THIS INFORMATION IS TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE MANUAL FOR THIS ALARM SYSTEM.
Arming the System
Arming from an LED Keypad:
If the Ready light is ON, the system is ready for arming. If the Ready light is OFF, check to see that all doors and windows are closed and that motion is stopped in areas covered by motion detectors. The system cannot be armed unless the Ready light is ON indicating that all zones are closed and the system is in the Ready state.
Enter your access code. As each digit is entered, the keypad sounder will beep. If the access code was entered incorrectly, the keypad buzzer will sound steadily for two seconds. If this occurs, press the [#] key and re-enter your access code. If the correct access code is entered, the keypad sounder will beep quickly and the Armed light will come ON. Exit the premises through the door indicated by
your installer as the Exit/Entry door.
The panel will provide an exit delay period, indicated by keypad beeps, for you to exit the premises without causing an alarm. At the end of the exit delay period, the Ready light will turn OFF and the system will be armed. The exit delay time can be changed by your installer.
Arming from an LCD Keypad:
When this message appears, “Secure System Before Arming<>”, one or more zones are not secured. To secure the system, close all doors and windows and cease all motion in areas covered by motion detectors.
When this message appears, “Enter Code to Arm System < >”, use the arrow (< >) keys to verify that the system is clear of troubles and that no zones are bypassed unintentionally (see “Viewing Trouble Conditions” on page 12 and “Zone Bypassing” on page 11).
If this display is showing, “Enter Code to Arm System”, the system is in the Ready state and may be fully armed. To arm the system, enter your access code. Once the correct access code has been entered, the display will read, “Exit Delay in Progress”. The panel will provide an exit delay period, also indicated by keypad beeps, for you to exit the premises without causing an alarm. Exit through the door indicated by your installer as the Exit/Entry door.
The display will read, “Enter Code to Disarm System”, once the exit delay expires and the system is fully armed.
If this message appears, “* WARNING * Bypass Active”, be aware of which zones are bypassed and why (see “Zone Bypassing” on page 11). NOTE: If you arm the system with a zone bypassed or with a trouble present, your security protection is reduced.
Away Arming
Arming the system in the Away mode will have all interior zones and perimeter zones active. If motion is detected in the interior zones, or if one of the perimeter zones is violated, the alarm sequence will begin. To arm in the Away mode, enter your access code and exit the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door. The system will recognize that occupants have left the premises. Once the exit delay expires, the system will be fully armed.
If your installer has programmed the “Away” function key, you can use it at any time to Away arm your system. Press and hold the key for 2 seconds to initiate away arming. If your system is stay armed, pressing the Away key will turn on the interior zones and the system will be away armed.
Stay Arming
This feature, if enabled by your installer, will allow you to arm the perimeter zones while leaving the interior zones inactive so that you can remain on the premises while the system is armed. When you enter your security code to arm the system and do not exit the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door, the system will arm in the Stay mode, automatically bypassing the interior zones.
If your installer has programmed the “Stay” function key, you can use it at any time to stay arm your system. Press and hold the key for 2 seconds to turn on stay arming. If your system is away armed, pressing the Stay key will turn off the interior zones and the system will be stay armed.
You can turn the interior zones on again by pressing the Away key or [*][1]. If you turn on the interior zones, do not go into areas covered by motion detectors. To access areas protected by motion detectors, you must enter your security code and disarm the system, or press the Stay key to turn off interior zones.
Disarming the System
Disarming from an LED Keypad:
Enter the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door; entering by any other door will sound an immediate alarm. As soon as the Exit/Entry door is opened, the keypad will beep to indicate that the system should be disarmed. Go to the keypad and enter your access code. If an error is made entering the code, enter your code again. As soon as the correct code is entered, the Armed light will go out and the keypad will stop beeping.
The correct access code must be entered before the entry delay period expires. If a valid access code is not entered during this time, the system will go into alarm. The entry delay time may be changed by your installer.
If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, upon disarming the system, the Memory light and the zone light corresponding to the zone which caused the alarm will flash for 30 seconds. After the 30 second period, the Memory light and zone light will stop flashing and the panel will return to the Ready state. Pressing the [#] key during the 30 second period will cancel the alarm memory display. To view other alarms, press [*][3].
If a trouble was detected when the panel is disarmed, the Trouble light will turn ON (See “Viewing Trouble Conditions” on page 12 to determine the source of the trouble.) Please note that troubles will not display while the system is in the Alarm Memory Display mode.
Disarming from an LCD Keypad:
Upon entering through a designated Exit/Entry door, the keypad will beep and the entry delay will
commence, reminding you to disarm the system. The keypad will display the following message, “Entry Active Enter Your Code”. Enter your access code. If an error is made in entering the code, enter the code again. When a valid access code is entered, the keypad will stop beeping. If no alarms occurred while the panel was armed, and there are no troubles, the display
will read, “System Disarmed No Alarm Memory”. After about five seconds, the system will return to the Ready state and the display
will read, “Enter Code to Arm System”.
If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, this message will be displayed, “View Memory < > “Zone of Alarm””. Use the arrow (< >) keys to view which zones caused the alarm. If a zone is still in alarm, the display will show the following message to indicate that a zone is open, “Secure System Before Arming <>”.
Upon disarming and if a trouble is present, this message will be displayed, “Enter Code to Arm System < >”. Use the arrow (< >) keys to view which troubles are affecting the system (see “Viewing Trouble Conditions” on page 12).
NOTE: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you were away, it is possible that an intruder may still be on the premises. Go to a neighbor’s house, and call the local police to investigate. The alarm memory is cleared each time the panel is armed so that any alarms showing are alarms that occurred only during the last armed period.
