Function Default Description
Phone lock Off Prevents resetting of phone/reporting related options when a
memory clear is preformed (on) or resets these options to their
default values when a memory clear is performed (off). The
following are not reset when on: account number, dealer code,
code length, call wait cancel, phone numbers 1 and 2, phone report
modes 1 to 4, phone lock, downloader phone number downloader
code.
Auto arm On Determines how long the system protests (announces open/failed
sensors) when attempting to arm with open/failed sensors, before
bypassing these sensors and automatically arming the rest of the
system. The panel protests an arming attempt when it has not
received a restore (close) signal from sensors learned into restore-
specific sensor groups. Sensors learned into group 26 (fire) cannot
be bypassed.
When this option is on, the panel announces all open/failed sensors
repeatedly for four minutes, then automatically bypasses the open
sensors and arms the rest of the system. If a sensor is opened
during the exit delay and then left open, the panel will go into alarm
after the exit delay has expired. This option must be on for
unvacated premises and exit extension to work correctly.
When the option is off, the panel displays all open/failed sensors
once, then automatically bypasses the open sensors and arms the
rest of the system after the exit delay has expired. If other sensors
are opened during the exit delay, they will also be bypassed if left
open.
If group 13 (instant perimeter) sensors are opened during the exit
delay, the panel goes into immediate alarm.
Exit extend On Determines whether the panel restarts the exit delay time if you
enter the armed premises during the initial exit delay period (on), or
not (off). Turning on this feature allows you to reenter during the
exit delay period, without disarming and then rearming the system.
Turning off this feature requires you to disarm and rearm the
system.
Auto arm must be on for this option to work.
Secure arming Off Determines whether an access code is required when arming the
system (on), or not (off). This option does not affect key fob
arm/disarm operation.
No arm on low
battery
Off Determines whether the system protests arming if a low CPU
battery condition exists (on), or not (off).
Quick exit Off Determines whether pressing Disarm when the system is armed
activates the exit delay time to allow exit and reentry without
disarming the system (on), or not (off). This feature is useful if you
want to step outside briefly and return. If the system is armed and
ou press Disarm, the panel announces Exit Time is On, and sounds
exit delay beeps. This allows a designated entry/exit door to open
for up to two minutes without causing alarm. When the door is
closed, the beeps stop and the door is armed again.
