Why can’t I arm my GE 4 Series Security System to Level 3—AWAY?
If you can’t arm your GE Security System to Level 3—AWAY, it might be because a delay door is open or was not activated after the arming attempt. Close the delay door, arm the system to Level 3, then exit through a delay door.
Why does my GE 4 Series Security System alphanumeric touchpad display “INVALID” when bypassing a sensor?
If your GE Security System alphanumeric touchpad displays “INVALID” and your fixed display touchpad sounds a single, long beep when you attempt to bypass a sensor, it could be due to several reasons: * The sensor you’re trying to bypass may not be active in the current arming level. For example, an interior motion detector will not be active in Level 2—STAY. * You may be trying to bypass a 24-hour sensor that cannot be bypassed, such as a smoke detector. * Your access code has not been assigned the direct bypassing attribute.
Why don't my lights come on automatically as programmed on my GE 4 Series?
If the lights don’t come on automatically as programmed with your GE Security System, check the following: * Does the lamp have a working bulb? * Is the lamp plugged in at a working outlet that is not controlled by a light switch? * Is the lamp plugged in to a lamp module? * Make sure that you’ve attached the correct time schedule. * Check to see that you’ve set up the time schedule correctly. * Check the User Sheets to see in which partition the light is set up to be active.
