Keypad cheat sheet

• Arm (away)your code4

  • Arm from a wireless touchpad, with the doors and windows closed.
  • Key in your 4-digit access code, then straight away press 4 (AWAY). Every sensor, inside and out, is armed.
  • Four short beeps from the inside sirens confirm it, and the CPU display shows 4. There is a delay for you to leave.
  • Two-tone protest beeps mean a door or window is open. Its number shows on the CPU with all four red lights: close it, then arm again.
  • Level 5 (SILENT/AWAY) is the same, but the sirens stay quiet for a break-in. Never use it with anyone at home.

• Arm while homeyour code3oryour code6

  • For when you're home, use level 3, 6 or 7. Key in your access code, then the level number.
  • 3 (EXTERIOR): the outside doors and windows are armed, with a delay to come and go. Three short beeps.
  • 6 (NIGHT): outside sensors plus some inside ones; bedroom and bathroom sensors are usually left off. Delays apply. One long and one short beep.
  • 7 (INSTANT/NIGHT): the same as 6 with no entry or exit delay, so an opened door alarms at once. One long and two short beeps.

• Disarmyour code0

  • Key in your access code, then straight away press 0 (CANCEL/DISARM).
  • One long beep means the burglary protection is off. Panic, fire and other 24-hour sensors stay on.
  • The same keys cancel an accidental alarm.
  • Going down a level, say from 4 to 2? Disarm to 0 first, then choose the new level.
  • Under threat? Your duress code then any level works as usual but silently alerts the monitoring station. It can't be cancelled.

• Bypass a zoneyour codeBYPASS2-digit zone

  • SX-IVB calls zones sensors, each with a 2-digit number. Arm to the level you want first.
  • Then key in your access code, BYPASS and the sensor number. The number shows on the CPU and the BYPASS light comes on.
  • Do one sensor at a time, and before the exit delay ends if you're leaving. A temporary code can't do this.
  • Leaving a window open? Arm as usual, and when the protest beeps start, quickly press BYPASS.
  • Changing the level clears the bypass, so do it again if you still need it.

• Alarm memorySTATUS

  • Stand where you can see the CPU display and press STATUS.
  • If there was an alarm while it was armed, the ALARM light comes on with the number of each sensor that went off.
  • A blank display means there were no alarms. No beep tells you an alarm happened, so look.
  • The memory clears itself six hours after you disarm. Choosing level 9 (the sensor test) clears it straight away.

• Chime on or offyour code2

  • Chime is level 2: a chime sounds whenever an outside door or window opens.
  • Key in your access code, then press 2 (CHIME). Two short beeps confirm it.
  • Any SPECIAL sensors, such as a safe or gun cabinet, stay armed in this level too.
  • To stop the chime, disarm to level 0 with your code and 0.

• Panic alarmholdPOLICE+POLICEorholdFIRE+FIREorholdAUXILIARY+AUXILIARY

  • On the standard (wood frame) wireless touchpad, press both POLICE, both FIRE or both AUXILIARY buttons together for a full second.
  • The sirens sound and the monitoring station is told.
  • On the small hand-held touchpad, press POLICE and ALARM together for police, or AUXILIARY and ALARM together for 1 second.
  • Panic buttons are armed in levels 0 to 8, so they work even when the system is disarmed.

• Set a temporary codeyour codeSTATUSnew code

  • A second code, say for a babysitter: key in your access code, press STATUS, then the new 4-digit code.
  • The current level's beeps sound if it's accepted. If not, try again.
  • To cancel it, key in your code, press STATUS, then your own code again.
  • The temporary code can't bypass sensors directly.
  • Your installer sets the main access code, in the CPU's program mode. Ask them if it's still the factory code.

• Test the systemyour code8oryour code9

  • Test once a week. Level 8 (PHONE TEST) makes a test call to the monitoring station: one long and three short beeps.
  • The call worked when the station sounds your sirens for a few seconds or rings you. The display then goes from 8 to 0.
  • Level 9 (SENSOR TEST) gives one long and four short beeps and scrolls every sensor number. Never use it during a power cut.
  • Trip each sensor, and the touchpad fire (80), police (81) and auxiliary (82) buttons. Each number drops off with a short loud siren beep.
  • Done when no numbers show. Only duress calls work during the test, so after 15 minutes it goes back to level 0 by itself.

• Trouble lights

  • The CPU (the main unit) shows the protection level, a 2-digit sensor number and four red lights.
  • In a power cut the CPU runs on its battery for up to 15 hours. The display goes blank after about 15 minutes.
  • During a power cut, press STATUS to check it still works: status beeps mean all is well.
  • When the first low battery shows, change all the transmitter batteries in the system. Plan on every 12 to 18 months.
