with just one press. Check with your installer for more information.

You have the option to view the event history for each partition of your system. These events
include arming, disarming, tampers, programming entries, just to name a few.

Overview

• The System Master Code can view all events from any partition. The partition masters can
only view global system events and events related to their respective partition. Regular user
codes cannot view event history.
• All partitions can view event history simultaneously, but only one touchpad at a time can
view the history in each partition. While the event history is being viewed, all other control-
ling sources are disabled (except for panic alarm buttons) and non-viewing touchpads display
"VIEWING EVENT BUFFER".
To view event history:
1. The current partition must be armed to level 1 or 2.
2. At an alphanumeric touchpad, press 8 + System or Partition Master CODE + 8.
• The touchpad displays "VIEWING EVENT BUFFER" followed by the event description,
date/time or details (user, source, zone, etc).
• The most recent event appears first.
• Scroll through the events by pressing the A (back) and B (forward) keys.
• The C key is used to toggle the second line display between Date/Time and Details.
• Press the * key to exit Viewing Event History.
