Security Status Header
The Security Status header displays in the upper left hand of the TouchScreen. It tells you whether
the system is armed or disarmed and other information. Touch this header to arm or disarm the
system.
During an alarm the Security Status header changes to show an Alarm state, such as ―ALARM |
OPEN – FRONT DOOR‖ or ―ALARM | MOTION – SEC ZONE 1‖.
Also, during troubles that would prevent arming (such as a monitored door or window being
opened) an announcement replaces the Arm/Disarm status. If you touch this header at that time, the
TouchScreen presents you will dialog to arm the system with the capability to turn off the problem
security zone.
During the Exit Delay, the header changes to announce ―ARMING IN <X> SECONDS‖ (where
<X> is the number of seconds before the system is armed).
During the Entry Delay, the header changes to announce ―ALARM IN <X> SECONDS‖ (where
<X> is the number of seconds before the system is armed).
System & Zone Trouble Header
The System & Zone Trouble header displays in the upper right hand of the TouchScreen. If only
displays when there is a connectivity (cellular, broadband, etc.) or power problem with the
TouchScreen, when a sensor goes down (such as due to a battery failure), or a sensor is being
tampered with (such as the cover being opened).
When a System & Zone header is displayed, click it to display the Troubles screen listing all current
troubles with TouchScreen and the sensors.
