RB6741-Z Touchscreen Security System User Manual
Arm Stay Mode
Arm Stay mode is used to arm the system when there are people in the premises. The
following rules apply:
Alarm trips immediately if a monitored Perimeter zone (non-entry/exit door or window) is
opened.
Interior motion detectors are not armed.
Entry/Exit zones start an Entry Delay.
Exit Delay starts when the system is armed.
Exit Delay does not beep and is twice the length of Alarm Away mode.
Arm Night Mode
Arm Night mode is used when everyone is going to bed.
This mode works the same as Arm Stay mode, except there is no Entry Delay period. If an
entry/exit zone is opened, an alarm sounds immediately.
Note:
There is an Exit Delay period that works the same as in Arm Stay mode.
Understanding Your Protection Against Smash-and-Grab
Attacks
Your security system communicates continuously (via broadband and cellular) with the
monitoring servers. There is always the possibility that an intruder will attempt to defeat your
security system by breaking in to the premises and destroying the Touchscreen. But this is
the most futile method they could use. Central monitoring contacts the authorities if the
Touchscreen does not send an alarm or disarm notification after an Entry Delay.
The system detects a Smash-and-Grab event when it receives an Entry Delay event from a
Touchscreen but does not receive an associated Alarm event or Disarm event within the
configured window.
Mere connectivity loss during the Entry Delay period does not trigger a Smash-and-Grab as
long as the Disarm or Alarm event was received by the server. Finally, it does not matter
whether the Touchscreen has connectivity to the server only over the broadband or cellular
channel.
