4.4.7 Quick Arm 

(fig. 4.4, location 07)

 

Here  you  determine  whether  the  user  will  be  allowed  to 
perform  quick  arming  or  not.  Once  quick  arming  is 
permitted,  the  control panel does not request  a user code 
before it arms the system. 
The two options are: 

quick arm ON

 and 

quick arm OFF

4.4.8 Bypass 

(fig. 4.4, location 08)

 

Here  you  permit  either  manual  bypassing  of  individual 
zones  (through the USER SETTINGS menu), or allow the 
system  to  "force  arm"  (perform  automatic  bypassing)  of 
open  zones  during  the  exit  delay.  If  desired,  press  the 
arming  key  twice  if you want to eliminate the delay beeps 
that continue during a force arming. If a zone is open and 
forced arming is not permitted, “NOT READY” is displayed 
and  the  system  does  not  arm  (the  “Sad  Melody”  will 
sound).  If  "no  bypass"  is  selected,  neither  manual 
bypassing nor force arming is allowed. 
Options: 

manual bypass

force arm

 and 

no bypass

In UL installations, "force arm" must not be selected.  

4.4.9 Exit Mode 

(fig. 4.4, location 09)

 

Here you determine whether the exit delay will restart if the 
exit / entry  door is reopened  before the exit delay expires. 
Restarting  the  exit  delay  is  helpful  if  the  user  re-enters 
immediately after going out to retrieve an item that he left 
behind. Three types of exit mode are available: 

Restart  Exit

  -  Exit  delay  restarts  when  the  door  is 

reopened during exit delay. The restart occurs once only. 

Off  by  door

  -  When  the  door  is  closed,  the  exit  delay  is 

automatically terminated (even if the defined exit delay was 
not completed). 

Normal

 - The exit delay is exactly as defined, regardless of 

whether the door is open or closed. 

In UL installations, "normal" must be selected. 

4.4.10 Piezo Beeps 

(fig. 4.4, location 10)

 

Here you determine whether warning beeps will sound or muted 
during  exit  and  entry  delays.  An  additional  option  is  to  mute  the 
warning beeps only when the system is armed “HOME”. 
Options: 

enable beeps

off when home

 and 

disable beeps

4.4.11 Trouble Beeps 

(fig. 4.4, location 11)

 

Under  trouble  conditions,  the  sounder  emits  a  series  of  3 
short beeps once per minute. Here you determine whether 
this  special  beeping  sequence  will  be  active,  inactive,  or 
just inactive at night (the range of “night” hours is defined in 
the factory). The 3 options are: 

enable beeps

off at night

 

(8 PM through 7 AM)

 and 

disable beeps

4.4.12 Panic Alarm 

(fig. 4.4, location 12)

 

Here  you  determine  whether  the  user  will  be  allowed  to 
initiate  a  panic  alarm  by  simultaneous  pressing  either  the 
two panic buttons (on the keypad / wireless commander) or 
away  +  home  (on  a  keyfob  transmitter).  Audible  panic 
activates the siren and simultaneously transmits a message 
via  telephone.  Silent  panic  only  transmits  a  message  via 
telephone.  The  options  are: 

silent  panic,

 

audible  panic

 

and 

disable panic

4.4.13 Swinger Stop 

(fig. 4.4, location 13)

 

Here you determine how many times each zone is allowed 
to initiate an alarm within a single arming period (including 
tamper  &  power  failure  events  of  detectors,  Abbra  and 
wireless  siren).  If  the alarms  number from a specific zone 
exceeds  the  programmed  number,  the  control  panel 
automatically bypasses the zone to prevent recurrent siren 
noise  and  nuisance  reporting  to  the  central  station.  The 
zone  will  be reactivated  upon disarming, or 48 hours  after 
having been bypassed (if the system remains armed). 
The available options are: 

shut after 1

shut after 2

shut 

after 3

 and 

no shutdown

In UL installations, No Shutdown must be selected.

