Managing Your System Security
29
In the Armed state and during the Entry Delay period, if the central system loses all connectivity with
your TouchScreen, an alarm is immediately sent to the central monitoring station. This prevents an
intruder from attempting to stop an alarm by destroying the TouchScreen. See
Protection Against Smash & Grab Attacks" on page 30
for more information.
Arm Away Mode
The Arm Away mode is used when everyone is leaving the house. The following rules apply:
Alarm trips immediately if a monitored Perimeter zone (non-entry/exit door or window) is opened.
Interior motion detectors are armed.
Entry/Exit zones start an Entry Delay.
Exit Delay starts when the system is armed.
For the Arm Away mode, the following Entry/Exit Delay rules apply:
When armed, the system audibly beeps once per second announcing that the system is in the Exit
Delay period. During the last 10 seconds of the Exit Delay state, the system audibly fast beeps (two
beeps per second).
A numerical countdown timer on the TouchScreen indicates how much time remains in the Exit
Delay.
If an entry/exit zone is faulted, restored and then faulted again prior to the end of the exit delay
then the Exit Delay is restarted. This only occurs once.
If no Entry/Exit Zone opens and closes during the Exit Delay, the Arming Mode reverts to Armed
Stay.
After Exit Delay, the Security Status header is relabeled Armed Away and sounds 2 short beeps.
If an Entry/Exit zone is opened the Entry Delay period starts with an audible beep each second.
The system beeps twice per second in the last 10 seconds of the Entry Delay period. The keypad
code must be entered during this period to avoid sounding an alarm. During the Entry Delay
period, the motion detectors will not log events.
Arm Stay Mode
The Arm Stay mode is used to arm the system when there are people in the premises. The following rules
apply:
Alarm trips immediately if a monitored Perimeter zone (non-entry/exit door or window) is opened.
Interior motion detectors are not armed.
Entry/Exit zones start an Entry Delay.
Exit Delay starts when the system is armed.
Exit Delay does not beep and is twice the length of Alarm Away mode.
