Extend Closing Command - National Security Systems Security System Owner's Manual

Extend Closing COMMAND 51

•
Your system may be programmed to expect you to arm within a scheduled closing
window, which is a duration of time that is programmed by your alarm company. Your
system may also be programmed to automatically arm at the end of the window.
•
COMMAND 51 lets you extend the scheduled closing window time either prior to the
closing window time or during the closing window time. Use this function when you
expect to stay past the scheduled end of the closing window. The length of time prior to
the start of the closing window in which you are allowed to extend the closing window is
set by your alarm company. AREA X INACTIVE displays during the time when the
command center won't allow the window to be extended.
•
At the beginning of the closing window, the command center beeps and
displays PLEASE CLOSE NOW to remind you to arm your system. It remains
in the display until you arm, the close window ends, or you extend closing.
Alarm or trouble messages replace this message in the event of an alarm or
trouble condition. If the alarm or trouble condition clears before the end of the
close window PLEASE CLOSE NOW returns to the command center display.
•
Pressing the ESC key will silence the beep and clear the message for 10
minutes. If you have not armed or extended closing, the PLEASE CLOSE
NOW and beep will reappear after 10 minutes. The length of time for the
closing window is set by your alarm company. To extend the window, enter the
new time at which you would like the reminder tone to begin. This time will be
the new beginning of the closing window. The time length of the closing window
is programmed by your security company and remains fixed.
•
When you hear the warning you can:
• Leave before the end of the closing window by pressing ESC to silence the
signal, arming the system, and leaving.
• Stay past the scheduled end of the closing window, by using COMMAND
51 to extend the closing window.
Note: The amount of time available to close is not effected by extending the closing
window. For example, if your closing window starts at 4:00 p.m. and stops at
4:30 p.m. and you extend closing to 5:00 p.m., the closing window will now be
between 5:00 and 5:30 p.m.
