Using The Keyswitch

General

Your system may be equipped with a keyswitch for use when arming and disarming a partition. 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).

Red Light: Lights when system is armed or memory of alarm exists.

Lit Steady: Partition is armed in AWAY mode.

Slow Flashing: Partition is armed in STAY mode.

Rapid Flashing: Memory of alarm, indicating an alarm has occurred .

Arming

To arm in the AWAY mode, turn the key to the right for 1 second and release. Keypads will beep twice and the

red light will stay on steady.

To arm in the STAY mode, turn the

 

key to the right and hold for longer than

 

10 seconds, then release. Keypads will

 

beep three times and the red light will

 

flash slowly.

 

Disarming

 

GREEN

RED

To disarm the partition, turn the key

 

to the right and release. If an alarm has

NOTE: Your system may be

 

programmed to use the keyswitch to

 

silence fire alarms without affecting the

 

status of the burglary portion of the

 

system. Check with your installer to see

 

if this feature has been enabled.
