The Command Center is a “smart”

user-friendly, interactive menu-driven

keypad designed for your Napco control

panel. Its alphanumeric screen will not

only display the status of your system,

but will also give you step-by-step

instructions to guide you through all

operations.

This booklet contains important

information about the operation of your

system with this Command Center

Keypad. Read it carefully and keep it

handy for future reference. Check the

Glossary for an explanation of terms that

may be unfamiliar to you.

You'll probably find subjects

mentioned in this booklet that do not

apply to your system. Napco control

panels have such a wide variety of

features that few security systems, if

any, will ever need them all. Your alarm

professional has chosen appropriate

features for your particular needs.

Regardless of how your system has

been configured, rest assured that it has

been carefully designed and engineered

to the highest industry standards. To

assure optimum safety and security,

familiarize yourself with this equipment.

Periodically check its condition and state

of readiness by testing it at least once a

week in both the ac/battery and battery-

only modes (ask your alarm professional

how to make these tests).
