Stay Arming
Audible Exit Fault
In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an
improper exit when arming the system in the Away mode. In the event that you fail to exit
the premises during the allotted exit delay period, or if you do not securely close the Exit/
Entry door, the system will notify you that it was improperly armed in two ways: the keypad
will emit one continuous beep and the bell or siren will sound.
Your installer will tell you if this feature has been enabled on your system.
1. Re-enter the premises.
2. Enter your [access code] to disarm the system. You must do this before the entry delay
timer expires.
3. Follow the Away arming procedure again, making sure to close the entry/exit door prop¬
erly. (See "Away Arming" on page 7.)
Use the Stay arming method when you want to stay on the premises, but prevent unautho¬
rized entry from outside the premises. The system will arm only the border (e.g., door and
window contacts) zones and will bypass the interior zones (e.g., motion detectors) so that
you will be free to move around inside.
1. Check that your system is ready to be armed (Ready light is ON)
2. Enter your [access code]. As you enter each digit, the keypad sounder beeps.
If you entered the access code incorrectly, the keypad sounder buzzes steadily for two
seconds. Re-enter your access code correctly.
When you enter a valid access code:
• The keypad sounds fast beeps.
• The Armed light turns ON.
• LCD5500Z keypads display "Exit Delay in Progress".
• The exit delay begins and the keypad beeps once every second until the end of
the exit delay. The keypad beeps quickly for the last 10 seconds of the exit delay.
3. DO NOT exit the premises through the entry/exit door. This tells the system that you are
staying, and the system automatically bypasses the Stay/Away zones.
At the end of the exit delay, all keypad lights, except the Armed light, turn OFF.
LCD5500Z keypads display "System Armed in Stay Mode" and "Enter Code to Disarm
System". At PC55XXZ and LCD5501Z keypads, the Bypass indicator will be on. The sys¬
tem is now armed.
NOTE: As a safety measure, the Stay Arming exit delay will be twice as long as the
Away Arming exit delay.
