Managing Sensors
You cannot add or delete the sensors in your security system, but you can control how they appear in
reports and tool in your TouchScreen and the Subscriber Portal.
Disable a Sensor
You can turn a zone off, that is, have the zone not be monitored when the system is armed. This is
useful during periods when a sensor is being repaired. You can only turn a zone off when the system
is disarmed.
The system continues to log the activity of zones that are turned off in the Event History (see
Viewing Your Zone Event History
on page 30).
To turn zones off:
1.
Disarm the system (see
Arming and Disarming
and on page 20)
2.
Touch the Security icon on the Home screen (see page 11).
The Dashboard is displayed. One of your camera views is displayed. Touch Next Camera to see the view from a
different Camera.
3.
Touch the Turn Zone Off button for the zone to turn off the zone.
4.
Touch the Turn Zone On button for the zone to be monitored for alarms.
The buttons are toggled between Turn Zone On and Turn Zone Off as you touch them.
If some zones are turned off, the Security Status header reports this when the system is
disarmed.
