Keypads
Your security system helps safeguard both your property and investments against theft, fire and bodily harm. Its control panel is an advanced digital device with a backlit keypad which uses lights and sounds to notify you of system events; function keys on this keypad can also be used to perform various functions; all keystrokes are validated with an audible tone check; additionally it features an LED display indicating your alarm points status.
Your control panel provides an overview of your alarm points by way of lights numbered 1 through 8, each representing either doors, windows, motion sensors or smoke detectors. Each point can either respond instantly or with a delay to give you time to reach the keypad and turn off the system when alarm conditions occur.
The keypad includes five function keys: ARM, CLEAR, RESTART, RESET and VIEW POINTS. ARM allows you to enter your personal passcode to arm the system; additionally it sets entry and exit delay times which trigger alarm events if left unsecured for too long after exit delay times have expired. Furthermore, View POINTS displays faulted points so you may secure them accordingly.
Some systems allow a duress code to bypass the normal arming sequence and force arming of the system immediately. Your control panel’s manual will provide details on how to use this special duress code.
Some systems, like Radionics 8112 and other D2000-series panels with D223, D222A or C2223 keypads have an innovative COMMAND bar instead of keys, which allows users to perform many of the same functions as those found on keypads with function keys. Entering Command 4 will silencing keypads while acknowledging any trouble conditions and clearing off SERVC displays on command centers.
Control Panels
Older Radionics systems utilized standard “Commands” to arm and disarm, program functions, and conduct fire and police responses (if applicable). However, these commands differ slightly from those on newer models: 7 and 9 allow bypass of individual points, which is an easy way to test those which may have become defective; while Command 8 sounds an alarm across all keypads and sirens simultaneously as well as sending a fire alarm message directly to central station if your home alarm monitoring requires it.
Monitors
Your radionics system can be programmed with both standard and custom displays to provide information about the status of your security system. To activate them, press the COMMAND bar; each display features its name in this bar as well as a short explanation below it.
