Understanding Arming Modes

You can arm the system for multiple scenarios:

  Arm Away – Best for leaving your home unattended

  Arm Stay – Ideal for hanging out at home 

  Arm Night—Best for when everyone is in bed

Different arming modes use different rules for when sensors are tripped and for Entry/Exit delays. 
An Exit delay is a short period of time after the system is armed for you to leave the premises. Entry 
delay gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter the premises. You must enter a valid 
keypad code within the Entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.

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.

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 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.

Arm Night mode, is used when everyone is going to bed. 
This mode works the same as Arm Stay except that there is no Entry Delay period. If an entry/exit 
zone is opened, an alarm sounds immediately.
