Instant Stay Arming an Area
Instant stay arming is an option that must be enabled by your installer.
Instant stay arming reduces the exit delay to 1 second, and inputs which normally initiate the entry delay will
instead set off the alarm immediately (i.e. all inputs are treated as '
instant
'). This is commonly used at night while
residents are in bed, so that any intruder entering the building will set off the alarm immediately.
To instant stay arm the area, hold down the
[STAY]
key for 2 seconds, or press the
[STAY]
key a second time
while the area is in exit delay.
Force Arming an Area
Force arming is an option that must be enabled by your installer.
Force arming allows you to arm the system without waiting for all the inputs in the system to close.
Force arming is commonly used when a motion detector is protecting an area that is occupied by a keypad. For
example, if the motion detector has been programmed as a force input, the system will allow you to arm even if
the input is open.
