How to Arm Your Security System

Arming Level 2—STAY

There are times when you want intrusion protection, but still want the freedom to move around within your house without setting off an alarm. For example, in the evening when your family is inside for the night. In this and similar situations, set your system to 2—STAY.

To arm to Level 2—STAY using a touchpad:

1. Close all protected perimeter doors and windows.

2. Press 2—STAY at any touchpad.

• Alphanumeric touchpads display, “ENTER CODE.”

• On LED touchpads, Enter Code blinks.

3. Enter your access code.

• Alphanumeric touchpads display, “ARMED TO STAY.”

• On LED touchpads, STAY lights up:

4. The system sounds two short beeps.

5. If leaving the premises, exit through a designated delay door immediately.

Arming Level 3—AWAY

At other times, you want every sensor to be alert: when the family goes on vacation, or at closing time. In this and similar situations, set your system to 3—AWAY for maximum protection. All sensors are active—perimeter door and window sensors, and interior motion detectors.

To arm to Level 3—AWAY using a touchpad:

1. Close all perimeter doors and windows.

2. Press 3—AWAY at any touchpad.

• Alphanumeric touchpads display, “ENTER CODE.”

• On LED touchpads, Enter Code blinks.

3. Enter your access code.

• Alphanumeric touchpads display, “ARMED TO AWAY.”

• On LED touchpads, AWAY lights up:

How to Bypass a Zone

1. Leave open only those doors and windows that are to remain open. Close all others.

2. Arm your system to the desired level. The touchpad will emit protest beeps because of the open sensor(s).

3. At any touchpad: Enter BYPASS.

• Alphanumeric touchpads display, “SENSOR 01 BYPASSED,” for example.

• On LED touchpads, the Bypass LED lights up.

4. The system sounds arming level beeps to indicate that the system is armed and open sensors have been successfully bypassed. Disarming the system will undo the bypassing. When you arm the system again, those sensors will arm.

How to Add a Security Code

1. Enter User Programming by pressing 9 + System or Partition Master CODE.
