3 ARMING THE SYSTEM
3A - Arming Levels;
The system is designed for simple and easy arming.
“Disarmed” - When the system is “Disarmed”, it is still providing protection with,
1. keypad emergency buttons, P, A, or F,
2. smoke or fire detection devices,
3. possibly 24-hour sensors for special cabinets, closets, drawers, etc.
“Home” - When the system is armed to “Home”, it allows you to move around freely without
concerns but touching specific doors or windows may cause the system to sound.
“Away” - When the system is armed to “Away”, all protection is “Active”.
You cannot bypass smoke or fire devices.
Your system may be set up by your installer to arm in a mode other than the Away Mode or the Home
Mode. If this is the case, your installer will provide instructions on how to arm your system, and how your
system functions while armed.
3B - Arming the System in the Away Mode
The Keypad will normally be in an inactive state to conserve its batteries.
Press
and the Keypad will wake up.
Enter your personal Access Code using the Number Keys. As each digit of
the code is entered, an “X” will appear on the Keypad screen. If a mistake
is made while entering the Access Code, press the
Key to clear the
mistake and re-enter the Code.
If the system is ready to be armed, this message will be displayed for a few
seconds, then the next message will be displayed. If the system is not ready
to be armed the keypad will alert you of any conditions. See Section 5 of this
manual for further discriptions.
To arm the system in the Away Mode, press the -YES Key when this
message is displayed. If the system is armed in Away Mode, all zones will
be active when the system is armed.
When the -YES Key is pressed, the Exit Delay will begin and this
message will be displayed for a few seconds. With 30 seconds remaining
in the Exit Delay, the Sounder will begin to “beep” once every second.
During the last 10 seconds of the Exit Delay, the Sounder will “beep”
twice every second. At the end of the Exit Delay, the Sounder will be
silenced and the system will be armed.
3C - Improper Arming Warning
If a loud error tone sounds when you arm the system, re-enter your personal Access Code to silence the system.
Check the keypad to see if a sensor, has been left open. Close the zone, and then re-arm the system.
