2 = NIGHT

The NIGHT mode is used when you are asleep and everyone in your household is at home. In the Night mode, your doors, windows, and non-sleeping area (i.e. downstairs) motion detectors are armed. In the Night mode, there is no entry delay. The alarm system sounder will be activated immediately if any door, window, or non-sleeping area (motion detector) is tripped.

3 = AWAY

Use the AWAY mode when you leave your house and no one is home. All doors, windows, and motion detectors are armed. All zones have an Exit Delay so that you will have time to leave and close the door after you arm the system. The system will be fully armed after the Exit Delay. There is an Entry Delay on the Entry-Exit zones in the Away mode, so that you will have time to turn the system off when you return through your door.

Note that the Entry Delay only applies if you come in through an Entry-Exit zone. If someone attempts to climb into a window, or if an interior zone is tripped before the Entry-Exit zone, the alarm will be activated immediately. If you do enter through an Entry-Exit zone first, then the other zones are disabled during the Entry Delay, in case you have to cross through another zone to get to your console (an interior motion detector, for example).

4 = VACATION

This mode arms all doors, windows, and interior motion detectors (same as Away mode). There is an Entry Delay on the Entry- Exit zones. Use this mode when you are leaving for a period of days.

5 = DAY INST (DAY INSTANT)

Functions same as Day mode, however, there is no Entry Delay on any of the security zones. There will be an instant alarm if any of the zones are violated while in this mode.

6 = NIGHT DLY (NIGHT DELAY)

Functions same as Night mode, however, there is an Entry Delay on the Entry-Exit zones. Use this mode if you are going to sleep but a family member is expected home at a later time.

To arm the system into one of the 6 security modes, from the security menu, choose the security mode and press the appropriate key (1 - 6).

Enter your user code number on the console keypad.

The console will beep once and the console LED will be set to red. The top line will display the security mode. The bottom line will display, " *** ARMING SYSTEM *** " to indicate that the system is being armed. The system will be fully armed after the Exit Delay expires. If arming in Away or Vacation mode and Audible Exit Delay is enabled, the console will beep until the Exit Delay has expired. During the last 10 second of the Exit Delay, the console will beep twice as fast so leave and close the door promptly.

NOTE: In Commercial Burglar Alarm Applications for UL Certified Systems, a Ring-back indication and Bell-test should be heard after arming (closing). If not heard, call for service.

Using Shortcut Keys

There are three shortcut keys on the console to arm the system in the Day, Night, and Away security modes, and Off to disarm, without having to go into the security menu.

From the top-level display, press one of the shortcut security keys. Enter your code number on the console keypad.

The console will beep once and the console LED will be set to red. The top line will display the security mode to indicate that you have correctly armed the system. The system will be fully armed after the Exit Delay expires.

The programmed Entry Delay is __________ seconds.

The programmed Exit Delay is __________ seconds.

II specifications

Home Automation II represents the next evolution in smart home technology, providing users with greater flexibility, convenience, and security through advanced features and integrated systems. This smart home revolution focuses on the seamless interaction of devices and the automation of daily tasks, ultimately enhancing the overall living experience.

One of the key features of Home Automation II is interoperability among a wide range of devices. This enables homeowners to control lights, thermostats, security cameras, and other appliances from a single platform. Whether through smartphones, tablets, or voice-activated assistants, users can easily manage their home environment, monitor energy consumption, and receive real-time notifications. This level of integration not only simplifies operation but also creates a more cohesive smart home ecosystem.

Another significant aspect of Home Automation II is the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. These technologies learn a homeowner’s habits and preferences, allowing the system to adapt automatically. For example, the thermostat can adjust temperatures based on the time of day and occupancy patterns, while lighting systems can simulate human presence when residents are away. This not only enhances comfort but also contributes to energy efficiency, leading to potential cost savings in utility bills.

Home Automation II offers enhanced security features as well. Smart locks, surveillance cameras, and motion detectors can all be integrated into the home’s network. This allows homeowners to monitor their property remotely, receive security alerts, and even grant access to visitors through mobile apps. Biometric security options, such as facial recognition, are also becoming more common, adding an extra layer of protection.

Furthermore, energy management technologies are a hallmark of Home Automation II. Smart plugs and sensors monitor energy use, providing insights to homeowners about how to reduce consumption. Advanced systems can even automate energy distribution, shifting usage to off-peak hours to alleviate strain on local grids and maximize efficiency.

Finally, voice control has become a prominent feature in Home Automation II, allowing users to operate devices hands-free. Integration with voice-activated platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri adds another layer of convenience, making it easy to control multiple aspects of the home with simple voice commands.

In conclusion, Home Automation II represents a significant step forward in creating intelligent spaces that are responsive to the needs of their users. Through the integration of cutting-edge technologies, enhanced security measures, energy management, and intuitive control options, the concept of a smart home is evolving into a more accessible and efficient reality.
