• The scheduling features of this control allow certain
operations to be automated, such as auto-arming, auto-
disarming, auto-bypassing and un-bypassing of zones,
and activating relay outputs (using powerline carrier
devices or 4204 modules).
• The system uses time windows for defining open/close
schedules, holiday
temporary schedules.

detail in this section. These menus take you step by
step through the options.
• The system can automatically arm (AWAY mode) itself
at the end of a pre-determined closing (arming) time
window, if the system has not been armed manually.
Auto arming can be delayed three ways: by use of the
auto arm delay, the auto arm warning, or by manually
extending the closing (arming) time window with a
keypad command. The system can also automatically
bypass any open zones when auto arming.
• Auto-arm delay provides a delay (grace period) before
auto arming. It starts at the end of the closing window.
Delay is set in 4 minute increments, up to 56 minutes in
partition-specific programme field 2*05. The expiration
of this delay causes auto-arm warning to start.
• The auto-arm warning causes the keypad sounder to
warn the user of an impending auto-arm. The warning
can be set to start 01 to 15 minutes prior to arming in
partition-specific programme field 2*06. During this
period the keypad will beep every 15 seconds and
display "AUTO ARM ALERT" ("AA" on non-alpha
keypads). The beeps may be silenced by pressing any
key on a keypad. When the remaining time drops below
60 seconds, the keypads will begin to beep every 5
seconds. The panel will arm at the conclusion of the
auto-arm warning period.
