Your alarm system consists of a control panel, one or more keypads and various detectors and sensors. The control panel will normally be mounted out of sight in a utility room or basement etc. The control panel houses the system’s electronics and stand-by battery. There is normally no reason for anyone except an installer or service person to have access to the control panel.
The remote keypad is used to send commands to the system and to display the current system status via the various coloured lights (LED’s). The keypad also provides audible feedback each time a key is pressed. Each keypad will be mounted in convenient locations inside the protected premises, near designated points of entry/exit.
