Arming and Disarming
With the VPM5580TC, you can use a telephone to arm your system/partition (so that
alarms, or other devices, will be activated when a zone on your premises is breached,
such as when an Entry-Exit Door is opened). This can be done either locally or remotely.
Similarly, you can use a telephone to disarm the system/partition.
3.1
Away Arming
NOTE: When arming your system/partition from a remote telephone, the system/
partition will automatically be armed in Stay mode. (See section 3.2, below.)
Access your system (Section 2—Accessing Your Security System) and select a partition
(Section 2.3—Accessing Partitions).
If the system/partition is ready to be armed, the system will prompt:
“{System} is OFF.
“{System} is OFF.
“{System} is OFF.
“{System} is OFF.
“{System} is OFF.
To turn ON, enter your access code.”
To turn ON, enter your access code.”
To turn ON, enter your access code.”
To turn ON, enter your access code.”
To turn ON, enter your access code.”
Enter your [access code]. The system will then announce:
“Turning {System} ON. Exit Delay in progress.
“Turning {System} ON. Exit Delay in progress.
“Turning {System} ON. Exit Delay in progress.
“Turning {System} ON. Exit Delay in progress.
“Turning {System} ON. Exit Delay in progress.
To turn OFF, enter your access code.”
To turn OFF, enter your access code.”
To turn OFF, enter your access code.”
To turn OFF, enter your access code.”
To turn OFF, enter your access code.”
If the system/partition is not ready to be armed, the system will prompt:
“{System} is open. {Zone XX}
“{System} is open. {Zone XX}
“{System} is open. {Zone XX}
“{System} is open. {Zone XX}
“{System} is open. {Zone XX}
Secure before turning ON.”
Secure before turning ON.”
Secure before turning ON.”
Secure before turning ON.”
Secure before turning ON.”
When the
“Secure before turning on”
message is heard, ensure that any breached zones
on the system/partition are secure (e.g. by closing any open doors that the system/partition
monitors) before trying to arm the partition.
NOTE: Depending on the model of control panel you have, you may be able to toggle
Stay/Away zones on or off after your system has been armed. See your system's
Instruction Manual for more information.
3.2
Stay Arming
Stay Arming allows you to arm the system/partition and remain on the premises. When a
system is stay armed, certain zones (Stay/Away zones) will not be armed, so that you can
move freely in certain areas of the premises. Your installer should tell you which zones are
Stay/Away zones. Stay Arming also cancels the Entry Delay (see the Instruction Manual of
your control panel) on the Entry-Exit Doors so that an alarm will sound
immediately if the Entry-
Exit Door is opened.
When the system prompts:
“{System} is OFF.
“{System} is OFF.
“{System} is OFF.
“{System} is OFF.
“{System} is OFF.
To turn ON, enter your access code.”
To turn ON, enter your access code.”
To turn ON, enter your access code.”

“To turn the system ON without Entry Delay, press [9],”
“To turn the system ON without Entry Delay, press [9],”
“To turn the system ON without Entry Delay, press [9],”

“Enter your access code.”
“Enter your access code.”
“Enter your access code.”
“Enter your access code.”
Enter your [access code]. The system announces:
