StayD Mode

Overview

•

NOTE: StayD is automatically enabled when a path is programmed to a keypad. When deleting a wireless keypad from the system, the corresponding path

zones will also be deleted. StayD simplifies your life and makes it safer by protecting you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without ever having to disarm the

system - even when entering an armed area. StayD lives with you and protects you at all times, without any unprotected periods, and while automatically

rearming the system so you don't have to remember to do it. This unique feature integrates security into your everyday life to give you safe, simple living with

peace of mind.

Entry/Exit Paths

•

StayD consists of programmed pathways, where the user enters and exits the property through pre-defined routes, with only the route's respective zones

open for passage. A path can be programmed for each individual keypad, with a maximum of four zones per path. Path zones must be defined as follow or

delay zones only. StayD is automatically enabled when a path is programmed to a keypad.

•

The first zone programmed in a path is its designated entry point (e.g. doors, garage). Designated entry points are not common to multiple paths. There is only

one designated entry point per path. Also, they are only used when entering/exiting with a remote control (see below).

•

The system only disables the path zones corresponding to the keypad at the point of entry/exit, while re-arming as you enter/exit.

•

If another path zone opens before trying to disarm the system, you can validate the zone by entering your user code. For example, you have entered your

home through Path 1 and are at your keypad. Before disarming the system, you notice a Path 2 zone has opened. If you know it is a member of your family and

would like to validate the open zone, enter your user code. All paths, including Path 1, will subsequently be validated. If the path 2 zone opens after you have

entered your code to validate Path 1, you must enter your code again to validate Path 2.

•

You must enter your code for every zone that opens that is not part of any path. For example, if you have entered through Path 1 and a non-path zone opens,

you must enter your code once to validate your path and once for the non-path zone. If you do not validate the non-path zone, the system will fall in alarm.

Entry/Exit with a Keypad

•

When entering with a keypad, the path zones will fall into entry delay, allowing you to reach the keypad. Use the keypad to disarm the system and switch to

Stay arm mode.

•

When exiting with a keypad, only the path zones will fall into delay (same as exit delay), allowing you to leave while the rest of the premises remains secure.

Entry/Exit with a Remote Control

•

When using a remote control, the path you use is defined by a designated entry point. For example: if after pressing the remote control to disarm the system

you trigger zone 1, the system will check to see which path(s) include zone 1. All paths that include zone 1 will open. Only after reaching the designated entry

point will the system know which path you are taking, and thus will re-arm all other paths. After entry with a remote, the system will automatically arm in Stay

mode.

•

To disarm the system with a remote control: Press

four times to cancel the exit delay and arm the system in Stay mode.

Window Mode and Re-arm Delay

•

In a Stay-armed system: This mode allows you to open one exterior zone without triggering an alarm. To enter Window mode, press [

]. All zones that can be opened flash. The system will start an exit delay, allowing you to open an exterior zone such as a window or a door. The system will

CODE

only allow you to open one zone as the exit delay will end after doing so. When you close the open zone (window, door, etc.) that zone will re-arm.

•

Re-arm Delay is a delay timer set so that when you close the open exterior zone (window, door etc.), it does not re-arm instantly. Instead the system starts the

delay to allow you to close the zone properly. The delay will start every time you open the zone while trying to close it, and you must close the zone for 5

seconds for it to arm. This is especially useful for eliminating false alarms caused by windows that stick.
