Stay/Instant Arming
To arm: Press the [Instant] key followed by the [Stay] key and a 4-digit user code.
The Stay/Instant mode arms the system with the characteristics of both the Instant and Stay
modes. The system is armed with the interior zones bypassed and the delay zones instant.
LED keypads will have the ARM, Stay, and Instant LEDs lit.
NOTE: This option is enabled in programming question 08, location 3.
Disarming
To disarm: Press any valid 4-digit user code. The ARM LED goes out.
If an alarm condition exists or occurred while the system was armed, the zone LED(s) and
the READY LED blink rapidly. This Alarm Memory condition can be cleared by entering a
valid user code or using the [*] key, if programmed.
Reset
After an alarm occurs, the system enters Alarm Memory mode either after bell timeout or by
a user entering a valid user code silencing the bell and keypad buzzer. The alarm memory
and communications failure can be cleared by entering a valid user code. If a fire
alarm occurs, then clearing Alarm Memory resets the smoke detectors for approximately 8
seconds.
In addition, you can use the [*] key to act as a fire reset.
Bypass
Bypassing is performed to temporarily exclude zones that are faulty or not ready from
activating the system.
If Quick Bypass is not enabled, then press the [Bypass] key followed by any valid 4-digit user
code followed a number from 1 to 8, which represents the zone to be bypassed.
Example: To bypass Zone 2 (assuming a user code of 1234), press:
[Bypass] [1] [2] [3] [4] [2]
Subsequent Bypasses
Can be made by pressing the [Bypass] key and then pressing another zone number within a
10-second period. After this 10-second period, the entire command, including the user code,
must be entered.
After a successful bypass, an acknowledge beep sounds at the keypad sounder, and the
respective zone LED blinks slowly.
The bypass rules are:
•
Fire zones cannot be bypassed.
•
24-hour zones can be bypassed; however, they cannot be unbypassed if they are violated.
•
Zones can only be bypassed while the system is disarmed, at which time visual indication
is displayed.
•
Bypass signals are transmitted to the central station UPON ARMING if a Bypass code
has been programmed.
Zones that are bypassed are not protected when the system is armed.
