Enable Quick Arm

The Quick Arm feature allows the security system to be armed by pressing the desired mode key twice instead of having to enter your code.

The default setting for Enable Quick Arm is No.

Enable Auto Bypass

The Auto-Bypassfeature allows the system to automatically bypass an open zone when the system is armed, rather than setting off the alarm. In some applications, it may be preferable to allow arming only if all zones are secure (READY).

With Auto-BypassOff, all zones to be armed must be secure when the system is armed. Otherwise, the console will beep three times and display "ZONE NOT RDY". If the system is armed and a zone is open when the Exit Delay expires, the alarm will sound.

All On For Alarm

This option will instruct Omni IIe to execute an X-10 All On command in the event that any type of alarm occurs.

Beep On Trouble

If the Omni IIe detects any troubles with itself or one of the zones connected to it, it will display a message on the screen and beep the console twice per second, continuously (i.e. beep beep...beep beep...). You can silence this sound by pressing the ' * ' key. However, if the trouble occurs again, the beeper will start beeping again.

If you do not wish to hear the beeping sound when a trouble occurs, set Beep On Trouble to No.

The default setting for Beep On Trouble is Yes.

Set up Miscellaneous

To configure Miscellaneous items in the system, from the Set Up menu, press the 6 (MISC) key.

High Security Mode

In High Security Mode, the Master or Manager code is always required to do the following functions:

•Any Control functions

•Any Temperature Control

•View the Event Log

•Access the system from a local phone

With High Security Mode Off, no code is required to access a local telephone.

If your system is set up with High Security Mode On, the display will request the Master or Manager code whenever you select one of these functions, even if the security system is Off. Simply enter your Master or Manager code.

Your system was shipped from the factory with High Security Mode Off, which allows you to view the event log and access the local phones without having to enter a code. In most residential applications, this is appropriate. If you have a commercial installation, or would like added protection from unauthorized access to the system, you may wish to turn on High Security Mode.

Announce Alarms

If the HAI Two-Way Audio Module is being used in a system, this item enables the system to speak the type of alarm and zone over a speaker on premises. When an alarm first occurs, the siren is activated. After a few seconds, the siren is turned off and the type of alarm is announced. The siren is then reactivated.

The default for Announce Alarms is No.
