Home/Away System Arming - Security Command XR200 User Manual

Home/Away System Arming

Area Assignment: Your security system is divided into two or three
separate areas. Motion detectors, inside doors, and other interior
devices are assigned to an Interior and possibly Bedroom area while
windows and exterior doors, are assigned to a Perimeter area.
Arming the system: When arming a Home/Away system, the keypad
displays HOME AWAY or HOME SLEEP AWAY. If you select AWAY,
you arm all areas of the system. You will want to arm all areas
when leaving with nobody staying inside. Selecting HOME arms
only the Perimeter of the system. Perimeter arming is for when
you are staying inside but want the comfort of knowing the exterior
doors and windows are armed. Perimeter arming allows you to
move freely about inside without setting off any interior alarms.
Selecting SLEEP arms the Perimeter and Interior devices but leaves
devices near bedrooms or other nighttime areas off.

armed without bypassing, the keypad displays SYSTEM READY. If

keypad displays SYSTEM NOT READY. Pressing any top row Select
key during this display shows the zone number and name allowing
you to investigate the problem.
