Stay Arming

Stay arming will bypass the interior protection (i.e., motion sensors) and arm the perimeter of the system (i.e., doors and windows). Close all sensors(i.e.,stop motion and close doors). The Ready (✔) indicator will illuminate.

Press and hold the Stay (MAN IN HOUSE) button until it beeps (approx. 2 seconds), enter your access code or present your prox tag; do not leave the premises. During the setting state (exit delay active),the Armed (PADLOCK ICON) and Ready (✔) indicators will illuminate.

When the exit delay is completed, the alarm system is armed/set and this is indicated on the keypad as follows: the Ready (✔) indicator will turn off, the Armed (PADLOCK ICON) indicator will remain on.

The Armed indicator and a bypass message will be displayed. The system will automatically ignore bypassed zones (i.e., motion sensors).

NOTE:For SIA CP-01 listed panels, the Stay Arming Exit Delay will be twice as long as the Away Arming Exit Delay.

NOTE: If your system is installed in accordance with SIA CP-01 Standard for False Alarm Reduction, then the security system will arm in the Stay Armed mode if the exit delay time expires and no exit has been made.

Night Arming

To night arm the system when it has been armed in Stay Mode, press [*] [1] at the keypad. All interior zones will now be armed except for devices programmed as Night Zones.

NOTE:Your installer can also program a function key on the keypad to allow you to arm the system in Night Mode. This allows Night Arming to be activated by holding down the function key for 2 seconds.

Night zones are only armed in Away mode; this permits limited movement within the premiseswhen the system is fully armed. Ensure that your installer has provided you with a list identifying zones programmed as night zones.

When the interior zones are activated (i.e., [*] [1]) you must enter your access code or present your proximity tag to disarm the system in order to gain access to interior areas that have not been programmed as night zones.

Silent Exit Delay

If the system is armed using the Stay button or using the ’No Entry’ Arming method ([*][9][Access Code]), the keypad buzzer will be silenced and the exit time will be doubled for that exit period only.

Away Arming

Close all sensors (i.e., stop motion and close doors). The Ready (✔) indicator should be on.

To arm, press and hold the Away button for 2 seconds and/or enter your access code, present your prox tag or press [*][0] to Quick Arm.

During the setting state (exit delay active) the Armed and Ready (✔) indicators will turn on,and the keypad will sound one beep per second. You now have ___ seconds to leave the premises (please check with your installer to have this time programmed). A keypad buzzer, whose pulsating rate is distinct, will sound during the last ten seconds of the exit delay to warn person(s) that the exit delay is running out. To cancel the arming sequence, enter your access code or present your prox tag.

When the exit delay is completed, the alarm system is armed and this is indicated on the keypad display as follows: the Ready(✔) indicator will turn off, the Armed indicator will remain on and the keypad will stop sounding.

The system can also be armed/disarmed with a wireless key and with prox tags. Refer to the‘Proximity Tags and ‘Two-Way Wireless Key’ sections for more details.

NOTE: If your system is installed in accordance with SIA CP-01 Standard for False AlarmReduction, the following holds true:\ Violation and restoral, followed by a second violation of the entry/exit zone before the end of the exit delay, will restart the exit delay.

Quick Exit

If the system is armed and you need to exit, use the Quick Exit function to avoid disarming and rearming the system. Press and hold the Quick Exit button (OPEN DOOR ICON) for 2 seconds or press [*] [0]. You now have 2 minutes to leave the premises. When the door is closed again, the remaining exit time is cancelled.

Siren Sounds After Away Arming

Audible Exit Fault

In order to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an improper exit when arming the system. If you fail to securely close the entry/exit door during the programmed exit delay period, the system will sound the alarm to indicate an improper exit (your installer will tell you if this feature has been enabled on your system). If this occurs:

1. Re-enter the premises.
2. Enter your access code or present your prox tag, before the entry delay timer expires, to dis-arm the system.
3. Repeat the Away arming procedure, ensuring that the entry/exit door(s) are secured.

Arming Error

An error tone will sound if the system is unable to arm. This will happen if the system is not ready to arm (i.e., sensors are open), or if an incorrect user code has been entered. If this happens, ensure all sensors are secure, press [#] and try again.

Disarming

To disarm an armed system (Armed indicator is On), enter your access code or present your prox tag. If your keypad is in sleep mode, press any key to wake it up then enter your access code/present prox tag. The keypad will sound a continuous tone after the entry delay has been initiated by opening the entry/exit door. Enter your code within _______ seconds to avoid analarm condition (check with your installer to have this time programmed).

Disarming Error

If your code/prox tag is invalid, the system will not disarm and a 2-second error tone will sound.If this happens, press [#] and try again.

Remote Arming and Disarming

The system can be armed and/or disarmed, if programmed by the installer, using a remote control device (wireless key fob). When arming the system using the Arm button on a wireless key, the system will acknowledge the command by sounding a single bell/siren squawk, if programmed to do so by the installer. When disarming using the disarm button on a wireless key, the system will acknowledge the command by sounding two bell/siren squawks. Three squawks, when disarming with the disarm button, indicates that an alarm occurred while the system was armed. If you are unsure of the cause of the alarm, proceed with caution (see section on 2-way Wireless Keys).

Bypassing Zones

Use the zone bypassing feature when you need access to a protected area while the system isarmed, or when a zone is temporarily out of service but you need to arm the system. Bypassed zones will not be able to sound an alarm. As a result, bypassing zones reduces the level of security. If you are bypassing a zone because it is not working, call a service technician immediately so that the problem can be resolved and your system returned to proper working order. Ensure that no zones are unintentionally bypassed when arming your system. Zones cannot be bypassed once the system is armed. Bypassed zones (except for 24-hr zones) are automatically cancelled each time the system is disarmed and must be bypassed again, if required, before the next arming.

With the system disarmed:

• Press [*] to enter the function menu.

• Press [1] or [*]
• If your system is programmed to require access codes the screen on the right will be displayed. Enter your 4-digit access code.
