Testing the Auto Arming Window
To test the Auto Arming Schedule set the system clock 2 minute before the panel is suppose to auto arm and let it
roll into the window. Our panel is going to arm at 6PM so we will set our clock to 5:58PM. You can not program
the time for 6PM or greater and expect it to arm. As stated above the panel must roll into the time window.
What will prevent Auto Arming of the panel?
Panel Status
RF Supervision Error
Transmitter Tamper
Expander Supervision
Expander Tamper
Fire Alarm
Fire Alarm Memory
Fire Trouble
Burglar Alarm

What to look for if an Auto Arm fails
The table above explains when the panel prevents an auto arm; the only situations the panel will not arm is because
of any Alarm or Alarm memory. If you were trying to arm the panel from the keypad (not auto arming) it would
require you to disarm the system 2 times. Auto Arming is no different. The 1

The Work Around
We must create 2 time windows to disarm before the actual auto arming of the panel. If we need the panel to auto
arm at 6PM, then we will create 2 more schedules. 1
again at 5:59PM, so to sum it up we would need 3 schedules:
2. Auto Disarm (Event #06) at 5:58 PM Sat-Sun, Weekly
3. Auto Disarm (Event #06) at 5:59 PM Sat-Sun, Weekly
4. Auto Arm (Event #05) at 6:00 PM Sat-Sun, Weekly
