Burglary Protection
Operating the System
When your system was setup by your installer, wireless sensors were placed to monitor specifi c
doors and windows. The installer selected these doors and windows as likely places where an
unlawful intrusion might occur and could be detected. Each sensor was programmed to have the
system react in a specifi c way.
Some sensor types such as smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, panic buttons, etc. are
always active and can trigger an alarm at any time. Other sensors on protected doors and windows
are part of the burglary protection part of the system, and can be turned on or off. Turning on the
burglary protection part of the security system is called
“Arming the System”
. The burglary
protection part of the system can be armed in two modes: Stay Mode or Away Mode.
Refer to the fl oor plan below. It shows a typical residential installation and the various types of
wireless sensors and their function.
