. The area must be off: you can't bypass while it's on.
  • Log in, press ► until Menu Options shows Bypass, then press the button under Ok.
  • Press the button under Pts for this area's points, or under All for every area. Step through them with ►.
  • With the point on screen, press the button under Bypass. Delbyp takes the bypass off again.
  • The bypass lifts when the area is next turned off, if your user has that authority. Press ✕ a few times to log out.

  Pts Next All	Pts: this area's points. Next: the next area. All: points in every area
  Bypass ?	Bypass: the system ignores this point. ?: jumps to the next point that isn't OK

• Chime on or offf+5

  • No code needed. Hold the f key (bottom left) and press 5 at the same time.
  • Do the same again to turn chime off.
  • With chime on, opening a door gives three short, low beeps at the keypad.
  • It works while the system is off or in Stay, if your installer has set it up.

  • The yellow light on means a fault; flashing means the mains power is off.
