The LCD options menu contains options that can be set for LCDs and menus. 
8.3.1 Armed display 
 
If the Armed display mode is Always, the armed display activates after the 
programmed idle time. The armed display timeout is programmed in “8.1.3.1

The armed display deactivates when performing any action that requires an 
authorization with a valid user code or badge.  
You can select one of the following armed display options: 
•  Off: Armed display is disabled.   
•  If set: Armed display activates only when the area is set. No status 
information is displayed on keypad LCD and LEDs (except mains LED and 
Alert message).   
•  Always: Armed display always activates. No status information is displayed 
on keypad LCD and LEDs (except mains LED and Alert message).   
•  Without code: Armed display always activates. No area LED is lit. 
Note: This mode also allows you to deactivate the armed display pressing the 
Clear key.

punctuation.
