UNDERSTANDING THE LIGHTS 

Armed Light 

The  armed light is “on” when the system is armed.  The armed light is “off” 
when it is disarmed.  The armed light will flash when there has been an alarm 
during the previous arm cycle. 

Bypass Light 

The  bypass light is “on” when any zone is bypassed. The zone(s) that is 
bypassed will also be illuminated.  If the bypass light is “off”, no zones are 
bypassed. 

Cancel Light 

The  cancel light will flash during an abort delay time.  If a code is entered 
followed by the [CANCEL] key while this light is flashing, all abortable reports 
will stop the communication process. Note: The abort feature must be 
enabled. Entering a code followed by the [CANCEL] key during or after an 
alarm report to the central station will cause the cancel light to come on. It will 
stay on until the central station has received the cancel report. Note: The 
cancel feature must be enabled. No additional keypad tones will be emitted. 

Chime Light 

The chime light is “on” when the chime feature is “on”;  “off” otherwise. 

Exit Light 

The exit light is “on” during the exit delay. During the last 10 seconds of the exit 
delay, the exit light will flash rapidly and the keypads will beep rapidly as a 
warning to the user that the exit time is about to expire. (The user may want to 
disarm the system if the exit light is flashing in order to prevent an alarm. The 
user may then re-arm the system and exit before the delay expires.) 

Fire Light 

A steady fire light means a fire zone has been faulted. A rapidly flashing fire 
light means that a fire zone is in a trouble condition. 

Instant Light 

The instant light is “on” when there is no delay on your entry/exit door(s). Any 
time the instant light is “on” and the exit delay has expired, the opening 
of an entry/exit door will produce an immediate alarm. The instant light can 
be toggled on or off by pressing the [Stay] key while the system is armed. 
When the instant light is “off”, the entry/exit door(s) is delayed.  

Power Light 

The power light is on if the primary power is on. The power light will flash if the 
system has a low battery condition. 

Ready Light 

The ready light is “on” when the system is ready to arm and “flashes” if ready to 
force arm. The ready light is off when the system is not ready to arm because 
of a zone(s) being faulted.
