You can arm your system in one of three arming modes: Away, Stay, and
Night. The following table lists the three different arming modes and the
results of each.
MODE
NOTES
AWAY
Use when no one is staying on the premises. When armed
in
AWAY
mode, the system sounds an alarm if a protected
door or window is opened, or if any movement is detected
inside the premises.
IMPORTANT:
On certain VISTA-Turbo systems, “Away
Auto Stay” mode is shown as “Away” mode (with all zones
monitored). However, some interior zones may not be
armed. See your Installer.
STAY
Use when you are staying home, but might expect someone
to use the entrance door later.
When armed in
STAY
mode, the system sounds an alarm
if a protected door or window is opened, but you may
otherwise move freely throughout the premises.
NIGHT
Use when you are staying home and do not expect anyone
to use the entrance door.
Your installer may have
configured NIGHT Mode differently; have the installer
describe the actual settings of this mode.
Arm Multi Partition
Use to arm more than one partition, if you are authorized
to do so. Refer to the Arming Multiple partitions section
for details.
Console Mode
This mode emulates a standard alpha keypad. If desired,
you can use this mode to control the security system using
standard keypad commands. Refer to the Console
Emulation Mode section for details.
Show Zones
Use to display the zones programmed in your system.
From this menu you can view faulted zones (zones not
ready to arm) and bypass zones. Refer to the How to
Bypass Zones section for details.
Steps to Arm the System
Arming the system in any mode is performed in the same way.
NOTE
: Close all perimeter windows and doors before arming and make sure
the system is “Ready to Arm.” Or, bypass zones you want left open to make
the system Ready to Arm.
