2.7 Hidden Display Mode
The Matrix alarm panel incorporates a hidden display (confidential mode) feature that can be enabled /
disabled by your installation engineer. This feature hides all of the panel information from the keypad display
if the keypad has not been used for the last 20 seconds. In hidden display mode only the supply symbol will
be visible. The keypad will remain in hidden display mode until a valid user code has been entered on the
keypad.
Depending in which state the alarm panel is currently in, the first valid user code entry whilst in hidden display
mode will have the following effects on the panel.
2.7.1 When Disarmed
If there are no system faults then the panel will come out of hidden display mode and automatically start the
arming process. If there are any system faults pending then the keypad will drop out of hidden display mode
and allow the system fault to display. The panel will not start the arming process until you re-enter your user
code again.
2.7.2 When Armed
The panel will leave hidden display mode and start the disarm process.
2.7.3 When in Alarm
The panel will leave hidden display mode and drop into First To Alarm (FTA) mode.
2.7.4 When in First To Alarm (FTA) mode
If the keypad is allowed to drop back into hidden display mode whilst in FTA mode, then simply enter your
user code again to re-display the FTA information.
NOTE: When in User Menu mode the keypad will drop into hidden display mode if no keys are
pressed for 20 seconds. As long as a key is pressed at least once every 20 seconds then user
mode will remain active. Care must be taken not to keep pressing invalid keystrokes as the alarm
panel may interpret this as a key tamper attempt and force the panel into a tamper alarm.
2.8 Latching Alarms – Denmark, Norway, Finland & Sweden only
After each and every alarm event the panel will display a latched alarm indicator, until you reset the latched
alarm yourself, by either viewing the event log or by re-arming the panel. Latched alarms are only displayed in
disarmed mode, and are indicated by a fast flashing bell symbol on the keypad.
To clear the latched alarm indicator, you can either view the event log using the View Event Log user function,
or alternatively by fully re-arming the panel again. If hidden display mode is enabled the keypad will not hide
until the latched alarm is cleared.
2.9 System Faults – Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden
2.9.1 Latching System Faults
All system faults are latched. This means that once a system fault has been triggered, the display will continue
to display the fault even if the fault is eventually removed from the system. To clear the latched fault, first
remove the fault then view the event log.
Once you have entered and then left the View Event Log function, and if the system fault is no longer active,
the system fault message will be removed from the display.
2.9.2 Latching Battery Faults
Battery faults may be latched if enabled by your installation engineer. This means that once a battery fault has
occurred, the display will continue to display the fault even if the cause of the fault has been removed from
the system. In this case you will need to contact your installation engineer to clear the battery fault from the
display.
If your installation engineer has allowed you to reset battery faults, then the Latching System Faults
procedure above will allow you to clear the fault.
