Using the Security System
Security System Operation
You can arm your system in one of three arming modes: Away, Stay, and Night. The following table
lists the three different arming modes and the results of each.
Arming Mode FUNCTION
AWAY
Use when no one is staying on the premises. When armed in AWAY , the system
sounds an alarm if a protected door or window is opened, or if any movement is
detected inside the premises.
Important: On Commercial systems, “Away Auto Stay” mode is shown as “Away”
mode (with all zones monitored). However, some interior zones may not be armed.
STAY
Use when you are staying home, but might expect someone to use the entrance
door later.
When armed in
STAY , the system sounds an alarm if a protected door or window is
opened, but you may otherwise move freely throughout the premises.
NIGHT
Use when you are staying home and do not expect anyone to use the entrance door.
Your installer may have configured NIGHT Mode differently; have the installer
describe the actual settings of this mode.
Notes:
•
The Annunciate Status Icon ( ) indicates the Voice feature. Press the Annunciate Status icon to
hear system status. Wait 3 seconds and press again to hear Zone Faults or Trouble conditions.
Status will annunciate even if Voice mode and Chime mode are disabled. Note that the Voice
feature must be enabled (by the installer) for this icon to function correctly during an alarm
condition.
•
There is a communicator delay of 30 seconds. This delay will prevent a report to the central station
if the control panel is disarmed within 30 seconds after an intrusion alarm is triggered. This delay
can be removed, or it can be increased up to 45 seconds at the option of the user by consulting with
the installer. Note that emergency, carbon monoxide, and fire-type alarms are normally reported
without delay.
How to Arm the System
Arming the system in any mode is performed in the same way, as described below.
Note: Close all perimeter windows and doors before arming and make sure the system is “Ready to
Arm.” Or, bypass zones you want left open to make the system Ready to Arm.
From the “Home” screen, press the
SECURITY
icon. You can arm your system in one of three
arming modes:
Away
,
Stay
, and
Night
. Press the selected arming icon. A text
message appears stating which zones are arming and whether or not there is an entry delay. The
screen displays the exit delay countdown. When exit delay time expires, the screen displays "Armed."
Notes:
1. If Quick Arm is Not enabled in your system, a message to enter your User Code is received.
2. When the system is armed for Stay, Night Stay and Instant mode, Tuxedo beeps 3 times.
