Arming
• Security code + [3] (STAY)
• Causes: three beeps, armed STAY displayed, ARMED indicator lights
• Arms perimeter sensors, but interior sensors are left disarmed.
• Use when you want to arm the system with persons staying inside (or if you have pets
that are moving throughout the premises).
• Alarm sounds if any protected window or non-entry/exit door is opened.
• Persons entering later can enter through an entry/exit door, but they must disarm the
system within the entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.
• Security code + [3] + [3]
• Causes: three beeps, NIGHT-STAY displayed, ARMED indicator lights
• Same as Stay mode, plus pre-selected interior sensors, while other interior sensors
are left disarmed.
• Use Night-Stay (internal) mode to provide increased security while staying inside.
• Persons entering later can use an entry/exit door but they must disarm the system
and must not violate any of the programmed interior zones to avoid sounding an
alarm.
• IMPORTANT: When Night-Stay mode is on, the selected interior zones are armed
and cause an alarm if anyone enters those areas (e.g., waking in the middle of the
night). To avoid sounding an alarm, you must disarm the system before any activity
takes place in those zones.
• Security code + [7] (INSTANT)
• Causes: three beeps, armed INSTANT displayed, ARMED indicator lights
• Arms same as Stay mode but with entry delay off.
• Use when staying inside and do not expect anyone to use an entry/exit door.
• An alarm sounds immediately if any protected perimeter window or any door is
opened, including entry/exit doors.
• IMPORTANT: Arming in this mode greatly increases the chance of false alarms. Use
extreme care in selecting this mode of arming.
• Security code + [2] (AWAY)
• Causes: beeping during exit delay, armed AWAY displayed, ARMED indicator lights
• Arms entire system (interior and perimeter).
• Use when nobody will be staying inside (including pets).
• An alarm sounds if a protected window or any door is opened, or if any movement is
detected inside your premises.
• When reentering through an entry/exit door, you must disarm the system within the
entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.
• Security code + [4] (MAXIMUM)
• Causes: same as Away mode; arms same as Away mode, but entry delay is off.
• Use when arming/disarming is being done from the outside (e.g. RF keyfob)
• Press designated key A, B, C, or D, if programmed, once, twice or three times
depending on the arming mode desired. Each key press increases the level of security.
• First press: arm STAY; second press: arm Night-STAY; third press: arm AWAY
• Press [#] + arming command key, if programmed.
• This feature lets you press [#] in place of the security code when arming the system.
• The security code must always be used to disarm the system.
• Press and hold the assigned function key for 2 seconds, if programmed.
• You do not need to enter your security code before pressing the arming key.
• Arms in designated arming mode. See your installer for the designated functions.
