ademco vista-128fb User Manual

The “A”, “B”, “C”, and/or “D” keys can be used to activate a string of
commands up to 32 keystrokes each.  These commands are known as a macro
and are stored in the system’s memory.  Typical Speed Key functions include:

•

 

Arming sequences that involve bypassing certain zones before arming.

•

 

Seldom used but repeatable sequences.

•

 

Relay activation sequences.

To program a macro, enter your user code + [#] + [D]. The following appears:

ENTER SPEED KEY #
01-32            00=QUIT

Enter the 2-digit Speed Key number (01-32) being defined and press [*].
Enter up to 32 keystrokes.  A Speed Key sequence can include different
commands.  Press the "D" key to separate different commands.  For example,
you may want to perform the following sequence.

GOTO partition 2...................... Enter *2
Bypass zones 10 & 11 ............... Press bypass [6], then the zone numbers 010

& 011

Arm in maximum mode............ Press maximum [4] key
Return to partition 1 ................ Enter *1

To program that Speed Key sequence, type the following:

*2 [D] 6010011 [D] 4 [D] *1 [D] [D]

Note that the "D" key is pressed after each command. Press "D" twice to
complete the entry and exit.

NOTE: When defining Speed Key sequences, do not use the [#] key to
represent Quick Arming.  The system uses the code entered in response to
the prompt to initiate commands in a Speed Key sequence, so the quick arm
key is unnecessary.  The system interprets the use of the [#] key in a Speed
Key sequence as its designated function only.
