The Auto-Arm/Logic Gates will be enabled, click the
button.
Adding Arm/Disarm actions
1. Select 'Add Action'.
2. Select the Day of the week that requires to be
'Auto Armed'. This will then be displayed in the list.
3. Select the action of this timer (E.g. Arm)

action should start.
5. Another action can now be added (E.g. Disarm)
and select the time for this action.
Adding 'Holidays'
A holiday setting will override any auto timers that coincide with the holiday. Once the holiday has
passed, it will not repeat the year after or at any other time.
1. Click 'Add Holiday'
2. Select the dates that are required for the holiday period. These will be displayed at the top right of the
screen under 'Date.'
3. If any holidays are added by mistake, select that holiday and click 'delete'.
NOTE: Make sure that any action already programmed matches correctly when the holiday period has
finished.
E.g. If the dates January 1st, January 2nd, and January 3rd are selected, the panel will stay armed on all
dates regardless of the auto timers. However, an
auto timer should be set up to disarm the day after
the holiday has ended if required.

7.2 Areas to Arm/Disarm

This section of the software selects the area's that
will be Armed/Disarmed during the 'Auto
Arm/Disarm' period.
1. Select the areas to be armed and type them in
the 'Area's' field.
2. Select the 'Warning Period'. This is a time (in
minutes) when the control panel will warn anyone
who may be in the premises that an auto arm is
about to take place.
NOTE: The warning time is additional to the Auto-
arm time. E.g. if the auto arm time is 22:00, a
warning time of 15 minutes will added to this , so
the actual panel arm time will become 22:15. If the
panel must arm at 22:00, but a 15 minute warning
time is also needed, the auto arm time should be selected as 21:45.
3. Select the 'Delay to Arm' time. This time is used if a person in the premises needs to delay the auto-
timer. If a code is entered on the control panel during the warning period time, the auto timer can be
delayed. E.g. If the warning period is set to 15 minutes, and the Delay Auto-Arm Time is set to 20
minutes. Then a user will have a further 5 minutes before the Auto-Arm begins.
NOTE: It you do need a delay auto arm time, it is recommended that this time is set to 1 minute more
than the Warning period. The delay auto timer must always be set higher than the Warning Period.
4. Select the areas to disarm for the Auto-Disarms programmed previously. These are usually the same
