Please take the time to read and familiarize yourself with the terms used throughout this manual.
Arm or Arm away
-
The entire system or a partition is completely armed and secured.
Arm home 1 or 2
-
Two home modes are available. This allows for the system to be armed with certain
zones being omitted that have been decided on by you, thus allowing free
movement within the premises while the perimeter is armed. Normal entry
procedures do apply.
Arm home instant
-
As above except that all entry and exit points are now instant.
Armed cycle
-
The period for which the alarm system or partition is armed.
Auto arm -
The system will automatically arm at pre-programmed times of the day, each day if
the system is disarmed. The system will not auto-disarm. Auto arm timers are user
enabled and selected.
Bypass

A zone or zones are temporarily removed from the system or partition for one
armed cycle. When the system or partition is disarmed, all bypassing is
automatically removed.
Chime

A keypad buzzer annunciation for 1 second when a zone is violated in the disarmed
condition.

light switching, etc. This code is recorded in the historic log.
