Arming and Disarming
Arming
can
be
defined
as
activating
the
system.
When
the
system
is
armed,
it
monitors
the
zones
that
are
protected
by
the
sensors.
If
a
sensor
detects
an
intrusion,
the
system
generates
an
alarm.
3.1.
System Type - Partitioned /Unpartitioned
Your
system
may
be
defined
in
programming
as
partitioned
or
unpartitioned.
Partitioning
option
allows
you
to
divide
your
home
into
two
sections
(partitions)
each
of
them
being
armed
and
disarmed
independently
of
one
another
and
of
full
arming.
Partitioning
must
be
enabled
in
programming
by
your
installer.
3.2.
Arming Modes: Unpartitioned Systems
Three
arming
modes
are
available:
Full,
Part
and
Perimeter.
These
modes
enable
you
to
arm
your
system
accordingly
to
suit
different
circumstances.
In
unpartitioned
systems,
you
can
only
disarm
all
the
active
arming
modes.
Full Arming
Full arming activates the
entire system. This
arming method is used
when you intend to leave
your home, leaving the
premises empty.
Part Arming
This arming method
enables you to arm a
section of your home while
remaining on a different
part of the premises.
Perimeter Arming
Perimeter arming enables
you to activate the
perimeter zones (the
windows and doors of your
home) enabling you to
move freely within the
protected area.
Certain
sensors,
such
as
smoke
sensors,
are
always
active
regardless
of
system
status.
3.3.
Arming Modes: Partitioned systems
If
partitioning
is
enabled
in
programming,
three
arming
modes
are
available:
Full,
Partition
1,
and
Partition
2.
Partitions
are
entirely
customizable;
each
partition
can
be
armed
and
disarmed
independently.
