ABOUT THE CONSOLES
Console Types There are two basic types of consoles – a FIXED-M/0f3D console and an
ALPHA console. Either (or both) of these console types may have been used in
your particular system. Both types feature a multifunction, backlit 12-key digital
keypad, and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). A built-in sounder emits alarm
sounds during alarm conditions, and produces warning tones during entry and
exit delay periods, This sounder also provides acknowledgment tones when
keys are pressed, and confirmation tones for successful command entries.
Console Styles Fixed-Word and Alpha consoles are available in two styles, A and B, either of
which may have been used in your system. Although different in appearance,
both styles are functionally similar. The keypads on Style “B” consoles are
located behind a flip-down door which can be removed, if desired. Message
displays on all Alpha consoles are identical; words displayed on all Fixed-Word
consoles are the same, except that their location in the display window will
differ slightly with each style. All available consoles are shown on the right.
The Style “B”Alpha console, with an appropriate message display, is depicted
in the instructions throughout this manual; in each case, however, it is always
accompanied by the equivalent message display on a Fixed-word console.
Unless noted otherwise,all procedures in this manual apply equally to all
conso/e types and styles.
The Alpha Alpha consoles feature a 2-line, 32-character fully programmable alphanumeric
Console
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which can display the nature and location of all
(All Styles)
occurrences in friendly English. Abbreviated User’s instructions can also be
displayed on an Alpha console’s display screen (see
SELF-HELP FEATURE
on page 33). This feature is useful if this Manual is not accessible when you
need to perform a procedure with which you are not familiar.
