Master Keypad Operation 
A Master keypad is one that reflects the status of the entire system 
(Partitions 1-8) on its display.  This is useful because it eliminates the need 
for a security officer in a building to have to log-on to various partitions 
from one partition’s keypad to find out where an alarm has occurred. 
A description of a typical display follows: 
SYSTEM  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 
STATUS  R R N N A  T ✴ B 
The status of each partition is directly...

zones must be closed or bypassed (see BYPASSING section).  Otherwise the

display all zones that are faulted, making it easier for you to secure any open 
zones.

Using the ✳  READY Key 
The Alpha Keypads can also display all the zone descriptors that are 
programmed in your system. The abbreviated instructions for the READY 
key will appear first, followed by the zone descriptors. Displaying all 
descriptors is useful when you need to know the zone number of a particular 
zone, as when bypassing zones. 
The Disarmed-Ready to arm message must be displayed before zone 
descriptors can be displayed.

removed when an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) is performed. 
Bypasses are also removed if the arming procedure that follows the bypass 
command is not successful. 
Note: The system will not allow fire or emergency...

the entrance door later.

an alarm, but they must disarm the system within the entry delay period or 
an alarm will occur....
