Arming & Disarming the Alarm System
Checking if the System is Ready to Arm
To help prevent faults during arming, a Ready light has
been provided on each keypad. The Ready light works as
follows:
•
If the Ready light is on steady then the alarm system is
ready to be armed.
•
If the Ready light is flashing then the alarm system has
bypassed zones and/or Force Armable zones that are
violated, check these zones before proceeding.
•
If the Ready light is off then one or more zones are
violated, either secure or bypass these zones before
proceeding. The keypads will display the zones that are
violated:

Zone 01 Active

Active zones are scrolled
in sequence on LCD keypads
Active zones are indicated by
the relevant zone lights on
LED Keypads
"
If any unbypassed zones that are not enabled for
“Force Arming” are violated at the end of the exit
delay this is termed an exit error and the alarm system
will go into fail set state (internal alarm). If
programmed by the installer the external bell will also
sound. Enter a valid user Access code to silence this
alarm.
A zone will only be armed when ALL associated
partitions are armed but will be disarmed when ANY
associated partition is disarmed.
Away Arming
The Away arming mode is normally used when leaving the
premises. When the system is armed in this mode all
detection zones assigned to your partition(s) will be armed.
The Ready light must be on steady before the alarm system
can be Away armed.
"
To Away arm the alarm system proceed as follows:
Please Exit....

bypassed. Before Stay arming check the following:

Secure or bypass any perimeter zones that are violated.
•
Ensure no perimeter zones are bypassed
unintentionally.
