Your Custom Display
“At an idle state” means that the system is not currently performing a function entered by a user. There are three idle states the system may be in:
•Turned on (Armed)
•Turned off (Disarmed) with no points faulted (doors or windows open) in the area
•Turned off with faulted points (doors or windows open) in the area.
This guide uses the default idle state displays for examples of these idle states. Your security company may have programmed custom text for the idle displays in your system. The custom text and the default text for the three system idle displays follow.
