If you notice a gain or loss in control panel time, calculate the average gain or loss per day and program the opposite amount in
order to automatically correct the time setting every 24 hours.
Example: If a control panel loses 4 minutes per month, this represents an average loss of 8 seconds per day. Therefore,
programming 008 (plus 8 seconds) into section [088] would compensate for the 8-second loss.
11.8 Keypad Tamper Supervision
Section [128]: General Options
Option [7] OFF = Keypad 1 Tamper Supervision Disabled (default)
Option [7] ON = Keypad 1 Tamper Supervision Enabled
Option [8] OFF = Keypad 2 Tamper Supervision Disabled (default)
Option [8] ON = Keypad 2 Tamper Supervision Enabled
The control panel can be programmed to monitor the on-board tamper status of one or two keypads in the system. If Keypad 1
Tamper Supervision is enabled, the control panel will verify the tamper status of a keypad with its keypad zone set as Keypad
Zone 1. If Keypad 2 Tamper Supervision is enabled, the control panel will verify the tamper status of the keypad with its keypad
zone set as Keypad Zone 2. Ensure that the keypad’s on-board anti-tamper switch is enabled. For LED keypads, see Configuring
The LED Keypad on page 8. For LCD keypads, see the appropriate Installation Guide.
Regardless of whether the keypad zones are being used or not, if more than one keypad is set with the same
keypad zone number, Keypad Tamper Supervision will be lost for that keypad zone. For example, if two keypads
in your system have their keypad zones defined as Keypad Zone 1, the control panel will not recognize a Keypad
1 Tamper Supervision Failure.
If a keypad tamper occurs, the control panel can transmit the appropriate Zone Tamper report code (see page 29) as originating
from the zones specified by the Table 10. If the zone (as specified by Table 10) is enabled, the control panel will report the tamper
as originating from the partition where the zone is assigned. If the zone is not enabled, the control panel will send the Zone
Tamper report code as originating from partition 1. A Tamper/Zone Wiring Failure will also appear in the keypad’s trouble display
(see page 42).
When Reassign Keypad Zone 2 is enabled (see page 12), the Keypad Tamper Supervision for Keypad Zone 2 is
lost. Therefore, Keypad Tamper Supervision will
ONLY function on Keypad Zone 1.
11.9 Keypad Audible Trouble Warning
Section [127]: General Options
Option [3] OFF = Keypad Beep on Trouble Disabled
Option [3] ON = Keypad Beep on Trouble Enabled (default)
When enabled, the keypads emit an intermittent beep tone whenever a trouble condition occurs in the system. The intermittent
beep tone remains activated until the user enters the trouble display by pressing the [
TBL] or [TRBL] key. The intermittent beeps
will re-initialize whenever a new trouble occurs or the trouble restores and re-occurs.
11.10 Confidential Mode
Section [126] Options [1], [2] and [3]
Option [1] OFF = Confidential Mode Disabled (default)
Option [1] ON = Confidential Mode Enabled
Option [2] OFF = Keypads activate when an access code is entered
Option [2] ON = Keypads activate when a key is pressed (default)
Option [3] OFF = Confidential Mode Timer is 2 minutes
Option [3] ON = Confidential Mode Timer is 5 seconds (default)
If Confidential Mode is enabled and no actions are performed on the keypads for the time defined by the Confidential Mode
Timer, all the keypad’s LEDs will be off and LCD screens will show “Paradox Family” until either a key is pressed or an access
code is entered. When the system exits Confidential Mode, the keypads will display the system’s status. Confidential Mode is
activated by enabling option [1]. Option [2] regulates whether the keypads will be activated at the touch of a key or only when an
access code is entered. Option [3] determines the amount of time without action before the system enters Confidential Mode (5
seconds or 2 minutes).
