Keyswitch
Using the Keyswitch
Your system may be equipped with a keyswitch for use when arming and disarming. Red and green lights
on the keyswitch plate indicate the status of your system as follows:
Green Light:
Lights when the system is
disarmed and ready
to be armed (no open zones). If the
system is disarmed and the green light is off, it indicates the system is not ready (one or
more zones are open).
Red Light:
Lights or flashes when system is armed in AWAY or STAY mode. See your installer for
the meanings of the lit red light:
Lit Steady = system armed AWAY or
system armed STAY and exit delay has expired
Flashing = system armed STAY and exit delay timer active
Rapid flashing = an alarm has occurred (memory of alarm).
Before arming, close all perimeter doors and windows.
To arm in the AWAY mode:
Turn the key to the right for 1/2 second and release.
Keypads beep twice and the red indicator lights or
flashes.
To arm in the STAY mode:
Turn the key to the right and hold for longer than 1
second, then release. Keypads beep three times and
the red indicator lights or flashes.
To disarm the system:
Turn the key to the right and release. The red light
turns off
