How Your System Operates - Security Command XR20 Executive Series User Manual

Exit Error
This is an automatic panel function that prevents an alarm from
occurring if an exit door does not close all the way after the system
is armed.
For example, if the front door is left ajar upon exit and the exit
delay time expires, the system attempts to arm the front door zone
but recognizes the open condition. The system sounds the alarm
sirens for two seconds to alert you of the condition.
If the open condition is not corrected, the system sends an Exit
Error report to the central station and force arms the door. If the
door closes at a later time, it is included back into the system.
The Exit Error feature allows the central station to acknowledge
the arming error without dispatching the police on a false alarm.

How Your System Operates

Your system has been programmed to operate in one of three
modes: Area, All/Perimeter or Home/Sleep/Away.
• Area — Your burglary protection is divided into up to four
areas. Each area can have a custom name, be turned on or
off independently of other areas, and limit access to only those
users with proper authority.
• All/Perimeter — Your burglary protection is divided into two
areas: Interior and Perimeter.
Perimeter arming is for when you are 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.
All arms both the Perimeter and the Interior of the system. You
want to arm both of these areas when leaving the building and
no one is left inside.
• Home/Sleep/Away — Your burglary protection is divided into
two or three areas: Perimeter, Interior, and Bedrooms.
Home (Perimeter) arming is for when you are staying inside but
want the comfort of knowing the exterior doors and windows are
armed.
Sleep (Perimeter and Interior) arms all areas except those near
bedrooms and nighttime areas.
Away (Perimeter, Interior, and Bedrooms) arms all three areas
for when you leave the building and no one is left inside.
Regardless of which mode is programmed, much of the operation
is similar. Throughout this guide, any differences between the
systems are noted for your convenience.
