2.2 Preparing to Arm

Before arming, make sure that READY is displayed:
R E A D Y H H : M M
If Ready is displayed, all zones are secured, and you may
arm the system any way you choose.
If at least one zone is open (disturbed), the display will read:
N O T R E A D Y H H : M M
If NOT READY is displayed, click
numbers and names of all open zones one by one.
Let us assume that zone 2 (the back door) and zone 13
(the kitchen) are open. To investigate, proceed as follows:
Action
N O T R E A D Y H H : M M
B A C K D O O R
Z 2 O P E N
K i t c h e n
Z 1 3 O P E N
None (see note
below)
N O T R E A D Y H H : M M
Note: To quit immediately at any stage, press
It is highly recommended to fix the open zone(s), thus
restoring the system to the state of "ready to arm". If you
do not know how to do this, consult your installer.
IMPORTANT! All arming procedures below are based on
the assumption that quick arming has been enabled by
the installer. If quick arming is disabled, the PowerMax
will prompt you to enter your security code before arming.

allowed, proceed as shown:
Action

2.5 Switching from 'HOME' to 'AWAY'

Do not disarm the system - just press
response will be the same as in Para. 2.2. Vacate the
premises before the exit delay expires.

2.6 Switching from 'AWAY' to 'HOME'

Do not disarm the system - just press
this operation reduces the security level, the PowerMax
will ask you to key in your master or user code, thus
making sure that you are an authorized user.
