Arming and Disarming
Arming Functions
Arming:
During arming, the system verifies that all doors, windows,
and other protection devices to be armed are in normal condition.
If everything is normal, the system arms. If there is a problem on
one or more burglary zones, the Keypad screen displays the problem
and allows you to correct the problem or bypass those zones.
If the problem can be corrected by closing a door or window, do
not bypass the zone. Instead, correct the problem and try arming
again. If the problem cannot be corrected, you can bypass the zone
or wait until the zone can be repaired by a service technician. A
bypassed zone is ignored by the system during the armed period.
In some cases the Keypad screen might display
FRONT DOOR -
FAULT
. The screen may then display
PRIORITY ZONE
, which is a
zone that cannot be bypassed. The problem on the zone must be
corrected before the system can be armed.
After making your arming selection, the Keypad screen displays any
zones that are currently bypassed. These zones remain bypassed
until the system is armed and then disarmed. Any 24-hour zones in
a faulted condition also display.
Armed Message:
After completing all bypasses or correcting zone
faults, the areas selected are armed.
For All/Perimeter systems the Keypad
screen briefly displays
ALL
SYSTEM ON
if all areas in the system are arming or
PERIMETER ON
if only selected areas are arming.
For Home/Away or Home/Sleep/Away systems the Keypad screen
displays
ALL SYSTEM ON
if all areas in the system are arming,
HOME
SYSTEM ON
or
SLEEP SYSTEM ON
if only selected areas are arming.
How Your System Operates
Your system has been programmed to operate in one of three ways:
All/Perimeter
,
Home/Sleep/Away, or Area
.
•
All/Perimeter
— your burglary protection is divided into two
areas:
Interior
and
Perimeter
.
All
arms both the
Perimeter
and the
Interior
of the system.
You want to arm both of these areas when leaving the building
and no one is left inside.
Perimeter
arming is for when you are staying inside but want
the comfort of knowing the exterior doors and windows are
armed. Perimeter arming allows you to move freely about
inside without setting off any interior alarms.
•
Home/Sleep/Away
— Your burglary protection is divided into two
or three areas: Perimeter, Interior, and Bedrooms.
Home (Perimeter)
arming is for when you are staying inside
but want the comfort of knowing the exterior doors and
windows are armed.
Sleep (Perimeter
and
Interior)
arms all areas except those
near bedrooms and nighttime areas.
Away (Perimeter, Interior,
and
Bedrooms)
arms all three
areas for when you leave the building and no one is left
inside.
• Area
— your burglary protection can be divided into as many
areas as your control panel supports. Each area can have a custom
name, be turned on or off independently of other areas, and limit
access to only those with proper authority.
Regardless of programming, much of the operation is similar.
Throughout this guide, any differences between the systems are
noted for your convenience.
