Introduction to Security System Operation

You can arm your system in one of three arming modes: Away, Stay, and Night. The following table lists the three
different arming modes and the results of each.
Arming
Mode
AWAY
Press to arm when no one is staying on the premises.
When armed in AWAY, the system sounds an alarm if
a protected door or window is opened, or if any
movement is detected inside the premises.
STAY Press to arm when you are staying home, but might
expect someone to use the entrance door later.
When armed in STAY, the system sounds an alarm if
a protected door or window is opened, but you may
otherwise move freely throughout the premises.
NIGHT
Press to arm when you are staying home and do not
expect anyone to use the entrance door. Your installer
may have configured NIGHT Mode differently; have
the installer describe the actual settings of this mode.
Note: Night Mode (on Residential Panels Only) arms all perimeter zones plus all zones listed in Zone List 5.
IMPORTANT: On commercial systems, "Away Auto Stay" mode is shown as "Away" mode (with all zones monitored). However, some
interior zones may not be armed.
Note: The Voice Status Icon (
3 seconds and press again to hear Zone Faults or Trouble conditions. Voice status will annunciate even if Voice mode and Chime
mode are disabled. Note that the Voice feature must be enabled (by the installer) for this icon to function correctly during an alarm
condition.
Note: There is a communicator delay of 30 seconds. This delay will prevent a report to the central station if the control panel is
disarmed within 30 seconds after an intrusion alarm is triggered. This delay can be removed, or it can be increased up to 45 seconds at
the option of the user by consulting with the installer. Note that fire-type alarms are normally reported without delay.
