¡	The picture above reflects the default key fob button configuration. All buttons are configurable according to individual needs via Eldes Utility software.

In order to start using KeyBoB, it has to be paired with ELDES alarm system using ELDES Utility software (see chapter PAIRING WITH THE ALARM SYSTEM).

KeyBoB features 4 configurable buttons, intended to operate according to individual needs. User may choose up to 8 actions for a single key fob: 4 short press actions (i.e. to assign 1 “click and release” type of action to each button) and 4 long press actions (i.e. to assign 1 “click and hold” type of action to each button). User can set any action to any button (the only exception is Panic action – dedicated for long press only).

Below you’ll find the list of all possible actions and the description of each action:

Arm System (Instant) – After the button is pressed, this function instantly arms the system. KeyBoB’s internal buzzer will emit 5 short beep sounds, LED indicator (red) will light up, confirming a transferred command to ELDES alarm system via wireless connection. Otherwise, key fob’s internal buzzer will emit 1 long beep sound and LED indicator (red) will light up or flash quickly, informing user about unsuccessful attempt to transfer command (due to the system’s violation (action failed) or the wireless connection loss (out of range)).

Arm (Exit Delay) – After the button is pressed, this function arms the system after exit delay countdown is over (by default, exit 15 seconds). KeyBoB’s internal buzzer will emit 5 short beep sounds, LED indicator (red and green) will flash alternately, confirming a transferred command to ELDES alarm system via wireless connection. Otherwise, key fob’s  internal buzzer will emit 1 long beep sound and LED indicator (red) will light up or flash quickly, informing user about unsuccessful attempt to transfer command (due to the system’s violation (action failed) or the wireless connection loss (out of range)).

Arm (Stay mode) – After the button is pressed, this function arms the system in Stay mode. KeyBoB’s internal buzzer will emit 5 short beep sounds, LED indicator (red and green) will light up, confirming a transferred command to ELDES alarm system via wireless connection. Otherwise, key fob’s internal buzzer will emit 1 long beep sound and LED indicator (red) will light up or flash quickly, informing user about unsuccessful attempt to transfer command (due the system’s violation (action failed) or the wireless connection loss (out of range)).

Disarm – After the button is pressed, this function disarms the system. KeyBoB’s internal buzzer will emit 2 long beep sounds, LED indicator (green) will light up, confirming a transferred command to ELDES alarm system via wireless connection. Otherwise, key fob’s  internal buzzer will emit 1 long beep sound and LED indicator (red) will flash quickly, informing user about unsuccessful attempt to transfer command (due to the wireless connection loss (out of range)).

Turn output ON – After the button is pressed, this function turns ON the selected PGM output. KeyBoB’s internal buzzer will emit 1 quick beep sound, LED indicator (green) will quickly flash once, confirming a transferred command to ELDES alarm system via wireless connection (action success). Otherwise, key fob’s internal buzzer will emit 1 long beep sound and LED indicator (red) will light up or flash quickly, informing user about unsuccessful attempt to transfer command (due to the system’s violation (action failed) or the wireless connection loss (out of range)).

Turn output OFF – After the button is pressed, this function turns OFF the selected PGM output. KeyBoB’s internal buzzer will emit 1 quick beep sound, LED indicator (green) will quickly flash once, confirming a transferred command to ELDES alarm system via wireless connection (action success). Otherwise, key fob’s internal buzzer will emit 1 long beep sound and LED indicator (red) will light up or flash quickly, informing user about unsuccessful attempt to transfer command (due to the system’s violation (action failed) or the wireless connection loss (out of range)).

Toggle (Output) – After the button is pressed, this function changes the status of the selected PGM output (ON or OFF, depending on the previous status). KeyBoB’s internal buzzer will emit 1 quick beep sound, LED indicator (green) will quickly flash once, confirming a transferred command to ELDES alarm system via wireless connection (action success). Otherwise, key fob’s internal buzzer will emit 1 long beep sound and LED indicator (red) will light up or flash quickly, informing user about unsuccessful attempt to transfer command (due to the system’s violation (action failed) or the wireless connection loss (out of range)).

Panic – After the button is pressed, this function triggers virtual panic alarm (NOTE: this action is available only for Long Press setting). LED indicator (red) will light up and therefore confirm a transferred command to ELDES alarm system via wireless connection, while KeyBoB’s internal buzzer will remain silent (in case when Panic action is set, key fob’s buzzer is always disabled due to security reasons). Otherwise,key fob’s LED indicator (red) will flash quickly, informing user about unsuccessful attempt to transfer command (due to the wireless connection loss (out of range)).

Pulse ON output – PGM output state will be instantly changed (turned ON) for a determined time period and automatically turned OFF when the time period expires.

Pulse OFF Output – PGM output state will be instantly changed (turned OFF) for a determined time period and automatically turned ON when the time period expires.
