armed.
If this message appears, be aware of which zones are bypassed and why (see

Bypass Active
"Zone Bypassing" on page 11). NOTE: If you arm the system with a zone
bypassed or with a trouble present, your security protection is reduced.

Alternate Arming Methods

Away Arming

Arming the system in the Away mode will have all interior zones and perimeter zones active. If motion
is detected in the interior zones, or if one of the perimeter zones is violated, the alarm sequence will
begin. To arm in the Away mode, enter your access code and exit the premises through a designated
Exit/Entry door. The system will recognize that occupants have left the premises. Once the exit delay
expires, the system will be fully armed.
If your installer has programmed the "Away" function key, you can use it at any time to Away arm your
system. Press and hold the key for 2 seconds to initiate away arming. If your system is stay armed,
pressing the Away key will turn on the interior zones and the system will be away armed.
Audible Exit Fault
In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an improper
exit when arming the system in the Away mode. In the event that you fail to exit the premises during
the allotted exit delay period, or if you do not securely close the Exit/Entry door, the system will notify
you that it was improperly armed in two ways: the keypad will emit one continuous beep and the bell or
siren will sound. If this occurs, you must re-enter the premises, enter your access code to disarm the
system, and then follow the arming procedure again, making sure to exit the premises in the proper
fashion. Your installer will tell you if the Audible Exit Fault has been enabled on your system.
Stay Arming
This feature, if enabled by your installer, will allow you to arm the perimeter zones while leaving the
interior zones inactive so that you can remain on the premises while the system is armed. When you
enter your security code to arm the system and do not exit the premises through a designated Exit/
Entry door, the system will arm in the Stay mode, automatically bypassing the interior zones.
If your installer has programmed the "Stay" function key, you can use it at any time to stay arm your
system. Press and hold the key for 2 seconds to turn on stay arming. If your system is away armed,
pressing the Stay key will turn off the interior zones and the system will be stay armed.
You can turn the interior zones on again by pressing the Away key or [ ][1]. If you turn on the interior
zones, do not go into areas covered by motion detectors. To access areas protected by motion detectors,
you must enter your security code and disarm the system, or press the Stay key to turn off interior zones.
Arming Without Entry Delay
If you wish to arm your system without the entry delay, enter [ ][9] then your access code. The Armed
light will flash as a reminder that the system is armed and has no entry delay. An entry through any
zone programmed as a delay zone will create an instant alarm.
The entry delay can be activated or deactivated at any time while the system is armed by pressing [ ][9].

Use the arrow (< >) keys to view which zone is open. This message will
disappear when the zone is restored.
5. If the panel has any fire zones, activation will cause the alarm signal to sound in a pulsed mode.
CAUTION: Do not use an open flame or burning materials to test a smoke or heat detector.
Contact your installer for information on safe methods of testing detectors.
6. When testing is complete, call and advise the central station. Should the system fail to function
properly, contact your installer.
NOTE: Some features described above will not be functional unless enabled by your installer.
Please ensure that your installer has advised you which features are functional on your system.

Door Chime Feature

The door chime feature is used, while the panel is disarmed, to provide a tone from the keypad each
time a door or window is opened or closed. The doors and windows which will provide this indication
are programmed by your installer.

buzzer will beep 3 times if the door chime feature is enabled and will sound one long beep if it is
disabled. Press [#] to return to the Ready state.
