8.0  Codepad Duress Alarm 
A codepad duress alarm is used as a silent hold-up 
alarm. This only occurs when the number “9” is 
added to the end of any valid user code being used 
to disarm the system (for example, [2 5 8 0 9 #]). A 
duress alarm is only useful if your system is reporting 
back to a monitoring station or pocket pager, 
because domestic reporting (such as a mobile phone) 
cannot decipher which type of alarm occurred.

9.0  Codepad Panic Alarm 
An audible alarm activates when both the [1] and [3] 
buttons and both the [*] and [#] buttons are pressed 
simultaneously. Contact your installer to disable the 
ability to activate the codepad panic alarm or to 
silence the codepad panic alarm. 
 
Software versions 1.10 through 1.36 
sound a panic alarm when you press both 
the [4] and [6] buttons or the [7] and [9] 
buttons simultaneously. 
10.0  Codepad Fire Alarm 
(Version 1.37 + only) A distinct fire sound is emitted 
by the horn speaker when both the [4] and [6] 
buttons on the codepad are pressed simultaneously. 
Contact your installer if you want to disable the 
ability to activate the codepad fire alarm or if you 
want to silence the codepad fire alarm. 
11.0  Codepad Medical Alarm 
(Version 1.37 + only) An audible alarm activates 
when both the [7] and [9] buttons are pressed 
simultaneously. Contact your installer to disable the 
ability to activate the codepad medical alarm or to 
silence the codepad medical alarm. 
12.0  Codepad Tamper Alarm 
(Access Denied) 
Codepad tamper restricts the number of times an 
invalid user code can try to operate the system. 
When the number of incorrect code attempts equals 
the number programmed by your installer, the 
system activates an alarm condition. If reporting back 
to a security monitoring station, the system sends an 
Access Denied Report. 
To shut down and lock out a codepad for a period of 
time (0 sec. to 150 sec.), ask your installer to program 
this feature. 
13.0 Isolating Zones 
Isolating zones allow you to manually disable one or 
more zones before arming the system. Once a zone is 
isolated, access is allowed into that zone during the 
armed state without activating an alarm. 
For example, you need to isolate a zone before 
arming the system such as when a PIR detector 
causes a false alarm or you must leave a pet inside a 
particular zone while away. 
Isolating zones is performed by one of two methods. 
Method two is optional and only allows those user 
codes programmed by your installer to isolate zones.
