There are a number of ways to arm the PCX 256; either via the keypad, via the keypad proximity
reader, the internal tag reader or the external prox reader. Each involves either entering a valid
user code or presenting a valid tag/card.

2.1.1 Arming Arm Modes Via The Keypad

If the engineer has selected that the system is to be used as a Level arm system rather than a
Partition system, then you will arm the system as follows:
1. Enter your user code (default 1234) or present your card
2. Before you can arm the system, any active faults will be displayed (see above), press the
key.
3. The system will allow you to arm the required arm mode.
4. Use the numeric and the ¤,¦,§,© keys to select the arm mode you wish to arm and press
the key. The system will start to arm. Once system has armed, a beep will be heard and the
system is armed.
NOTE: The system will only arm depending on what 'Exit Mode' is programmed. This would
have been selected by your engineer. For example:
If Timed is selected the system will arm after the exit time has expired.
If Final Door is selected, the system will only arm after the entry/exit door has been opened/closed.
If PTS (Push To Set) is selected, the system will only arm after the Push To Set button has been
pushed.
