8. Arming and disarming the system
This key is used to quickly arm the complete system. No user code is required for this. Note that when
this key is pressed ALL detectors including those in all sub-areas (if there are any) are activated. This
function will only work if the key has been enabled in consultation with your specialist installation
contractor. This key has no function if it has not been enabled beforehand. If necessary speak to your
installation contractor if this key function is required.
This key is used to disarm the system again. A er the disarm key is pressed you must enter a valid user
code. The complete system is then disarmed (including all sub-areas).
8.2 Graphical display of arming/disarming on the display
This section contains information on how the arming or disarming of the alarm panel is shown on the
display. This assumes that your system has been con gured with just one sub-area. All detectors are therefore
assigned to sub-area1. In this case sub-area1 is the entire premises.
8.3 Arming/disarming via the quick arm keys
1. If the system is disarmed, the display responds as follows: The open padlock
symbol indicates the disarmed status of the alarm panel.
2. If the key is then pressed, the system is completely armed. As mentioned
previously, the system is armed only once the delay time has expired as
programmed by your installation contractor.
3. You should leave the premises within this time delay. The closed padlock
symbol then indicates the armed status of the alarm panel. To disarm the
alarm panel again, simply press the key and enter a valid user code. The
system is then disarmed with the audio message, "The alarm system is
disarmed" and the open padlock symbol visually indicates this status.
This method of arming the system as described here using the quick arm keys is one of the fastest and provides
a representative example of how system arming works in general. The next section provides information on
other ways to arm the system. Not all of these options may be available, as they depend on the con guration
of your system by the specialist installation contractor. If necessary speak to your installation contractor if you
desire a speci c method of arming your system.
