Stay
•
Security code + [3] (STAY)
•
Causes: three beeps, armed STAY displayed, ARMED indicator lights
•
Arms perimeter sensors, but interior sensors are left disarmed.
•
Use when you want to arm the system with persons staying inside (or if you have pets
that are moving throughout the premises).
•
Alarm sounds if any protected window or non-entry/exit door is opened.
•
Persons entering later can enter through an entry/exit door, but they must disarm the
system within the
entry
delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.
Night-Stay
•
Security code + [3] + [3]
(Internal)
•
Causes: three beeps, NIGHT-STAY displayed, ARMED indicator lights
•
Same as Stay mode, plus pre-selected interior sensors, while other interior sensors
are left disarmed.
•
Use Night-Stay (internal) mode to provide increased security while staying inside.
•
Persons entering later can use an entry/exit door but they must disarm the system
and
must not violate any of the programmed interior zones to avoid sounding an
alarm.
•
IMPORTANT:
When Night-Stay mode is on, the selected interior zones are armed
and cause an alarm if anyone enters those areas (e.g., waking in the middle of the
night). To avoid sounding an alarm, you must disarm the system before any activity
takes place in those zones.
Instant
•
Security code + [7] (INSTANT)
•
Causes: three beeps, armed INSTANT displayed, ARMED indicator lights

Arms same as Stay mode but with entry delay off.
•
Use when staying inside and do not expect anyone to use an entry/exit door.
•
An alarm sounds immediately if any protected perimeter window or any door is
opened, including entry/exit doors.
•
IMPORTANT:
Arming in this mode greatly increases the chance of false alarms. Use
extreme care in selecting this mode of arming.

entry
delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.
