USING THE KEYSWITCH

General

Your system may be equipped with a keyswitch for use when arming and disarming. A red and green light on the keyswitch plate indicate the status of your system as follows:

Green Light: Lights when the system is disarmed and ready to be armed (no open zones). If the system is disarmed and the green light is off, it indicates the system is not ready (one or more zones are open).
