When to arm
You arm your premises, or areas in it, when they are unoccupied. Then if an unwanted
event occurs, such as someone forcing a door open, this sets off the alarm.
The time limit when arming
Once you have armed the system, you must leave the area within a preset time as
otherwise you will set off the alarm. The manager of the alarm system will need to inform
everyone about this time limit.
Make sure you know which route to take when leaving the premises.
When you cannot arm/disarm
You might not be able to arm/disarm specific areas in the premises because:
•
Your keypad has been programmed to arm/disarm specific areas in the premises
only. Make sure you know which keypad to use if there is more than one present in
the premises.
•
Your PIN code has been programmed to arm/disarm specific areas only of the
premises. Make sure you know which areas you can arm/disarm.
•
You cannot arm/disarm an area if it has a zone device not properly closed, such as
the magnetic contacts on a door or window. So, before arming, make sure that all
doors and windows are properly closed. If a zone is open when you arm, the keypad
will beep quickly seven times and you will get the message “Active On ….”.

your PIN.
•
Whether the areas to be armed are normal (see
Active Zones
on page 14 for
further information).
Areas not displayed:
If your system has not been programmed to display the areas assigned to your PIN
code, any of those areas that were disarmed are now automatically armed (provided
all zones were normal).
The display returns to that shown in step 1.
