Speed Key (Macros)

General Information

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 first bypassing certain zones before

arming.

• Seldom used but repeatable sequences.
• Relay activation sequences.
NOTE: If a speedkey function includes an arming sequence and the user
executing it has global arming, all partitions the user can global arm will
arm.

Defining

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.
