Arming Functions

Arming: During arming, the system verifies that all doors, windows,
and other protection devices to be armed are in normal condition.
If everything is normal, the system arms. If there is a problem on
one or more burglary zones, the keypad displays the problem and
allows you to correct the problem or bypass those zones.
If the problem can be corrected by closing a door or window, do
not bypass the zone. Instead, correct the problem and try arming
again. If the problem cannot be corrected, you can bypass the zone
or wait until the zone can be repaired by a service technician. A
bypassed zone is ignored by the system during the armed period.
In some cases the keypad might display FRONT DOOR - FAULT.
The keypad may then display PRIORITY ZONE, which is a zone that
cannot be bypassed. The problem on the zone must be corrected
before the system can be armed.
After making your arming selection, the keypad displays any zones
that are currently bypassed. These zones remain bypassed until
the system is armed and then disarmed. Any 24-hour zones in a
faulted condition also display.
Introduction
Armed Message: After completing all bypasses or correcting zone
After completing all bypasses or correcting zone faults, the areas
selected are armed.
For All/Perimeter systems the keypad briefly displays ALL SYSTEM
ON if all areas in the system are arming or PERIMETER ON if only
selected areas are arming.
For Home/Away or Home/Sleep/Away systems the keypad displays
ALL SYSTEM ON if all areas in the system are arming, HOME MODE
ON or SLEEP MODE ON if only selected areas are arming.
The keypad then displays the exit delay timer as it counts down.
Zones are not fully armed until the exit delay time expires. If your
system uses a keyswitch to arm an area, the exit delay time does
NOT count down on the keypad display.
DIALING . . . Message: If your system is monitored, it may be
programmed to wait for the arming report to be sent to the central
station before displaying the armed message. (See Arming Report
below.) This verifies your phone lines are working properly. While
the system waits, the display reads DIALING.... If the report is
received, the keypad buzzes for one second and displays the armed
message. If the report is not received, the keypad displays LOCAL
ALARM ONLY before displaying the armed message.
Arming Report: Your system may be pre-programmed at installation
to send arming or zone bypass reports to a central station.
