Alarm Zones and Modes
Modes:
The Wireless Alarm System has two main modes of operation, the Home Mode and Out Mode. These zones do not refer to where the sensors are placed, but where you are at any given time.
For example, when you are in your home, you should set the alarm system to “Home”. Home Mode should include your Window/Door Sensor(s) and any other sensors you want to be active while there are people in the house. For this reason, we suggest not assigning any of the PIR motion sensors inside your home to a zone which is armed in Home Mode - it will give you many ‘false’ alarms.
Arming “Out Mode” will arm all zones on the alarm system. Thus, this should only be armed when there is to be
Zones:
The Wireless Alarm System has eight discreet zones, named 1 through 8. Any (or all, or none) of these zones can be assigned to the Home Mode. All zones are always associated with Out Mode.
Thus, arming Home Mode will arm only the zones you have assigned to Home Mode. We suggest that the Window/Door Sensor works well assigned to Home Mode.
Activating Out Mode will arm all the sensors attached to your alarm system, those located both inside and outside the home.

Home Mode | Mode. This is intended for use when there are people | |

Out Mode | Will arm sensors in all eight zones. This mode is intended | |
to be activated whilst there is nobody in the house. | ||

You can change the Zone and Mode that a sensor is assigned to
when you pair it with the Keypad Alarm Control Unit.
See the sensor pairing instructions on page 13.
