Alternate Arming Methods

Away Arming

Arming the system in the Away mode activates all interior and perimeter zones. If motion is detected
in the interior zones, or if one of the perimeter zones is violated, the alarm sequence will begin.
To arm in the Away mode, enter your access code and exit the premises through a designated Exit/
Entry door. The system will recognize that occupants have left the premises. Once the exit delay
expires, the system will be fully armed.
You can restart the exit delay once by pressing the Away button before the exit delay expires.
Audible Exit Fault
In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an
improper exit when arming the system in the Away mode. In the event that you fail to exit
the premises during the allotted exit delay period, or if you do not securely close the Exit/
Entry door, the system will notify you that it was improperly armed in two ways: the
keypad will emit one continuous beep and the bell or siren will sound. If this occurs, you
must re-enter the premises, enter your access code to disarm the system, and then follow
the arming procedure again, making sure to exit the premises in the proper fashion. Your
installer will inform you if the Audible Exit Fault feature has been enabled on your system.

Stay Arming

This feature, if enabled by your installer, will allow you to arm the perimeter zones (i.e., doors and
windows) while leaving the interior zones (i.e., motion sensors) inactive so that you can remain on
the premises while the system is armed. When you enter your security code to arm the system and
do not exit the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door, the system will arm in the Stay mode,
automatically bypassing the interior zones.
The interior zones can be reactivated at any time by entering [,][1] at any keypad. If you reactivate
the interior zones, be sure to only inhabit areas not covered by motion detectors. To access areas
protected by motion sensors, you must enter your security code and disarm the system.
