2.8 Forced Arming

listed systems)
Forced arming allows you to arm the system even though
one zone or several zones are disturbed, and the NOT
READY message is displayed.
Automatic forced arming only works if the installer allowed
this option while programming your system. Disturbed
zones will be bypassed - they will not be armed. The
protected site will not have maximum protection.
Note: When forced arming is carried out, the buzzer
"protests" by emitting a continuous tone during the exit
delay until the last 10 seconds of the delay. You can
silence this signal by pressing the arming button again.
Forced arming "AWAY" proceeds as follows:

2.9 Arming in the Latchkey Mode

to be used in UL-listed systems)
This mode is useful for a parent at work who wants to be
sure that his children have returned from school and have
disarmed the system. Arming in the "latchkey" mode
means that a special "latchkey" message will be sent out
when the system is disarmed by a "latchkey user".
Latchkey users are holders of user codes 5 through 8 or
users of Keyfob transmitters 5 through 8. The latchkey
message is considered an alert and not an alarm, and is
therefore sent to the private telephones programmed by
the user as targets for alert messages.
