Instant  Zone

Exterior windows and non-entry doors, or interior protection 

devices, are typically not programmed with delay times. If these 

zones fault while the system is armed, an alarm occurs instantly.

24-Hour  Zone

A 24-hour zone is not turned on or off by arming or disarm ing your 

system.  Some  examples  of  24-hour  zones  are  fire  zones,  panic 

zones, and temperature control zones.

Areas

An area is made up of burglary zones that can be armed or disarmed 

together. The Perimeter area, for example, consists of all the doors 

and windows on the outside of the building. When you arm the 

Perimeter, these zones sound an alarm if tripped.

Central Station Monitoring

Your system can also be programmed to automatically send alarm, 

trouble, and arming and disarming reports to a Central Station. 

Operators at the Central Station can then dispatch the appropriate 

authorities or contact you with the specific event information.

Status

Status displays the system armed or dis armed status at the keypad 

and on the upper right corner of the Main Screen. Alarm or trouble 

con ditions on a zone or a system monitor such as AC or battery 

trouble can also display. There are two types of status information 

available: 

Status List 

and 

Armed Status

.

Status List

The Status List displays on the Keypad screen any alarm or trouble 

condition on a zone and any trouble condition that occurs with 

the AC power or battery power. If your system contains any Panic 

zones, these do not display on the screen for security reasons.

If an alarm occurs on a non-fire, 24-hour zone or a system monitor, 

it remains in the Sta tus List until it re stores. If one or more armed 

burglary zones trips, the last one to trip remains in the Status List. 

The burglary zone alarm remains in the Status List until it is cleared 

by disarming the system. Pressing 

CMD

 allows the next status list 

item to be displayed

Zone  Status

To display the status of a particular zone, Press 

Keypad

 on the 

Carousel Menu to display the Keypad screen. Enter the zone number 

followed by 

CMD

 when the screen displays the 

Status

 List.

Armed  Status

With 

Armed

 status, the screen displays the current armed condition 

of areas within your security system.

The screen displays 

When

HOME SYSTEM ON

The perimeter is armed in a 

Home/Away

 system.

PERIMETER ON

The perimeter is armed in an 

All/Perimeter

 system.

ALL SYSTEM ON

All areas are on.

SLEEP SYSTEM ON

The perimeter and interior areas are on 

but the bedroom area is off.

Exit Error

This is an automatic panel function that occurs if an exit door does 

not close completely after the system is armed.
For example, if the front door is left ajar upon exit and the exit delay 

time expires, the system attempts to arm the front door zone but 

recognizes the open condition. The system sounds the alarm sirens 

and starts the entry delay. If the open condition is not corrected, an 

alarm and exit error is reported to the Central Station.

Exit Error

 allows the Central Station to acknowledge the arming 

error without dispatching the police on a false alarm.
