About the Safe Mode
The TouchCenter contains a Safe Mode of operation. In the rare event
that the TouchCenter cannot successfully communicate in its graphic
mode with the control panel, the Safe Mode is a backup mode that
ensures that you can communicate with your system. In this mode,
the TouchCenter operates much like a standard non-graphic keypad
so that you can control your system until the problem is corrected.
• DO NOT perform panel programming while in the Safe Mode.
Performing panel programming while in the Safe Mode may cause
the panel and TouchCenter to become out of sync.
• DO NOT use several hardwired motion detectors in high traffic
locations. The high quantity of signals received by the panel may
cause the TouchCenter to enter the Safe Mode.
Entering the Safe Mode
The Safe Mode may be automatically entered by the TouchCenter
program on a communication failure or may be entered manually on
command. The following paragraphs describe these entry processes.
Automatic Entry
In the rare event that the TouchCenter cannot successfully
communicate in its graphic mode with the control panel, the
TouchCenter presents you with a message of "Problems detected.
Start Keypad in Safe Mode?" and requests a "Yes" or "No" response. If
you answer with "Yes", the TouchCenter will go into the Safe Mode. If
you answer with "No", the TouchCenter will try communicating with
the panel again. After 3 consecutive times of receiving no response,
the TouchCenter will enter the Safe Mode.
