Arming and disarming your system
Since your security needs may vary throughout the day, this system was designed
with the following three arming levels:
• Level 1 (disarmed). Intrusion detection off. Smoke, heat, and environmental
sensors remain active.
• Level 2 (doors and windows). Perimeter protection on. Interior sensors are not
active.
• Level 3 (motions, doors and windows). All perimeter and interior sensors are
active.
By arming your system to a particular level, only those sensors programmed to
detect in that arming level report alarm conditions to the panel. No matter which
level your system is in, all sensors programmed to be active 24 hours a day continue
to report alarm conditions. These sensors include smoke detectors, panic buttons,
and environmental sensors.
Arming level 1
Use arming level 1 (disarmed) to turn off intrusion/burglary protection for your system
when security is not a concern. Environmental sensors (smoke, heat, carbon
monoxide) remain active. Indoor motion sensors and perimeter sensors such as
doors and windows are inactive.
Other situations for level 1 arming include:
• Disarm the system when you enter the armed premises through a designated
delay door.
• Disarm the system before opening a window or door to prevent an alarm.
• Disarm the system to turn off the sirens when an alarm condition occurs.
To disarm to level 1 using the panel keypad:
1. Press Disarm once.
The panel displays
Enter Code to DISARM
.
2. Enter your access code.
The panel displays the current time and the system sounds one beep.
