Turning The System Off

When the system is on, you must enter through a
designated entry door to prevent an alarm. Opening the
door (e.g. front door) will start the entry timer. During
entry time, the keypad will emit a pulsing "beep" to remind
you to turn the area off.
If you enter through the wrong door or fail to turn the
area off before the entry delay time expires, the system
may sound an alarm. If an alarm occurs, silence the alarm
(by entering your PIN followed by the [OFF] key) and call
your security company to let them know that it is not an
emergency situation.
1. Enter your PIN + [OFF] to turn the system (or area) off.
The keypad will display the 'Off' icon.

Silencing Alarms

When the system has registered an alarm, the keypad (s)
and sirens will sound to alert personnel that an alarm has
occurred. The zone or zones which triggered the alarm will
be flashing on the keypad display for visual feedback. If you
silence and turn off an area before the siren time expires, a
'cancel' report may be sent to your security company.
1. Enter your PIN + [OFF] to silence any alarm and turn
the area off.
The keypad will continue to flash the zone indicator of
the zone which caused the alarm. This is called alarm
memory.
2. To clear alarm memory, turn the area on and off
again. (eg. PIN + [ON] + PIN + [OFF].

Automatic Arming

One or more areas can be programmed by your installer
to automatically turn All On or Part On for one or multiple
days of the week.
If for some reason you are still in the building when the
auto arming is taking place, it is possible to extend or delay
the auto-on time (automatic arming time) by one hour if
required. During the auto-on pre-alert time, the keypad
buzzer sounds and displays the word AUTO on the screen.
To delay, enter your PIN + [OFF] key. The system will
prompt with the word Delay? Press [OK] to confirm that
you want to delay the arming sequence.
Example:
If the control panel is programmed by your installer to
automatically turn All On at 6:00pm and the auto-on pre-
alert time starts beeping the keypad at 5:55pm, enter your
PIN+[OK] and then when prompted press [OK] to delay.
The auto-on pre-alert time will commence again 1 hour
later at 6:55pm. If no further delays are requested system
will automatically turn All On at 7:00pm.
