If the Fire Keys option is enabled, when the Fire keys are pressed and held for 2
seconds, the system will activate the alarm output. It pulses one second on, one
second off only if option 8 of Section [013] is disabled (Standard Fire option). If Fire
Bell Continuous is selected the alarm output will sound until a code is entered;
otherwise it will sound until a code is entered or the alarm output times out. Com-
munication of the signal to central station is immediate.
If the Auxiliary Keys are pressed and held for 2 seconds, the unit beeps three times
to verify activation. The system will beep the keypad ten times rapidly to verify
communication to the central station.
If the Panic Keys are pressed and held for 2 seconds, the system will immediately
communicate the signal to central station. If Panic Keys Audible is enabled, the
system will beep the keypad three times upon activation and activate the alarm
output until a code is entered or the alarm output times out. Otherwise the alarm
will be completely silent.
NOTE:
The Fire, Auxiliary, Panic keys will operate even if Keypad Lockout
is active (see 2.2.13 Keypad Options on page 34).

2.2.13 Keypad
Options
The system can be programmed to ‘lockout’ keypads if a series of incorrect access
code entries are made. After the Number of Invalid Codes Before Lockout has
been reached the system will lock out the keypad for the Lockout Duration and
log the event to the event buffer. For the duration of the lockout the system will
sound an error tone when any key is pressed. The invalid code counter will be reset
every hour.
To disable Keypad Lockout program the Number of Invalid Codes Before Lock-
out as (000).
NOTE:
If Keypad Lockout is active, the system cannot be armed or dis-
armed with a keyswitch.
If the Keypad Blanking Option is enabled the system will turn off all lights on the
NT9010 if no key is pressed for 30 seconds. The keys, however, will remain backlit.
The system will turn the NT9010 lights back on if entry delay begins or an audible
alarm occurs. If the Code Required to Restore Blanking Option is enabled, the
lights will turn on when a valid access code is entered. Otherwise, the lights will
turn on when a key is pressed.
NOTE:
Keypad function keys will still operate when the keypad is blank,
unless the function key is programmed to require an access code.
The keys of all the keypads can be backlit to provide easy viewing in dim lighting
conditions. If the Keypad Backlighting Option is enabled the keys will be illumi-
nated.
If the Bypass Status Displayed While Armed option is chosen, the System light
will be ON while the system is armed to indicate that there are bypassed zones.
