An audible emergency sends an emergency message to the central station 
(if connected) and will sound a loud, steady alarm at your keypad and at any 
external sounders that may be connected (ALARM plus a zone number 
would also be displayed). 
A personal emergency alarm sends an emergency message to the central 
station (if connected) and will sound at Keypads, but not at external bells or 
sirens. (ALARM plus a zone number would also be displayed.) 
A fire alarm sends a fire alarm message to the central station and will 
uniquely sound external bells and sirens (FIRE plus a zone number would 
also be displayed).

Speed Key (Macros) 
General Information 
The “A”, “B”, “C”, and/or “D” keys can be used to activate a string of 
commands up to 32 keystrokes each.  These commands are known as a macro 
and are stored in the system’s memory.  Typical Speed Key functions include: 
• Arming sequences that involve first bypassing certain zones before 
arming. 
• Seldom used but repeatable sequences. 
• Relay activation sequences. 
NOTE: If a speedkey function includes an arming sequence and the user 
executing it has global arming, all partitions the user can global arm will 
arm. 
Defining 
To program a macro, enter your user code +   #  + [D]. The following 
appears: 
ENTER SPEED KEY # 
01-32            00=QUIT 
Enter the 2-digit Speed Key number (01-32) being defined and press [*].  
Enter up to 32 keystrokes.  A Speed Key sequence can include different 
commands.  Press the D key to separate different commands.  For example, 
you may want to perform the following sequence. 
GOTO partition 2...................... Enter *2 
Bypass zones 10 & 11 ............... Press bypass [6], then the zone numbers 010 
& 011 
Arm in maximum mode............ Press maximum [4] key

Access Door Control 
General Information 
Your system may be set up such that a locked access door (such as in a lobby) 
can be unlocked momentarily or for a specific period of time, using a keypad 
command.  Ask your installer if this has been done in our system. 
Executing 
There are several entries that can be entered at the keypad to activate this 
command: 
1. Enter your security code + [0].  The door will unlock for 2 seconds. 
2. Enter your security code +  # 
 + 73, or security code +  #  + 74 + access 
point.  The door will unlock for a specific period of time. 
3. Enter your security code +  # 
 + 75 + access point + function.  The 
functions available are None, Grant, Protect and Bypass.  Grant will 
temporarily unlock a door to allow an access.  Protect will cause a door to 
unlock only when a valid access is received.  Bypass will cause a door to 
be permanently unlocked to allow continuous access. 
4. Access control functions may also be executed use your security code +

Using #70 Relay Menu Mode 
General Information 
Your system may be set up so that certain lights or other devices can be turned 
on or off by using the #70 command from either a keypad or a telephone keypad 
(if 4286 VIP module is used). Ask your installer if this has been done in your 
system. 
To activate relays from a keypad, enter 4-digit security code +  # 
 +70. 
Follow the keypad prompts described below. 
To activate relays using a telephone and 4286 VIP module, first dial the 2-
digit phone access code. When the system acknowledges the access, enter 4-digit 
security code +  # 
 + 70. The following prompts/voice responses will begin. 
ENTER DEVICE NO. 
00=QUIT 01 
Voice: ENTER DEVICE CODE NOW 
Enter the 2-digit number of the device to be 
activated. 
Note that if an invalid number is entered, the 
system will simply ask you to reenter the number. 
NN    DEVICE IS OFF 
HIT  0=OFF ,  1=ON 
Voice: voice descriptor DEVICE nn ON/OFF.  FOR 
voice descriptor ON ENTER 1, FOR voice descriptor 
OFF ENTER 0 
Press 0 or 1 to turn the device off or on respectively. 
nn represents the 2-digit device number and voice 
descriptor is the relay voice descriptor programmed 
by the installer. 
NN    DEVICE IS OFF 
HIT THE ✴ KEY 
Voice: voice descriptor DEVICE nn ON/OFF.  TO 
EXIT ENTER 00 NOW 
From a keypad, press ✴ to continue. The ENTER

Using Schedules 
Delaying the Closing Time 
Your systems programmed schedules may automatically arm the system at a 
predetermined time. In the event a user must stay on the premises later than 
usual, users with master or manager authority levels can manually delay the 
automatic arming (closing) time up to 2 hours. To delay the closing time: 
1.  Enter your security code (master or manager authority levels only). 
2. Press the  # 
 key, followed by 82. 
3.  A menu prompt will be displayed, asking for the number of hours of delay.  
 
