Keypad cheat sheet

• Arm (away)your codeor#1

  • The READY light must be on, or SYSTEM READY on an LCD keypad. An open door or window stops you arming.
  • Key in your 4-digit user code. The ARMED light comes on.
  • Leave by your exit/entry door before the exit delay ends. An LCD shows ON AWAY, with EXIT NOW until the delay ends.
  • If your installer turned on quick arming, [#][1] arms with no code. You still need your code to disarm.

• Arm while homeSTAYyour code

  • Stay arms the outside doors and windows and leaves the inside zones off, so you can walk around.
  • When the system is ready, press [STAY], then your code. ARMED comes on, and an LCD shows ON: STAY.
  • On an XL4612 keypad the RDY light blinks slowly; on a 7015 the STAY light comes on.
  • [INSTANT] [STAY] then your code also removes the entry delay; you can't go out an entry door then. Ask your installer if Instant applies to you.
  • Disarm before you go out. Stay clears itself when you disarm.

  • Key in your code. The ARMED light goes off, and an LCD shows SYSTEM READY.
  • If there was an alarm, an LED keypad's zone lights or the LCD show where (LCD: ALARM MEM ZN 01). A steady tone means burglary; a pulsing tone, fire.
  • Key in your code again to clear the display and silence the keypad.
  • Came home to an alarm? Don't go in: call for help from a neighbour's phone.

• Bypass a zoneBYPASSyour code2-digit zone

  • Press [BYPASS], your code, then the zone as 2 digits (01 to 12). For zone 2 that ends in 02.
  • The keypad gives a continuous beep. An LED keypad blinks the zone's light slowly and dimly; an LCD shows BYPASS ZN and the zone.
  • The same keys on a bypassed zone unbypass it.
  • If your installer set up quick bypass, [BYPASS] and the zone number is enough.
  • Bypassed zones aren't protected while the system is armed.

  • Some detectors, such as glass-break detectors, need resetting after they've gone off.

  • Press [CODE], a master code, the user number as 2 digits (01 to 30), then the new 4-digit code.
  • Four quick beeps mean a mistake: start the whole thing again. Avoid obvious, easy-to-guess codes.
  • To delete a user: [CODE], a master code, the user number, then [#]. Users 1 and 2 can't be deleted.

• Trouble lights

  • On an LED keypad, a zone light that's off means that zone is ready. The table shows the other states.
  • On a 7015 keypad the AC light goes off on battery power, and a slowly pulsing BAT light means a low battery.
  • After an alarm or trouble, disarm, then key your code in again to clear the display and silence the keypad.
  • LED keypad lights blinking fast in turn every 30 seconds (a 7005 shows a message) mean the clock needs setting.
