KEYSWITCH/PUSH-BUTTON ARMING/DISARMING (PS1)
In parallel to keypads, a keyswitch or push button can be used to arm/disarm the system. (The
Esprit
PS1 can be installed in bedrooms or any other desired location.) Keyswitch/push button operation is
enabled/disabled at address 206, key [3] "on". Keyswitch can activate "regular" or "stay" arming, based
on the definition assigned at address 206, key [2]. (key [2] "off" = "regular" arming, key [2] "on" = "stay"
arming) If "stay" arming is activated, the keyswitch/push button (PS1) cannot be used to disarm the sys-
tem if it is in entry delay or if an alarm has been generated. In this case, the system can only be disarmed
from a keypad. (When partitioning is activated, the keyswitch can be used to arm/disarm System "A"
regardless of System "B" status. Pressing key [11] will arm System "A".) Pressing two keys on the PS1
simultaneously for 2 seconds will generate a "panic (1)" alarm (see "Keypad (Panic) Alarms).
ZONE BYPASSING
MANUAL
Bypassed zones will not generate an alarm. Manual bypass arming is employed when a system user
chooses not to arm the entire protected area. Only zones that have been defined as "bypass enabled"
(addresses 236 and 238) can be selected by the user (address 204) during manual bypass arming. To
bypass zones, enter [BYP] + a valid access code. [BYP] key will illuminate. When a zone light is on, it indi-
cates that the zone has been bypassed. Pressing [CLEAR] erases all bypass entries and current bypass
zones and will exit the bypass mode. Zones to be bypassed should then be re-entered. If bypass infor-
mation is correct, press [ENTER] to end and save bypass functions being programmed. [BYP] key will
remain illuminated, indicating that some zones have been bypassed. To cancel the zone bypass "status"
just entered, press [BYP] + user code + [CLEAR]. Zone bypasses are automatically cancelled every time
the system is disarmed, except in "24 hour" zones. If a "24 hour" zone is bypassed and the system is
subsequently disarmed, the "24 hour" zone will remain bypassed.
Note: When partitioning is used, zones assigned to the other system cannot be bypassed if that system
is armed.
BYPASS RECALL
This feature permits system users to reinstate the latest zone bypass instructions saved in memory. By
pressing [BYP] while in bypass programming mode, previous bypass status is re-established. Even if a
user is in process of entering new bypass information on keypad, one touch of the [BYP] key overrides
new information and reinstates the preceding zone bypass instructions saved.
Reminder: The fire zone cannot be bypassed.
CHIME ZONES
Chime zones report a presence (movement or door opening) in the selected zones by emitting a distinc-
tive rapid intermittent beep. Each keypad is independently "chime" programmed and must be repro-
grammed in the event of total power loss. To enable a zone's chime feature, press the selected zone key
[1] to [6] until the rapid intermittent beep is heard. To enable the chime feature of the keypad zone con-
nected to the particular keypad, use key [8]. To disable a zone's chime feature, press on the appropriate
key until a steady beep is heard. Disable keypad souder (mute), (heading), press key [9].
KEYPAD (PANIC) ALARMS
The Esprit provides three “Panic” zones on the keypad. Keys must be pressed simultaneously for 2 sec-
onds in order to activate. (Pressing 2 keys on the PS1 for 2 seconds generates a "panic 1" alarm.)
