4.1 Arming the System with the Keypad

The HS Series provides multiple arming modes as described below:
Away mode Use when all members of your household will not be home. Away mode activates all
perimeter and interior sensors in the alarm system.
Stay mode Use this mode when you are staying home, but expect someone to use the entrance door
later. Stay mode partially activates your alarm system by arming all perimeter sensors and
bypassing all interior sensors.
Night mode Use when you want the perimeter and interior armed but would like to allow limited
movement in your house without activating the alarm. e.g., disable motion sensors in an
area containing bedrooms and a washroom. Night mode is similar to Stay mode but only
bypasses internal sensors configured as Night Zones.
NOTES:
Verify with your alarm company which modes are available on your system.
For SIA FAR listed panels, the Stay Arming Exit Delay will be twice as long as the Away
Arming Exit Delay.
