Home/Away System Arming - Security Command XR20 User Manual

Home/Away System Arming

Area Assignment: Your security system is divided into two or three
separate areas. Motion detectors, inside doors, and other interior
devices are assigned to an Interior and possibly Bedroom area while
windows and exterior doors, are assigned to a Perimeter area.
Arming the system: When arming a Home/Away system, the
keypad displays HOME AWAY or HOME SLEEP AWAY. If you select
AWAY, you arm all areas of the system. You will want to arm all
areas when leaving with nobody staying inside. Selecting HOME
arms only the Perimeter of the system. Perimeter arming is for
when you are staying inside but want the comfort of knowing the
exterior doors and windows are armed. Selecting SLEEP arms the
Perimeter and Interior devices but leaves devices near bedrooms
and other nighttime areas off.
System Ready/System Not Ready Keypad Displays
When all zones in the system are in a normal condition and can be
armed without bypassing, the keypad displays SYSTEM READY. If
there are one or more zones that are not in a normal condition, the
keypad displays SYSTEM NOT READY. Pressing any top row Select
key during this display shows the bad zone name.
