7.3.6. Force Arm
Force arming enables you to arm the system when the system is not ready. For example, a door that is protected by a
magnetic contact is open. You may arm the system on condition that the zone is defined as Force Arm enabled. This
door must be closed by the end of the Exit delay otherwise an alarm is generated. If the magnetic contact’s zone is
defined as Force Arm disabled, the system will not be ready to arm until you close the door.
To program the Force Arm option:
1. From the Programming menu, select Devices, Zones [911].
2. Select the zone you want to program.
3. From the zone’s sub-menu, select Force Arm [#07]; the zone’s current Force Arm setting is displayed.
4. Select either Enabled or Disabled.
Note: For the Force Arm feature to function, you must also enable Force Arming in System Options -- see p.
56, 9.3.1 Forced Arm.
7.3.7. Swinger
A zone defined as Swinger enabled can generate only a limited number of alarms during a specific time period. The
Swinger setting is defined in System Options – see p.56, 9.1 Swinger Setting.
To program the Swinger option:
1. From the Programming menu, select Devices, Zones [911].
2. Select the zone you want to program.
3. From the zone’s sub-menu, select Swinger [#08]; the zone’s current Swinger setting is displayed.

24-hr, Gas, Flood and Environmental zones).
7.3.8. Repeater (Wireless Zones Only)
The EL-2635 repeater is an additional module that extends the range of the wireless transmitters. For a sensor to use the
repeater to relay transmissions to the system, you must define the Repeater option for its zone as "Use Repeater".

7.3.9. CMS (Central Monitoring Station) Reporting
There is an option to enable or disable central monitoring station reporting for each burglary zone specifically. If
enabled, the alarms are reported in the ordinary way, i.e. after the wireless siren delay; if disabled, alarms from this
zone are not reported to the Central Station.
Note: This parameter is relevant only to Burglary zones used as Normal, Entry/Exit, Follower, or 24 hours type.
To program the CMS Reporting option:
1. From the Programming menu, select Devices, Zones [911].
