ARM/DISARM Button
When your system is disarmed, the ARM button appears on the Security Bar. To arm the system, touch
ARM.
The ARM button allows you to arm your entire system when you are leaving the house or only your doors
and windows when you are staying home. When you touch ARM, the Arm Options appear.
Depending on which security panel you have and which options are enabled, one or more of the
following options might appear on this screen:
Arm Away
Any triggered security-related sensor (including interior motion detectors and interior doors) results
in an alarm and notifies the appropriate authority.
Note:
If you select this option on the touch screen but the system does not detect an
entry/exit door being opened and closed afterwards, the security panel arms only
doors and windows.
Arm Stay
Only events associated with your exterior doors and windows trigger an alarm. This mode is useful
when someone is at home but wants the system to be armed. The system ignores interior sensors in
this mode.
Note:
The touch screen does not currently allow arming to the Arm Night option, which is
available on some security panels. However, if you set Arm Night on the security panel
keypad, the touch screen indicates that the system is in the Armed Night state.
Entry Delay
or
Entry/Exit Delay
Note:
This option is not available with all security panels.
If this option is available and turned on, the security system allows a prescribed amount of time for
you to:
Enter the access code after you open the entry door.
A keypad appears and displays the number of seconds you have remaining to enter the
access code before the security panel sounds an alarm.
Open, walk out, and close the door when exiting.
A count-down timer appears on the system icon, indicating how much time you have left to
exit the premises. At the end of that time, the system is armed, and if anyone opens a door or
window or triggers a motion sensor, the security panel sounds an alarm.
If this option is available and turned off, there is no delay. The alarm sounds as soon as the
entry/exit door opens.
Note:
The only time you should turn off the entry delay is when you are staying in the house
or using a button remote, such as a key fob.
