Using the system

Arming the system

Press ARM HOME on the Console to arm all Door/Window Sensors instantly. Motion Detectors will not trip the system when it is armed in the ARM HOME mode.

Press ARM AWAY to arm all Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors. This arms the system after a set delay. The delay will be what you specified as the EXIT DELAY on page 27 (1 minute default). If you arm the system in the AWAY mode you will also have an entry delay when you enter your home before the alarm trips, to give you time to disarm it. This delay will be what you specified for your ENTRY DELAY on page 27 (30 second default).

Pressing ARM on the Keychain remote always arms in the AWAY mode, but arms instantly.

Disarming the system

Pressing DISARM on the Keychain remote disarms the system instantly. The zone that was violated is shown in the display. To remove this press Arm and Disarm again.

To disarm from the Console: Enter your 4 digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) this will be 0000 unless you changed it (see page 24).

ENTER PIN 12:00 am

Entering the PIN clears the top line and shows * for each number entered.

****

12:00 am

If the unit was armed, (in either ARMED HOME or ARMED AWAY modes) it will disarm when the PIN is entered, and return to the time display, with DISARMED in the top line.

DISARMED

If there’s a problem

If a door or window is open and you try to arm the system the display looks as below. Where ZONE 9 is the door or window that’s open.

OPEN

ZONE 9

If a Door/Window Sensor or Motion Detector has not reported in within the last 4 hours and you try to arm the system the display shows:

PROBLEM

ZONE 9

If a Door/Window Sensor has been tampered with, e.g. the cover is open, and you try to arm the system the display shows:

TAMPER

ZONE 9

For all the above situations, pressing the Clear (Bypass) button bypasses the problem zone and lets you arm the system. After pressing Bypass the next problem zone is displayed, (if there is more than one).

You can’t arm the system while there’s a problem zone unless you fix the problem, or bypass the zone. If you try to arm the system while there’s a problem with one or more zone you will hear a repetitive “trouble alarm” to alert you that you need to bypass or fix the problem zone(s).

Note also, if the Console itself has been tampered with, i.e. the door to the upper right of the display is open, the problem must be fixed (close the door) before you can arm the system. Note if the system is armed and this door is tampered with, the alarm trips.

If you bypass a zone and then arm the system, that zone stays bypassed until you disarm the system.
