3. Arming and Disarming

3. Arming and Disarming
Arming can be defined as activating the system. When the system is armed, it monitors
the zones that are protected by the sensors. If a sensor detects an intrusion, the system
generates an alarm.
3.1.

System Type - Partitioned /Unpartitioned

Your system may be defined in programming as partitioned or unpartitioned.
Partitioning option allows you to divide your home into two sections (partitions) each of
them being armed and disarmed independently of one another and of full arming.
Partitioning must be enabled in programming by your installer.
3.2.

Arming Modes: Unpartitioned Systems

Three arming modes are available: Full, Part and Perimeter. These modes enable you to
arm your system accordingly to suit different circumstances.
In unpartitioned systems, you can only disarm all the active arming modes.
Full Arming
Full arming activates the
entire system. This
arming method is used
when you intend to leave
your home, leaving the
premises empty.
Certain sensors, such as smoke sensors, are always active regardless of system
status.
3.3.

Arming Modes: Partitioned systems

If partitioning is enabled in programming, three arming modes are available: Full,
Partition 1, and Partition 2.
Partitions are entirely customizable; each partition can be armed and disarmed
independently.
