Keypad cheat sheet

  • Arm (away)your codeorABC
    • Key in your code or show your card. If your installer allows setting without a code, [ABC] on an indoor keypad (or [*][1]) sets the whole system.
    • An indoor keypad (JA-80E, JA-80F) beeps and shows 'Exit delay'; its A, B and C lights show which sections are set.
    • Leave before the exit delay ends. If exit beeps are on, they get faster in the last 5 seconds.
    • 'Triggered det.' means a detector is open: [?] shows which. Close it. If bypass confirmation is requested, [*] accepts; without that confirmation it won't set.
    • The JA-80H outdoor keypad sets the system only if your installer set it up like an indoor keypad. Most often it only opens the door lock.

  • Arm while homeAorB
    • JA-80H: use these commands only if configured for alarm control. In door-lock mode, use an indoor keypad or key-fob.
    • Oasis calls this partial setting, if your installer has set it up. [*][2] (or [A] on an indoor keypad) sets section A; [*][3] (or [B]) sets A and B.
    • [*][1] (or [ABC]) sets the whole system. If your system needs a code for these, key in your code or show your card after the key.
    • Already part set? Set more with [*][3] or [*][1] (or [B] or [ABC]). The delayed zones give you an exit delay on the way out.
    • The exit delay may be silent when you part set.

  • Disarmyour code
    • Coming in starts the entrance delay: an indoor keypad shows 'Entrance delay' and may beep fast.
    • Key in your code, show your card, or use your key-fob before the delay ends.
    • Opened the door with the JA-80H outdoor keypad? If it only works the door lock, unset at an indoor keypad or with your key-fob during the delay.
    • On an indoor keypad, a flashing warning triangle and a device name mean there was an alarm. Check the house with care.
    • Your code, card or key-fob also stops an alarm that is sounding.
    Pages 8 to 10 of the Oasis GSM House Alarm User Manual
  • Bypass a zone*0master code1
    • Use an indoor keypad: the menu needs its display. While unset, press [*][0] and the master code (or show the master card): maintenance mode.
    • Press [1] for the bypass menu, then scroll to the detector with the arrow keys.
    • Press [2] to bypass it until the next unset (the warning triangle flashes), or [3] until you cancel it (triangle steady). Press again to undo.
    • [4] cancels every bypass. [#] leaves the menu, and [#] again leaves maintenance mode.
    • Setting with a bypass in place shows 'bypass' on the keypad.

  • Alarm memory#or*4
    • Use an indoor keypad; the JA-80H has no display. After an alarm, the flashing triangle and display identify the detector.
    • Press [#] to clear it from the display once the alarm has stopped.
    • [*][4] shows the most recent event on the display; keep pressing [4] to go back through the last 255 events.
    • Alarm while you were out? Someone could still be inside. If in doubt, have your monitoring company check first.

  • Panic alarm*7your code
    • On an indoor keypad, press [*][7], then your code or card, for a silent panic alarm and disarming.

    • To delete a code, key in 0000 as the new code.
    • Master code: [*][5], the current master code, then the new code twice. It can't be 0000.
    • Ten wrong codes in a row set off a tamper alarm.

  • Test the system*0master code
    • On an indoor keypad, while unset, press [*][0] and the master code. Check that Maintenance mode is shown before testing.
    • Set off the detectors one at a time. An indoor keypad's display shows each one.
    • Test key-fobs and panic buttons the same way, but only in maintenance mode: at other times a panic button raises a real alarm.
    • A motion detector may need up to 5 minutes before it reports again. If anything doesn't work, call your installer.
    • Press [#] to leave maintenance mode. Test monthly.

    • Then deal with the cause it shows: close an open door or window, for example.

Why is my keypad beeping or showing a trouble light?

Most keypads beep or light up a trouble indicator when something needs attention, such as a low backup battery, a power cut or a lost phone or internet connection. Your user guide explains what each light or code means on your model. If it keeps happening, or you are not sure, call your installer or monitoring company.

Is anyone watching your alarm?

An alarm that only makes a noise relies on someone hearing it. A monitored alarm reports to our A1 graded, NZSA approved control room, watched 24/7 by a team that is New Zealand owned and operated. We can monitor most existing alarms, so you may not need a new one. Thinking about a new alarm or security cameras? Ask us for a quote.
