Home security

The panel allows you to control which sensors are active at any given time. Table 4 describes the five arming
levels that you can set from the control panel.

motion sensors—both
Description
If your system includes 24-hour protection sensors on items such as gun or jewelry
cases, you must subdisarm the panel before accessing these areas to avoid causing
an alarm. Environmental sensors, such as smoke and carbon monoxide, stay active at
all times.
In this level, only 24-hour sensors are active.
This level arms the door and window sensors, while leaving the interior motion
sensors disarmed.
This level allows you to arm the interior motion sensors, while leaving the exterior
door and window sensors disarmed.
This level allows you to arm all sensors.
