FBII XL-2 manuals

Keypad cheat sheet

• Arm (away)your code

  • An LED keypad's READY (RDY) light must be on; an LCD shows SYSTEM READY. You can't arm with a zone open.
  • Not ready? An LED keypad lights the zones that aren't ready; an LCD shows NOT RDY and the zone. Close them, or bypass them.
  • Key in your 4-digit code. The ARM light comes on and an LCD shows ON AWAY.
  • Leave through your entry/exit door before the exit delay ends.
  • If your installer has set up quick arming, [#][1] arms without a code. You still need a code to disarm.

• Arm while homeStayyour codeorStayInstantyour code

  • Stay arms the outside doors and windows but leaves the inside zones off, so you can move about.
  • When the system is ready, press [STAY], then your code. The ARM light comes on, and a STAY light if your keypad has one; an LCD shows ON: STAY.
  • No entry delay as well: [STAY], [INSTANT], then your code (ON:STAY INSTANT). Anyone coming in sets it off at once. XL-2T: if your installer turned it on.
  • [INSTANT] on its own arms the inside zones too, so it's not for staying home.
  • Stay and Instant are cleared when you disarm. Disarm before you go out.

• Disarmyour code

  • Key in your code. The ARM light goes out and an LCD shows SYSTEM READY.
  • Your code also resets the system after a false alarm, such as smoke setting off a fire alarm.
  • Alarm while you were away? Don't go in. Call for help from a neighbour's house and wait for the police.

• Bypass a zoneBypassyour codezone

  • Each detector or door contact is a zone. A bypassed zone is not protected while the system is armed.
  • Press [BYPASS], key in your code, then the zone number (1 to 6; 1 to 7 on an XL-2T).
  • A continuous beep confirms it. An LED keypad blinks the zone's light slowly; an LCD shows BYPASS and the zone.
  • Do the same again to unbypass it.

• Panic alarm*+#or7+9or1+3

  • Press both keys at the same time: [*]+[#] for Panic, [7]+[9] for Fire, [1]+[3] for Auxiliary.
  • Your installer has to turn these on. Ask how they are set up on your system.
  • An XL4600SM keypad also has two keys marked P below its function keys: press them together.
  • Forced to disarm? If your installer has set up ambush, user code 6 (15 on an XL-2T) also sends an emergency signal.