CLOSING DELAY? 
KEY 0-2 HOURS 
Enter the desired number of hours of delay, 1 or 2. 
The system automatically exits this mode after 
entry.  
Note that the delay is from the scheduled closing time, not from the 
time the command is entered.  
IMPORTANT: The selected delay cannot be reduced once it is set. A 1 
hour delay can be increased to 2 hours, though. 
4.  The system will automatically send a message to the central station 
informing them that the programmed schedule has been changed. 
Temporary Open/Close Schedules 
Temporary schedules allow you to override the normal schedules 
programmed by the installer. Temporary schedules can be in effect for up to 
one week, and take effect as soon as they are programmed. 
They are comprised of an arming (closing) time window and a disarming 
(opening) time window. A time window is simply a defined period of time, at 
the end of which arming or disarming will occur. 
Before programming, use a worksheet similar to the one below to plan your 
schedule. This will make it easier when actually programming the schedule. 
Arm/Disarm Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun 
Windows        
Disarm Window        
 Start Time  HH:MM        
 Stop Time   HH:MM        
Arm Window        
 Start Time  HH:MM        
 Stop Time   HH:MM

Using Schedules (cont’d) 
Programming Temporary Schedules 
Temporary schedules only affect the partition from which it is entered. 
Temporary schedules can be reused at later dates simply by scrolling (by 
pressing #) to the DAYS? prompt (described below) and activating the 
appropriate days. This should be considered when defining daily time 
windows. Note that only users with authority level of manager or higher can 
program temporary schedules. 
To program temporary schedules: 
1.  Enter your security code. 
2. Press the  #
  key followed by 81. 
3. The following prompts will appear.

07:45AM  08:45AM 
The cursor will be positioned on the tens of hours 
digit of the start time for Mondays disarm 
window. Enter the desired hour. Press * to move 
to the minutes field. The minutes are entered in 
the same manner. The AM/PM indication is 
changed by hitting any key, 0-9, while the cursor 
is under the letter A/P position. Repeat for the 
stop time entry. Press the * key to move to the 
arming window for Monday. 
Press # to move to the next screen display 
without making changes. 
MON   ARM WINDOW  
07:45AM  08:45AM 
The cursor will be positioned on the tens of hours 
digit of the start time for the arm window. Repeat 
the previous steps to enter the start and stop 
time for Mondays arming window. 
TUE  DISARM WIND. 
07:45AM  08:45AM 
After the windows for that day have been 
completed, the system will prompt for disarm and 
arm time windows for the next day. Repeat the 
procedure for all days of the week. 
When all of the days have been completed, the 
system will ask which days are to be activated.

Using Schedules (cont’d) 
DAYS ?   MTWTFSS 
HIT 0-7  X   X 
This is the prompt that actually activates the 
temporary schedule, and allows the temporary 
schedule to be customized to a particular weeks 
needs. To select the days which are to be 
activated, enter the desired number 1-7 (Monday 
= 1). An X will appear under that day, 
indicating the previously entered schedule for 
that day is active. Entering a days number again 
will deactivate that day.  Pressing 0 will turn all 
days on/off. 
The temporary schedule will only be in effect for 
the days which have the letter x underneath 
them. As the week progresses, the days are reset 
to the inactive state. 
When completed, press * to exit the temporary 
schedule entry mode.
