ARMING AW AY: SETTING THE ALARM WHEN LEAVING

Arming the System

1.Check the keypad. The green STATUS light must be on in order to arm.

If the green light is off, the number(s) of any unsecured zone(s) will display in the window. Refer to the pull-up zone list for the location of each problem zone and secure by closing windows, doors, etc.. When all zones are secure, the green STATUS light will come on.

2.Arm the system. Enter your User Code followed by Q. The green STATUS

light will go off, the red ARMED light will come on. Note: If you enter an invalid code, the keypad will beep 4 times, indicating an error. Re-enter your code.

3.Leave the premises. Leave through the exit door before the exit time expires.

Priority Arming

If you attempt to arm the system with a faulted Zone, a 3-second tone will sound at the keypad and “P” will display in the window, indicating that the zones must be secured before the panel can be armed.

Selectively Bypassing Zones

If you cannot locate or repair a faulted zone, it can be removed from the system, or bypassed. Bypass the zone(s) from the system by pressing B, followed by the

zone number (or vice versa). The BYPASS icon will turn on to indicate that the zone has been bypassed. Note: Bypassed zones are unprotected. If a faulted zone cannot be secured, have the system checked as soon as possible. In addition, some systems require a User Code to be entered prior to pressing B(for higher secu-

rity). Please consult with your alarm professional to see if this option is programmed (GEM-P9600/GEM-P3200).
