3-131. STARPIN KEYPAD OPERATION (CON'T)
c. Initially, the keypad will be sequencing between the status of the zone and the zone details, including the system
zone number, the zone name, and the time and date. This is called the login screen. Based on the status of the zone,
the display shows either SECURE or ACCESS. The display sequences between this word and the zone data displayed
as follows:
0017
4D865
17.45
30 MAR 92
In this example, the system zone number is 17 and the zone name is 4D865. The data is displayed in European format
and the time in military format.
Step 1. Login.
To operate the keypad, Personal Identification Cipher (PIC) numbers must be assigned to the zone. To use the
keypad, enter the PIC number on the keypad. The date and time disappear and PIC followed by an (*) in place of
each digit of the PIC number appears.
Six digits must be entered for the PIC number. If more digits are entered, the readout returns to the login screen. If
less than six digits are entered, the keypad times out and returns to the login screen.
In general the keypad allows three attempts (configurable) at entering the correct PIC number. If the number is not
entered correctly, the screen returns to the login screen.
Step 2. Zone Access
In each secure zone, certain sensors are classed as entry sensors. When any of these sensors is initiated, the
keypad sounds an entry delay sequence that must be completed within a predetermined time to prevent alarms from
being sent to the central unit.
When someone enters a zone, the keypad starts an entry tone. During the allowed time, the user enters his or her
assigned PIC number followed by GO. The LCD readout displays the following line:
ACC EXT CMD DIS
F1 represents access. Press F1 (ACC) to stop the tone and display the following message:
SEC EXT CMD DIS
After a few seconds, the keypad starts sequencing between displaying ACCESS, indicating the zone is in access
state, and the zone details, including the system zone number, the zone name, and the time and date.
Step 3. Extended Access
Five minutes (configurable) before the scheduled end of the work day, the keypad sounds a tone for two seconds
each minute. The time must be extended during this five minute period. Failure to extend the time results in an
alarm signal to the master station.
