Arming With Not-Ready Zones
The zones in your system are not always ready to arm. For ex-
ample, a zone would not be ready to arm if one of its sensors has
been vandalized, needs service, or detects a potential alarm condi-
tion. Zones which are not ready to arm are referred to as not-ready
zones.
Your system has been programmed to automatically handle not-
ready zones in one of three ways described below. Refer to Section
8 to see how your system was programmed.
Force Arming. With Force Arming, the system arms, even if
some not-ready zones exist. All not-ready zones are ignored
(bypassed) and therefore, not protected. Exception: Any faulted
Day Buzzer or Day Bell zones must be manually bypassed be-
fore arming can occur. These are zones that cause a buzzer or
bell to sound if they are faulted while the system is disarmed.
(See Note 1 on page 61.)
Chirp-Alert Arming. With Chirp-Alert Arming, your system does
not arm if a not-ready zone exists. At the end of the exit delay,
your system's sounders chirp. You must re-enter the building
and enter a user code, or an alarm sounds. Then, you must
either correct or manually bypass these zones before the sys-
tem can be armed.
Goof-Proof Arming. With Goof-Proof Arming, the system does
not arm if there are any not-ready
exit zones (doors). Instead,
an alarm sounds at the end of the exit delay. You must re-enter
the building and correct the not-ready zones before arming can
occur.
