Using The System - GE JSC1300 Owner's Manual

Using the system

Arming the system
Press ARM HOME on the Console to arm ALL Door/Window Sensors instantly. Motion
Detectors will not trip the system when it is armed in the ARM HOME mode.
Press ARM AWAY to arm all Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors. This arms the
system after a set delay. The delay will be what you specified as the EXIT DELAY on page
27 (1 minute default). If you arm the system in the AWAY mode you will also have an
entry delay when you enter your home before the alarm trips (from Door/Window Sensors
set to MAX, and from Motion Detectors), to give you time to disarm it. This delay will be
what you specified for your ENTRY DELAY on page 27 (30 second default).
Pressing ARM on the Keyfob remote always arms in the AWAY mode, (instantly). ALL
Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors trip instantly when armed from the Keyfob.
Disarming the system
Pressing DISARM on the Keyfob remote disarms the system instantly. The zone that was
violated is shown in the display. To remove this press Arm and Disarm again.
To disarm from the Console: Enter your 4 digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) this
will be 0000 unless you changed it (see page 24).
ARMED HOME
12:00 am
Entering the PIN clears the top line and shows * for each number entered.
****
12:00 am
If the unit is armed it will disarm when the PIN is entered, and return to the time display,
with DISARMED in the top line.
DISARMED
12:00 am
Then after a short delay the display reverts to HOME CONTROL mode.

Using the system
If there's a problem
If a door or window is open and you try to arm the system the display looks as below.
(Where ZONE 9 is the door or window that's open).
OPEN
ZONE 9
If a Door/Window Sensor or Motion Detector has not reported in within the last 4 hours,
and you try to arm the system, the display looks as below. (Where ZONE 12 is the Door/
Window Sensor or Motion Detector that hasn't reported in).
PROBLEM
ZONE 12
If a Door/Window Sensor or Motion Detector has been tampered with, e.g. the battery
cover is open, and you try to arm the system, the display looks as below. (Where ZONE 4
is the Door/Window Sensor or Motion Detector that has been tampered with).
TAMPER
ZONE 4
For an open or problem zone, pressing the Clear (Bypass) button bypasses the problem
zone and lets you arm the system. After pressing Bypass the next problem zone is
displayed, (if there is more than one).
You can't arm the system while there's a problem zone unless you fix the problem, or
bypass the zone. If you try to arm the system while there's a problem with one or more
zone you will hear a repetitive "trouble alarm" to alert you that you need to bypass or fix
the problem zone(s).
If you bypass a zone and then arm the system, that zone stays bypassed until you disarm
the system.
If a Door/Window Sensor, Motion Detector, or the Console has been tampered with, you
must fix the problem (close the battery cover) and then enter your PIN, before you can
arm the system. Note if the system is armed and a tamper occurs, the alarm trips.
