SENSOR STATUS
The security system constantly monitors all of the sensors attached to the protected doors
and windows in your home or business. The Control Panel knows if each door or window with
sensors is open or closed. The open or closed condition of the protected doors and windows is
called the sensor status .
For maximum security, all the doors and windows on your premises should be closed when
you leave the building. In some cases, such as when using the security system when you stay
at home, you may want to leave some doors or windows open. The system recognizes
bypasses to resolve the open doors or windows . See "Bypassing/Un ‐ Bypassing Sensors" on
page 10.
NOTE: Before you can arm the system, you must close or bypass all doors and windows
with sensors.
CHECKING FOR CLOSED SENSORS
In most cases, you will be arming the security system with all of the sensor ‐ protected doors
and windows closed. The Control Panel provides easy ways to verify that all the sensor ‐
protected doors and windows are closed before arming the system:
• The Home button lights green when all perimeter sensors are closed. The Home
button is not lit if any perimeter sensor is open. Open interior sensors do not change this
indication.
• The Security button on the display’s Home screen lights green when all perimeter sensors
are closed. The Security button is lit orange if any perimeter sensor is open. Open interior
sensors do not change this indication .
• The Arm button on the display’s Security screen and Menu screen lights green when all
perimeter sensors are closed. If any interior sensors are open (or when any motion
detector is triggered), a house icon is displayed on the status bar. The Arm button is lit
orange if any perimeter sensor is open.
