Automatic
Arming Your installer may have set up your system to arm at a pre-programmed time. If automatic
arming has been programmed, when the system reaches the programmed auto-arm time,
the keypad buzzers will sound for a programmed number of minutes (Default=5), and
LCD5500Z keypads will display “System Arming in Progress”.
During this warning time, you may be able to cancel or postpone auto-arming by entering
your [access code]. Ask your installer for more information.
NOTE: The correct system time and date must be programmed in order for the
auto-arm feature to function properly. Please see “Setting the Time and Date” on page
18.
Disarming
Your Security
System 1. If you are outside, enter the premises through a designated entry/exit door. If you are
inside, go to step 2.
NOTE: Entering by any other door will immediately cause an alarm.
The keypad beeps to indicate that you must disarm the system. LCD5500Z keypads dis-
play “Entry Active Enter Your Code”. Your system should have a minimum 30 second
entry delay for false alarm reduction purposes. Please consult your installer for the pro-
grammed entry delay time on your system partition.
2. Go to the keypad and enter your [access code]. The correct access code must be entered
before the entry delay period expires. If a valid access code is not entered during this
time, the system will sound an alarm.
NOTE: If you entered the access code incorrectly, the keypad sounder buzzes
steadily for two seconds. Re-enter your access code correctly.
As soon as the correct code is entered, the Armed light turns OFF and the keypad stops
beeping.
If no alarms occurred while the system was armed and there are no trouble conditions
present, LCD5500Z keypads will display “System Disarmed No Alarm Memory” for a
few seconds, and then “Enter Code to Arm System”. If the system is in alarm and is
silenced by entering the access code, the LCD display may prompt “Communications
Cancelled”. This will notify the user that the alarm has not been sent to the central
monitoring station.
3. If an alarm occurred while the system was armed:
• LCD5501Z keypads will flash the Memory indicator
• LCD5500Z keypads will display “View Memory <> “Zone of Alarm”. See “View-
ing Alarms in Memory” on page 11.
CAUTION: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you were
away, it is possible that an intruder is still on the premises. Go to a nearby safe
location, and call your central station or the local authorities to investigate.
The alarm memory is cleared each time the panel is armed, so any alarms show-
ing are alarms that occurred only during the last armed period.
