SENSOR STATUS

The security system constantly monitors all of the sensors attached to the protected doors

and windows in your home or business. The Control Panel knows if each door or window with

sensors is open or closed. The open or closed condition of the protected doors and windows is

called the sensor status.

For maximum security, all the doors and windows on your premises should be closed when

you leave the building. In some cases, such as when using the security system when you stay

at home, you may want to leave some doors or windows open. The system recognizes

bypasses to resolve the open doors or windows. See "Bypassing/Un‐Bypassing Sensors" on

page 12.

NOTE: Before you can arm the system, you must close or bypass all doors and windows

with sensors.

In most cases, you will be arming the security system with all of the sensor‐protected doors

and windows closed. The Control Panel provides easy ways to verify that all the sensor‐

protected doors and windows are closed before arming the system:

•

The

Home button lights green when all perimeter sensors are closed. The

button is not lit if any perimeter sensor is open. Open interior sensors do not change this

indication.

•

The Security button on the display's Home screen lights green when all perimeter sensors

are closed. The Security button lights orange if any perimeter sensor is open. Open

interior sensors do not change this indication.

•

The Arm button on the display's Security screen and Menu screen lights green when all

perimeter sensors are closed. If any interior sensors are open (or when any motion

detector is triggered), a house icon displays on the status bar. The Arm button lights

orange if any perimeter sensor is open.
