Arm The System (Away Mode) - 2gig Technologies EDGE User Manual

Arm the System (Away Mode)

Away Mode arms the system including interior sensors .
Use this mode when occupants will be leaving the
premises . When arming the system in Away Mode, the
system arms all sensor-protected perimeter doors and
windows, interior motion sensors, interior glass break
sensors, and any other sensor-protected interior doors .
In residential installations, Away Mode is frequently used
during daytime hours .
In commercial installations, it is most frequently used
during non-business hours . Because all burglary
protection features are ON, an alarm would be triggered
when movement is detected, if any protected doors or
windows are opened or if the system detects breaking
glass .
To learn how to arm the system in Stay Mode, see Arm
the System (Stay Mode) above .
NOTE: Consult your installer to determine if
your system is configured with the Quick Arming
feature . When enabled, the Quick Arming feature
allows anyone to arm the system without entering
a user code . When disabled, you must enter an
active user code to arm the system .
To arm the system in Away Mode:
1 . Ensure that all perimeter doors and windows are
closed . The system status message should read
System Ready to Arm . If the status messages
reads System Not Ready to Arm and the
Sensors Not Ready list appears, a protected
door or window is open. You must first close
that door/window or place it on the Bypassed
Sensors list . See
facing in the next section .
2 . At the Home screen, tap ARM AWAY .
3 . (Optional) At the Enter Your Code to Arm the
System screen, enter an active user code . If the
Quick Arming feature is enabled, you will skip this
step and not be prompted for a user code .
4 . (Optional) If you want to cancel the arming action
before the countdown expires, tap Disarm . Then
enter an active user code .
The countdown timer appears and the system
announces "Arming Away" . The countdown gives
occupants time to enter or exit the premises through a
protected door .
During the Exit Delay countdown, the system emits a
series of beeps that become faster during the last 10
seconds . Once the countdown expires, occupants will
not be able to enter or exit through protected doors and
windows without triggering the burglary alarm or Entry
Delay .

NOTES:
1 Consult your installer to determine if the Exit
Delay Restart feature is enabled on your
system . This feature restarts the Exit Delay
countdown if an occupant enters or exits
through a protected door or window before the
countdown expires .
2 (Optional) If you want to silence the countdown
beeps and announcements, tap Silence . This
turns the Silent Exit feature ON and extends the
Exit Delay countdown .
3 Consult your installer to determine how the Exit
Delay feature is configured on your system (45-
120 seconds) .
4 Consult your installer to determine in the Auto
Stay feature is enabled on your system . If you
arm the system in Away Mode and no one
exits through an Exit Delay door before the
countdown expires, the system will automatically
arm itself in Stay Mode .
