8 SETTING TH E ALARM ( ARMING) WHE N LEAVING
If you attempt to arm with a “TROUBLE” display (alternating with a system trouble error code), a 3-
second tone will sound at the keypad. (See SYSTEM TROUBLE ERROR CODES for descriptions
of codes). The window will display “CAN'T ArmRst”. If you cannot correct the problem
immediately, pressing C will enable you to arm in this condition. Be sure to call for service as
soon as possible.
Area Arming (Optional)
Some systems may be divided, or partitioned, into smaller independent subsystems, which are
referred to as Areas. In a system that has been partitioned into multiple areas, one or more area
may be armed while others remain disarmed. In a multi-area system, the area number will be
indicated by the right-most digit.
Manager's Mode The Manager's Mode, if enabled, provides quick access to other areas without
the system status display. (This is NOT a high-security feature).
To arm any area:
1. Press the numerical key representing the area number.
2. Press G followed by J. In effect, you will now "be" in that area.
3. Enter your User Code followed by J to arm or disarm the area. Note: Your code must be
valid in that area.
4. Press G followed by J to return to the home area.
Global Arming (Optional) (Not available with GEM-P1632/816 panels)
To arm all areas simultaneously, press 9, G and enter your code followed by J.
To disarm all areas simultaneously, press 0, G and enter your code followed by J.
If any zone is not secured, the keypad will alternately display "CAN'T ARM / AREA #", where
"#" identifies the number of the area(s) in trouble. All problem zones in the respective area(s)
must be secured or bypassed before the area can be armed. Note: If a system trouble is
indicated, the system cannot be armed using this method.
