Arm Away Enables all exterior and interior security protection provided by door and window
sensors and motion detectors.
Arm Custom Allows authorized users to arm the system with selected zones bypassed or with
entry delays disabled.
Arm Home Enables exterior protection; sounds an alarm if protected doors or windows are
disturbed. Allows bypassing of selected zones, permitting movement within the
home without unwanted alarms.
Bypass Allows authorized users to exclude selected protection zones when arming the
system.
Disarm Turns off the security portion of the system. Silences alarms and trouble
indicators.
Duress Special code that can be entered into the system instead of a normal user code.
Sends a silent call for assistance while the Gateway appears to behave normally.
Requires connection to a central monitoring service.
Emergency Special keys on the Gateway activate sounders on the premises and optionally
send alert messages in various types of emergency. Connection to a central
monitoring service is required for outside emergency calls.
Quick Arm Allows household members to arm the system without entering a user code. This
feature can only be enabled by an authorized user.
Quick Exit Allows an outside door to be opened for a set time period. This feature is used for
checking the mailbox, retrieving the newspaper, etc.
Zone Specific areas of protection in your home. Sensing devices are assigned to these
numbered Zones, with designations such as front door, kitchen window, etc. Zone
numbers appear on the display when an alarm or fault occurs.
Controller The
controller is the main device used to set up and control the Z-Wave
network. There can only be one primary controller and it must be used to
add/Include or delete/Exclude devices. A primary controller can be a portable
device such as a hand-held remote, a permanently mounted control panel, a Z-
Wave enabled PC or a Z-Wave enabled Ethernet router/bridge.
A
controller cannot be used to add or delete devices. If the secondary
controller is the same model as the primary, it has all of the primary’s capabilities,
but cannot be used to add or delete devices.
Exclude When a device is Excluded, it is removed from the system. Excluding the device
also removes the network pairing from the device’s memory. In this document,
the term Exclude is used interchangeably with “Delete”.
Include Including a device pairs it with the Gateway so the two can communicate. In this
document, the term Include is used interchangeably with “Add”.
Important Note: A device must be Excluded before it can be moved to another network or re-
Included after using the Defaulting the Controller option.
