Chapter 4
4.0 Securing the Premises
The PowerSeries Neo provides multiple arming modes as described below:
Away mode
Use when no one in your household will be home. Away mode activates all peri-
meter and interior sensors in the alarm system.
Stay mode
Use this mode when you are staying home, but expect someone to use the entrance
door later. Stay mode partially activates your alarm system by arming all perimeter
sensors and bypassing all interior sensors.
Night mode
Use when you want the perimeter and interior armed but would like to allow limited
movement in your house without activating the alarm. (e.g., disable motion sensors
in an area containing bedrooms and a washroom). Night mode is similar to Stay
mode but only bypasses internal sensors configured as Night Zones.
NOTE: Verify with your alarm company which modes are available on your system. For SIA FAR listed
panels, the Stay Arming Exit Delay will be twice as long as the Away Arming Exit Delay.
Depending on your system configuration, there are multiple methods you can use to arm your system.
You can arm the system using a:
l Keypad
l 2-way wireless key

l Silent Exit Delay
4.1 Arming the System
The PowerSeries Neo system can be set/armed using a keypad, a 2-way wireless key or a proximity tag.
4.1.1 Arming the System (Infinite Exit Delay)
In an attempt to reduce false alarms, your system is designed to notify you of an improper exit when arm-
ing the system. When using the Push to Set, or Final Door Set feature, attempting to arm your system will
start an infinite exit delay. The keypad will sound a beep once per second. When you have opened and
closed the final exit door, or after pressing the Push to Set button, the exit delay will be reduced to a pro-
grammable value, which is typically 10 seconds, after which the alarm will complete the setting. The
panel used this time period to allow time for the detectors on the system to return to their normal state.
When this time expires, the system checks for detectors/windows/doors that may be open. If any of these
are open, the panel will cancel the arming. If this occurs, you must re-enter the premises, check the sys-
tem, close any open zones, and then attempt to arm again.
4.1.2 Away Arming the System with the Keypad
Away mode activates the complete alarm system by:
l Arming all perimeter sensors.
l Arming all interior sensors.
