Turning The System On
IS THE SYSTEM READY?
You can turn the burglar portion of your security system on and off. Before you
can turn the system on, it must be “ready.” If you have a protected door open, or
someone is moving in view of a motion detector, the system will not display
“READY.”
The system is ready if the READY light is on or if the display shows:
SYSTEM READY
TO TURN THE SYSTEM ON AND LEAVE
Enter your 4-digit user code.
The System On (ARM) light will go on or the display will show:
ON: AWAY ........
Exit through a door designated by your installer as an exit/entry door. You
must leave within the exit time programmed by your installer. Refer to the
reference sheet for the time that has been set for your system.
WHEN THE SYSTEM IS NOT READY
If the system is not ready to be armed, the READY light will be off and the
zone lights will show which zone or zones are not ready. The following
conditions will be indicated by the zone lights or described on the display:
Fast Blink ....................................... Alarm
Slow Blink/Low Intensity .......... Bypass
Slow Pulse ...................................... Trouble
Solid On ........................................... Not Ready
Example: If the READY light is not lit and the Zone 1 light is solid on, an
alarm sensor on Zone 1 is faulted. This might mean that a door is open or
someone is walking in view of a motion sensor. Check all sensors on Zone 1 and
resolve the problem. When all sensors are restored, the READY light will come
on and the zone light will go out. In this example, the display shows:
SYSTEM NOT READY
and
NOT RDY
ZONE 1
