Arming the System

1Check the keypad. The green STATUS light must be on in order to arm. If the green light is off, “ZONES FAULTED” will display in the window followed by the number and description of each faulted zone. Note each problem zone and secure it by closing a window, door, etc. When all zones are secure, the green STATUS light will come on and the window will display “SYSTEM READY”.

2Arm the system. Enter your code and press J. The green STATUS light will go

off, the red ARMED light will come on and the window will display “EXIT TIME XXX”, “PLEASE LEAVE NOW” (where “XXX” represents the exit time remaining, in 10-second steps). Note: If you enter a wrong code, the keypad will display “INVALID ENTRY, TRY AGAIN”. Re-enter your code immediately.

3Leave the premises. Leave through the exit door before exit time expires.

Priority Arming

If you attempt to arm with a faulted Zone, a 3-second tone will sound at the keypad. “ZONES NOT NORMAL” and “CAN'T ARM SYSTEM”, will display in the window, indicating that the faulted zone(s) must be secured before the panel can be armed.

Selectively Bypassing Zones

If you cannot locate or repair the problem yourself, call for assistance. If you cannot get immediate help, bypass the problem zone(s) from the system by pressing B, then the zone number (or vice versa).

Note: Bypassed zones are unprotected. If armed with zones bypassed, be sure to have the system checked as soon as possible.
