3.2. AWAY Mode

When to use

This mode is used when leaving the building or premise, i.e. AWAY from premises.

Arming the system in this mode will activate all detectors.

Indications

The siren will beep once and the strobe will flash for 2 seconds. There will be a 20

second delay before the system is fully armed. During this delay only the 24 hour

detectors (e.g. smoke detectors) and tamper signals will trigger the alarm. If any extra

beeps are heard, see section 3.7 (Supervision Reporting).

Triggering

If a detector is triggered, when the system is fully armed, the alarm will sound for 5

minutes or until the system is disarmed (which ever occurs first). Each detector zone

can only trigger the siren once, in one arming period.

When to use

This mode is used for protecting only a selected area(s) of the building while you (and

others) are on the premises or someone is STAYING home. Commonly used at night

while sleeping.

Indications

The siren will beep once on the first press and will then make a low tone beep the on

the second press. There will be a 20 second delay before the system is armed in STAY

mode. If any extra beeps are heard, see section 3.7 (Supervision Reporting).

Triggering

Arming the system in this mode will enable zone 1 (default), and other extra detectors

that have been set to trigger the alarm in STAY mode. When any stay mode detector is

triggered in this mode after the 20 second exit delay the siren will beep 5 times.

When to use

The system should be disarmed before entering the building or premise.

Indications

The siren will beep twice and the strobe will flash for 5 seconds. The siren will beep 4

times instead of twice, if the alarm has been triggered while the system was armed. If

any extra beeps are heard, see section 3.6 (Low Battery Reporting).
