ARMING PERIMETER ONLY
WITH ENTRY DELAY ON
Using the
3 STAY Key
BEFORE ARMING, m a k e
sure all doors and windows
are closed. Refer to
C H E C K I N G F O R O P E N
ZONES on page 13.
Use this key when staying inside, but expect someone to use an entry/exit door later.
1. Enter your security code and press the STAY key.
2. The keypad beeps three times and displays the armed STAY message. The red
ARMED indicator lights. Note that there is an exit delay in effect before arming actually
takes place. See the note below.
3. After arming, an alarm sounds immediately if a protected perimeter window or non-
entry/exit door is then opened, but you may otherwise move freely throughout the
premises.
THE STAY MODE ARMS
THE PERIMETER, BUT
ALLOWS USE OF THE
ENTRY/EXIT DOOR.
PERSONS WITHIN THE
PREMISES CAN MOVE
ABOUT FREELY.
Anyone entering later can enter through an entry/exit door without causing an alarm, but
they must disarm the system within the
entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.
If you wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after arming STAY, you can re-
start the
exit delay at any time – simply press the [ ✱ ] key, and then let that person in.
This will avoid having to disarm the system and then re-arm it again.
Note: When you first arm the system in the STAY mode, “You may exit now” will be
displayed on an Alpha keypad during the programmed exit delay.
This delay is in effect in
the system even when arming STAY. When the exit delay period ends, “You may exit
now” disappears and the system is then fully armed in the STAY mode.
