Managing Your System Security
Understanding Arming Modes
You can arm the system by multiple scenarios:
Arm Away—Everybody leaving
Arm Stay—People are still active inside (see page 18)
Arm Night—Everybody going to bed (see page 19)
Different arming modes utilize different rules for when sensors are tripped and for Entry/Exit
delays. An
Exit delay
is a short period of time after the system is armed for you to leave the premises
(default 60 seconds). An
Entry delay
is a short period of time after a sensor is tripped at an Entry/Exit
door if the system is armed (default 30 seconds). You must enter a valid keypad code within the
Entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm. Consult with your installer or Customer Care rep to
customize the Entry/Exit delays on your system.
Note:
After the alarm sounds (or does not sound for the Alarm Transmission Delay period starts
(see page 20).
During Armed state and during the Entry Delay period, if the central system loses all connectivity
with your TouchScreen, an alarm is immediately sent to the central monitoring station. This prevents
an intruder from attempting to stop an alarm by destroying the TouchScreen. See
Protection Against
Smash & Grab
on page 28 for more information.
Arm Away Mode
The Arm Away mode is used when everyone is leaving the house. The following rules apply:
Alarm trips immediately if a monitored Perimeter zone (non-entry/exit door or window) is
opened.
Interior motion detectors are armed.
Entry/Exit zones start an Entry Delay
Exit Delay starts when the system is armed
