General Arming Operation
Your system has been programmed to operate in one of three
modes: Area Arming, All/Perimeter, or Home/Away.
•
Area Arming - Your burglary protection is divided into areas. Each
area has a custom name, can be turned on or off independent of
other areas, and can have different schedules and authorized users.
• All/Perimeter - Your burglary protection is divided into two areas,
Interior and Perimeter. You can turn on the just the Perimeter
protection while inside for security or turn on both as you leave.
• Home/Away - Perimeter, Interior, and a Bedrooms area you can
leave turned off at night while you're sleeping.
Regardless of how your system has been programmed, much of the
operation is similar. Throughout this guide, any differences between
the systems are noted for your convenience.
Arming Functions
After making your arming selection, the keypad displays any zones
that are currently bypassed. These zones remain bypassed until the
system is armed and then disarmed. Any 24 hour zones in a bad
condition are also displayed.
Before arming, the system verifies that all doors, windows, and other
protection devices to be armed are in a normal condition.
If everything is okay, the system arms. If there is a problem on one
or more burglary zones the system cannot arm until the problem is
corrected. If the problem is simply an open door or window, correct
the problem and try arming again.
Introduction
If the problem cannot be corrected, you can force arm or bypass the
zone or wait until the zone can be repaired by a service technician.
A force armed zone is ignored by the system until it restores to
normal. A bypassed zone is ignored by the system during the entire
armed period. A zone remains bypassed until the system is disarmed.
In some cases, you might see the keypad display FRONT DOOR
BAD *. The asterisk next to BAD means that the zone is a priority
zone, which cannot be bypassed. The problem on the zone must be
corrected before the system can be armed.
Armed Message: After all bypassing is completed or zone faults
corrected, the keypad briefly displays ALL SYSTEM ON if all areas
in the system are arming and SYSTEM ON if only selected areas are
arming. The keypad then displays the exit delay time as it counts
down. When the exit delay time expires, all disarmed zones are
armed.
If your system uses a keyswitch to arm an area, the exit delay time
is NOT shown on the keypad display.
ONE MOMENT . . . Message: If your system is monitored, it may be
programmed to wait for the transmission of an arming report to the
central station before displaying the armed message. See Arming
Report below. This is to verify your phone lines are working properly.
While the system is waiting for the transmission, the display reads
ONE MOMENT.... If the report is received, the keypad displays the
armed message. If the report is not received, the keypad displays
LOCAL ALARM ONLY before displaying the armed message.
Arming Report: Your system can be programmed to send arming
or zone bypassing reports to a central station. This feature is
optional and can be programmed for you at any time.
