AWAY MODE
Awaymodeisforarmingthesystemwhen
everyoneisleavingthepremises.Away
modearmsallsensor‐protectedperimeter
doorsandwindows,interiormotionsensors,
interiorglassbreaksensors,andanyother
sensor‐protectedinteriordoors.The
premisesmustbeunoccupiedwhilethe
systemisarmed.Awaymodeistypically

usedforarmingthesystemduringthe
daytimehoursinaresidentiallocation,and
non‐businesshoursinacommerciallocation.
WhenthesystemisarmedinAwa ymode,
youcannotmoveaboutthepremises
withouttriggeringtheburglaryalarm(ifthe
systemisinstalledwithint eriormotion
detectors).Analarm
alsooccursifany
sensor‐protecteddoororwindowisopened
orglassbreakageisdetected(ifglass
breakagedetectorsareinstalledinyour
system).
Exit and Entry Delays in Away
mode
Certainsensors,suchasadoor,canbesetup
byyourinstallertohaveadelaybefore
triggeringanalarm.Thisprovidesawayfor
anauthorizedpersontoexitandre‐enterthe
premiseswithouttriggeringanalarm.
• ExitDelayallowstimetoleaveafter
armingthesystem.
• EntryDelayallowstimetoenterand
disarmthesystembeforeanalarmis
triggered.
Whenarmingthesystemin
Awaymode,anEntryDela y
checkboxisshownonthe
Armingscreen.Bydefault,
thisoptionischecked,sothe
programmeddelaydoorsallowtimefor
disarmingthesystemafterthedooris
opened.IfyoucleartheEntryDelaybox,the
delayedalarmtrigger
isremovedfromall
sensor‐protecteddoorsprogrammedfor
delay.Thoseentrancesinstantlytriggeran
alarmiftheyareopenedinAwaymode.
NOTE: WiththeEntryDelaydisabled,
youmustremotelydisarmthe
systemwithawirelesskeyfob
beforeentering.
Exit Delay Restart
TheExitDelayRestartoptionextendsthe
ExitDelayonetimeifyouneedtore‐enter
thepremises.WiththeExitDelayRestart
option,whenyoure‐enterthepremises
afteryouhaveleft,butbeforetheExitDelay
timerexpires,theExitDelaytimerrestarts,
givingyouthefull
lengthoftimetoleave
again.
TIP: TheExitDelayRestartoptiononlyworks
once,eachtimethesystemisarmed.
Silent Control in Away Mode
Threeoptionsforsilencingthebeepsand
announcementsareavailablewhenarming
ordisarmingthesysteminAwaymode.
•OntheControlPanel’sHomeand
Securityscreens,aSilentControlbutton
isdisplay ed.
•OntheArmingscreen,aSilentExit
checkboxisdisplayed.
•OntheExitDelayscreen,aSilence
buttonisdisplayed.
Selectinganyoftheseoptionssilencesthe
ControlPanelbeepsandannouncements,
andwhenarming;selectingSilentControl
doublesthelengthoftheExitDelay.
