Alternate Arming Methods

Away Arming
Arming the system in the Away mode will have all interior zones and perimeter zones active. If motion
is detected in the interior zones, or if one of the perimeter zones is violated, the alarm sequence will
begin. To arm in the Away mode, enter your access code, or press the "Away" button on the keypad
and exit the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door. The system will recognize that occupants
have left the premises. Once the exit delay expires, the system will be fully armed.
Audible Exit Fault
In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault will to notify you of an improper exit when
arming the system in the Away mode. If you do not exit the premises during the exit delay period, or if
you do not securely close the Exit/Entry door, the system will notify you that it was improperly armed. It
will do this in two ways: the keypad will emit one continuous beep, and the bell or siren will sound. If
this occurs, you must re-enter the premises, enter your access code to disarm the system, and then
follow the arming procedure again, making sure to exit the premises properly. Your installer will inform
you if the Audible Exit Fault feature has been enabled on your system.
Stay Arming
This feature, if enabled by your installer, will allow you to arm the perimeter zones while leaving the
interior zones inactive so that you can remain on the premises while the system is armed. When you
enter your security code to arm the system, or press the "Stay" button on the keypad, and do not exit
the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door, the system will arm in the Stay mode, automatically
bypassing the interior zones.
The interior zones can be reactivated at any time by entering [ ][1] at any keypad. If you reactivate
the interior zones, do not go into areas covered by motion detectors. To access areas protected by
motion sensors, you must enter your security code and disarm the system.
Arming Without Entry Delay
If you wish to arm your system without the entry delay, enter [ ][9] then your access code. The Armed
light will flash as a reminder that the system is armed and has no entry delay. An entry through any
zone programmed as a delay zone will create an instant alarm.
Quick Arm
When the Quick Arm feature is enabled, you may arm the system by simply pressing [ ][0] instead of
your access code. Please note that pressing [ ][0] will only allow you to arm the system; to disarm,
you must enter a valid access code. Your installer will inform you if the Quick Arm feature has been
enabled on your system.
Auto Arming
Your system can be set to automatically arm itself according to a programmed schedule. To program
the auto arm time, enter [ ][6] followed by your master code. Press [3]. Enter the time using the 24Hr
format (00:00 - 23:59).
To enable or disable the auto arm feature, enter [ ][6] followed by your master code. Press [2] to
either enable or disable the feature. The keypad will beep 3 times if the feature is ON and once if it is
OFF.
NOTE: The correct system time and date must be programmed in order for the auto arm feature
to function properly. Please see "Setting the System Date and Time" on page 12 for instructions.
