Now let’s focus on the first mode for arming your system. The first mode is called
AWAY
in
this mode every device will be turned on and is meant to be used when no one will be in the house after
the system is armed. Certain devices such as the door and motion sensors can be on delay. The delay
time will be set up between you and the installer. There are multiple ways to arm your system for away
the first way is to push and hold the "
AWAY
" shortcut key on the keypad. The second way is to push
and hold the locked lock button
located on your key fob. Once you arm the system the keypad
will read "
ARMED
AWAY
PLEASE
EXIT
NOW
" and will be beeping this is letting you know that
once exit out of your delay door and the delay time has run out the system will be armed.
The second mode for arming your system is known as
STAY
. Stay is for people who have
motion sensors installed. If you
DO
NOT
have motion sensors installed the only action stay does for
you is a silent count down for the alarm to turn on as normal. If you
DO
have motion sensors installed
when you arm for stay everything
BUT
the motion sensors will be armed. To reiterate when armed in
STAY
your motion sensors
WILL
NOT
be on so you can freely move around the house and still be
protected by other devices(i.e. glassbreaks, door/window switches) To arm in
STAY
mode push and
hold the shortcut button on your keypad that is marked
STAY
. The second way to arm in stay mode is to
push and hold the button on your keyfob that has a little man inside a house.
Once you have
armed the system the keypad will read "
ARMED
STAY
PLEASE
EXIT
NOW
" (You do not have to
exit this is just in case you hit the wrong button when you are leaving the installer should explain this to
you)
Turning your system OFF
Turning your system off or disarming the system, as it is called, is different than arming the
system when done at the keypad. When you disarm the system from the keypad you have to put in your
four (4) digit code followed by 1 the 1 button says
OFF
. (_ _ _ _ +1) Another way to disarm your
system is to push and hold the unlocked lock button
located on the keyfob.
EMERGENCY
If you ever have an emergency where you need the police to be called you have a couple of
different options. If you are able to make it to the keypad there will be a shortcut button that will read
PANIC
push and hold this button and a silent alarm will be sent out. If you have your keyfob and are
within range of the system you can push and hold the red star
and a silent alarm will be sent out.
Either of these options will work if the alarm system is disarmed. Silent alarms are treated just like any
other alarm by your alarm panel and Emergency 24. You should get a call from Emergency24 and then
you follow the necessary procedure to either cancel or accept the alarm.
