AWAY MODE

Away mode is for arming the system when
everyone is leaving the premises. Away
mode arms all sensor‐protected perimeter
doors and windows, interior motion sensors,
interior glass break sensors, and any other
sensor‐protected interior doors. The
premises must be unoccupied while the
system is armed. Away mode is typically
used for arming the system during the
daytime hours in a residential location, and
non‐business hours in a commercial location.
When the system is armed in Away mode,
you cannot move about the premises
without triggering the burglary alarm (if the
system is installed with interior motion
detectors). An alarm also occurs if any
sensor‐protected door or window is opened
or glass breakage is detected (if glass
breakage detectors are installed in your
system).
Exit and Entry Delays in Away
mode
Certain sensors, such as a door, can be setup
by your installer to have a delay before
triggering an alarm. This provides a way for
an authorized person to exit and re‐enter the
premises without triggering an alarm.
• Exit Delay allows time to leave after
arming the system.
• Entry Delay allows time to enter and
disarm the system before an alarm is
triggered.
When arming the system in
Away mode, an Entry Delay
check box is shown on the
Arming screen. By default,
this option is checked, so the
programmed delay doors allow time for
disarming the system after the door is
opened. If you clear the Entry Delay box, the
delayed alarm trigger is removed from all
sensor‐protected doors programmed for
delay. Those entrances instantly trigger an
alarm if they are opened in Away mode.
NOTE: With the Entry Delay disabled,
you must remotely disarm the
system with a wireless key fob
before entering.

Exit Delay Restart

The Exit Delay Restart option extends the
Exit Delay one time if you need to re‐enter
the premises. With the Exit Delay Restart
option, when you re‐enter the premises
after you have left, but before the Exit Delay
timer expires, the Exit Delay timer restarts,
giving you the full length of time to leave
again.
TIP: The Exit Delay Restart option only works
once, each time the system is armed.

Silent Control in Away Mode

Three options for silencing the beeps and
announcements are available when arming
or disarming the system in Away mode.
• On the Control Panel's Home and
Security screens, a Silent Control button
is displayed.
• On the Arming screen, a Silent Exit
check box is displayed.
• On the Exit Delay screen, a Silence
button is displayed.
Selecting any of these options silences the
Control Panel beeps and announcements,
and when arming; selecting Silent Control
doubles the length of the Exit Delay.
