2KEYPAD OVERVIEWThe LCD Supervised Remote Keypad adds remote control to Alarm Force Security System Panels. The wireless keypad transmits key presses to the panel and displays alphanumeric data received from the panel.A press of any key puts the keypad in a fully operational mode with backlit LCD and RF Transceiver active. After 15 seconds of inactivity the keypad will return to the standby mode unless tones are being generated. If tones are required, then the keypad will enter standby mode only when tone cycles have been completed.The keypad can be wall mounted and is powered by four 1.5 volt AA batteries. The batteries will operate the keypad for three years based on two minutes of operation per day. If the AA batteries become low, the keypad will send low battery reports to the panel. The keypad will continue to operate for 3 months after the fi rst low battery report.KEYPAD RESOURCESThe keypad consists of 20 silicone rubber keys. The keys are backlit making it visible in low light conditions.OK1234567890*#
3REAL TIME CLOCKThe keypad has a real time clock (RTC) that must be set during installation and after battery replacement. The RTC is required for the keypad to display time- and date-stamped events, using time offset data received from the panel. Time and date are also shown during the keypad status display when the keypad fi rst wakes up:KEYPAD READY28/07/2011 12:45AMDepending on the country/language selected, the time and date format is:French and Spanish display:DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM (24 hour time) -- defaultUS/English display:MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM (AM/PM)RTC time and date are set locally at the keypad from the keypad confi guration menu. A confi guration setting is also provided to manually turn on Daylight Saving Time (advances or sets back time by 1 hour).A “clock” key is provided for local keypad operation and confi guration:• Pressing the clock key once displays the keypad status and time and date on the LCD. • Pressing and holding the clock key for more than 1 second displays the time and date setting on the LCD (fl ashing digits), which can then be set using the numbers (0-9) and navigation keys ( ) on the keypad. • Pressing the clock key again provides the setting for Daylight Saving Time (DST) on/off.• Pressing OK toggles between AM-PM, DST ON-OFF• Pressing the clock key once more exits keypad set-up mode and resumes normal operation.LCDThe keypad has a two line, twenty characters LCD display. The display is backlit with LEDs for low light conditions. The LCD display text is controlled by commands from the panel. The keypad will also display information on the LCD upon wake-up (“keypad status”) and in response to certain key press combinations.The LCD is capable of displaying over 200 characters and symbols.
4Autonomous Keypad Commands and User PromptsIn most operations, the keypad will only send key presses to the panel and in response the panel will update the display, LED and tone annunciations as needed to refl ect the current state of the system. When doing an initial installation or manually activated program updates the keypad will function autonomously and provide user prompts without intervention by the panel.Entering autonomous keypad command operation: When the keypad detects the long press *, it will display the following user prompt on the 2-line LCD display:SPECIAL COMMAND<-- TOGGLE CHIME -->A long press * key press message is sent to the panel at this time. At this point, the panel may respond to disallow the operation of special commands if special commands are disabled. The keypad will display the reason the command is disallowed and abort the autonomous command mode: SPECIAL COMMANDS DISABLEDAlarm historyThe alarm history command is serviced by the ARM DISPLAY message packet. Up to 5 alarm events are sent from the panel to the keypad in a single message packet. These events are displayed one event at a time on the LCD. The user may scroll through these events by pressing the keys. Pressing OK exits the display (and autonomous command operation).Display example with 3 alarm events:07/22/11 1:55PMZONE 32 ALARM -->07/20/11 11:55AM<-- ZONE 21 ALARM -->06/17/11 12:55AM<-- ZONE 32 ALARM
5Arming historyThe arming history command is serviced by the ARM DISPLAY message packet. Individual arm or disarm events are sent from the panel to the keypad in a single message packet; if arming, any bypassed zones are also included (up to 15) in the same message packet. These events are displayed one event at a time on the LCD. The user may scroll through these events and bypassed zones by pressing the keys.When viewing the last event in the list, pressing the key when displaying an event with no bypassed zones or the last bypassed zone listed will cause the keypad to send the key press to the panel, which in turn will provide a DISPLAY ARM message packet for the next event in the panel’s arming history. When viewing the fi rst event in the list, pressing the key when displaying an arm or disarm event will send the key press to the panel, which will provide a DISPLAY ARM message packet for the previous event in the panel’s arming history. Pressing OK exits the display (and autonomous command operation).Display example with 3 arming events, the fi rst one with two bypassed zones:07/22/11 6:55AMKFOB 05 ARM AWAY -->07/22/11 6:55AM<-- BYPASS ZONE 05 -->07/22/11 6:55AM<-- BYPASS ZONE 08 -->07/22/11 9:55PM<-- USER 05 ARM HOME -->07/20/11 5:30PM<-- USER 05 DISARMED
6Keypad Low BatteryThe keypad communicates a low battery condition to the panel through the low battery bit set in the KEY PRESS message. If the battery is low, on keypad wake up the keypad will indicate a fault condition (beep and fl ash the LED red once) while briefl y displaying on the LCD a low battery prompt, instead of the usual keypad ready message:PLEASE REPLACEKEYPAD BATTERIESOnce the low battery condition occurs, key presses will also be annunciated by a double click instead of the usual single click.If the battery condition continues to deteriorate to marginal levels, the keypad may take measures to conserve power by limiting backlight operation or reducing inactivity timeout before going into standby. Communication FailureIf the keypad is unable to communicate with the panel during operation and receives a RETRY FAIL message from its transceiver, it will indicate a fault condition (beep and fl ash the LED red once) and display a prompt to the user:PLEASE RE-ENTERKEY SEQUENCEIf the keypad is active and the condition persists for more than 15 seconds, the keypad will repeat the fault indication. This will recur until the communication is restored or until the keypad times out and goes into standby mode.Piezo AnnunciatorThe keypad has a piezo sounder to indicate system conditions to the user. A short beep will occur every time a key is pressed. In addition, commands from the panel will instruct the sounder to operate in a specifi ed pattern.Bicolor LEDThe keypad has a red / green LED controlled by commands from the panel.
