Arm Stay Mode
The Arm Stay mode is used to arm the system when there are still 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
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
For the Arm Away mode, the Entry/Exit Delay, the following rules apply:
When an entry/exit zone is opened the Entry Delay period sounds an audible beep each
second. The system beeps twice per second in the last 10 seconds of the Entry Delay period.
The keypad code must be entered during this period to avoid sounding an alarm.
When the system is armed, the Exit Delay period starts, BUT there is no audible beep during
the Exit Delay period (as there is in Arm Away). The Exit Delay period is the time between
the system being armed and the alarms actually being activated. This gives the user time to
leave through an entry/exit security zone.
The Exit Delay period is twice as long as for the Arm Away mode, and there is no audible
alert during the countdown.
A numerical countdown timer indicates how much time remains in the Exit Delay period.
If an entry/exit zone is faulted, restored and then faulted again prior to the end of the exit
delay then the Exit Delay is restarted. This only occurs once.
After Exit Delay, the Security Status header is relabeled
Armed Stay
and sounds 3 short
beeps.
