Home Security Touchscreen HSS101
This Trouble Arming warning displays a list of problems (trouble list) that prevent the arming
operation from finishing. If you correct all of the problems on the trouble list such as closing
the front window, this warning disappears, and the arming action finishes. If you want to
bypass the problem and arm the system anyway, touch
ARM
ANYWAY
.
Note:
Low battery problems appear in the trouble list, but the system does not
bypass these problems. A sensor with a low battery can still trigger an alarm.
In general, you can bypass sensors only when they are active and capable of generating an
alarm. For 24-hour sensors, this is all the time. For exterior doors and windows, this is when
the system is armed. For interior doors and interior motion sensors, this is only when the
system is armed to Arm Away or Arm All. When you select Arm Anyway, you automatically
bypass all of the sensors in the trouble list. This is considered an indirect bypass.
CAUTION:
When you bypass the problem and arm the system with one or more
sensors open, those sensors are temporarily ignored. In the previous
example, if you touch Arm Anyway, anyone can open or close the front
window while the system is armed without setting off an alarm of any kind.
Be very cautious if you ever decide to use this feature, because it
essentially defeats the purpose of your security system. If you do nothing
when this screen displays, after 4 minutes, the Home Security
Touchscreen
arms the system anyway. This means that disregarding this
message and doing nothing is the same as touching Arm Anyway.
Subdisarm the System
If you have 24-hour protection sensors on certain special items, such as a gun cabinet or a
wall safe, those sensors remain armed, even when the rest of the system is disarmed. When
you configure the system that way, disarming the system disarms everything except those
special items. To access those special items, you have to subdisarm the system.
Subdisarming disarms the 24-hour protection sensors as well as all other sensors.
This feature is not available on some Security panels. Instead, you bypass certain sensors
after you disarm the system. See
Sensors Screen
on page
16.
Note:
Environmental sensors, such as smoke and freeze sensors, remain
active at all times.