 

4.4.14 Cross Zoning 

(fig. 4.4, location 14)  

Do not use in UL installations.  

Here you determine whether cross zoning will be active or 
inactive. Cross zoning is a method used to counteract false 
alarms  -  an alarm will not be initiated unless two adjacent 
zones  are  violated  within  a  30-second  time  limit.  This 
feature  is  active  only  when  arming  AWAY  and  only  with 
zone couples  from zone No. 18 to 27 (18 and 19, 20 and 
21,  etc.).  You  may  use  any  one  of  these  zone  couples  to 
create a “cross-zoned” area.  

Note:

 If one of two crossed zones is bypassed (see Para. 

4.4.8), the remaining zone will function independently. 

Note:

  Every  2  crossed  zones  must  be  of  the  allowed 

zone type (Interior, Perimeter, Perimeter follower). 

The options are: 

cross zone ON

 and 

cross zone OFF

Cross zoning is not applicable in Entry/ Exit zones and 
24h zones (Fire, Emergency, 24h audible, 24h silent).                                                                              

4.4.15 Supervision 

(fig. 4.4, location 15)

 

Here  you  determine  the  time  limit  for  reception  of 
supervision  reports  from  various  supervised  wireless 
devices.  If any device does not report at least once within 
the selected time limit, an “INACTIVITY” alert is initiated. 
The options are: 

1

2

4

8

12

 

hours

 and 

disable

In  UL  installations,  the  interval  must  not  exceed  4  h 
and shall not be disabled.

 

4.4.16 NOT READY 

(fig. 4.4, location 16) 

Here  you  determine  if  the  system  will  be  NOT  READY 
status  when  there  is  a  supervision  failure.  In  the  "in 
supervision"  mode,  the  system  will  be  in  NOT  READY 
status if during the last 20 minutes a supervision message 
was not received.  Options: 

normal

 and 

in supervision

4.4.17 AUX Button 

(fig. 4.4, location 17)

 

Here  you  select the  function of  the AUX button on keyfob 
transmitters  and  wireless  commanders  MCM-140+.  Three 
options are offered: 

Status:

  Pressing  the  AUX  button  will  cause  the  control 

panel’s voice module to announce the system status.  

Instant:

 Pressing the AUX button while the exit delay is in 

progress  will  cause  the  system  to  arm  “instant”  (the  entry 
delay is canceled). 

PGM  /  X-10:

  Pressing  the  AUX  button  will  activate  the 

PGM output or X-10 units (see further programming under 
“DEFINE OUTPUTS”, par. 4.7). 

4.4.18 Jam Detect 

(fig. 4.4, location 18)

 

Here  you  determine  whether  jamming  (interfering  trans- 
missions, on the radio channel used by the system) will be 
detected and reported or not.  
If  a  jam  detection  option  is selected, the system does not 
allow arming under the relevant jamming conditions. 

Jam Detection Options

 

Option 

Detection and Reporting when 

UL (20/20)  

(USA standard) 

There is continuous 20 seconds of 
jamming 

EN (30/60) 

(Europe standard) 

There is an accumulated 30 seconds of 
jamming within 60 sec. 

class 6 (30/60) 

(British standard)

 

Like EN (30/60) but the event will be 
reported only if the jamming duration 
exceeds 5 minutes. 

Disabled 

(no jamming detection and reporting). 

4.4.19 Latchkey 

(fig. 4.4, location 19)

 

Here  you  determine  whether  the  system  can  be armed in 
the  latchkey  mode.  If  the  system  is  armed  this  way,  a 
“latchkey” message will be sent to specific telephones upon 
disarming  by  a  “latchkey  user”  (users  5-8  or  keyfob 
transmitters 5-8). This mode is useful when parents at work 
want  to  be  informed  of  a  child’s  return  from  school.  You 
can record a name for latchkey users.  
The options are: 

Latchkey ON

 and 

Latchkey OFF

.  

In UL installations, this function shall not be used.
