There are different types of  Comfort keypads available.

For example.
KP06 with different Frames can be mounted horizontal or vertical






KP04 Vertical



KP05 Horizontal



KT03 Touchscreen Keypad


They have the same basic operation, although the KP06 and KT03  have more advanced settings

The Comfort Quick Start Guide and User Manual can be downloaded from http://www.cytech.biz/user_guides.html


The illustration below shows the features of KP04, but can be applied to the other keypads




The meaning of the 5 leds at the bottom are shown below
