All/Perimeter System Arming - Security Command XR20 User Manual

All/Perimeter System Arming

Area Assignment: Your security system is divided into two separate
areas. Motion detectors, inside doors, and other interior protection
devices are assigned to the Interior area while windows and exterior
doors are assigned to the Perimeter area.
Perimeter or All: When arming an All/Perimeter system, the
keypad displays PERIM ALL. If you select ALL, you arm both the
Perimeter and the Interior of the system. You'll want to arm both of
these areas when leaving with nobody left inside. Selecting PERIM
arms only the Perimeter of the system. Perimeter arming is for when
you're staying inside but want the comfort of knowing the exterior
doors and windows are armed. Perimeter arming allows you to
move freely about inside without setting off any interior alarms.
System Ready/System Not Ready Keypad Displays
When all zones in the system are in a normal condition, 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 zone name allowing you to investigate the problem.
Instant Arming
Instant: During the exit delay time, you can cancel the exit and entry
delays and cause all zones to be instant zones. Just press the far
right select key under INSTNT while the exit delay is displayed. This
immediately arms the exit zones. However, no entry delay is
provided and an alarm will occur should an entry door be opened.
