SENSOR STATUS
The security system constantly monitors all of the sensors attached to the protected doors and windows in your home or
business. The Control Panel knows if each door or window with sensors is open or closed. The open or closed condition
of the protected doors and windows is called the sensor status.
For maximum security, all the doors and windows on your premises should be closed when you leave the building. In
some cases, such as when using the security system when you stay at home, you may want to leave some doors or
windows open. The system recognizes bypasses to resolve the open doors or windows. See "Bypassing/Un-Bypassing
Sensors" on page 11.
NOTE: Before you can arm the system, you must close or bypass all doors and windows with sensors.
CHECKING FOR CLOSED SENSORS
In most cases, you will be arming the security system with all of the sensor-protected doors and windows closed. The
Control Panel provides easy ways to verify that all the sensor-protected doors and windows are closed before arming the
system:
● The Home button lights blue when all perimeter sensors are closed. The Home button is not lit if any
perimeter sensor is open. Open interior sensors do not change this indication.
● The Security button on the display’s Home screen lights green when all perimeter sensors are closed. The Security
button lights orange if any perimeter sensor is open. Open interior sensors do not change this indication.
● The Arm button on the display’s Security screen and Menu screen lights green when all perimeter sensors are
closed. If any interior sensors are open (or when any motion detector is triggered), a house icon displays on the
status bar. The Arm button lights orange if any perimeter sensor is open.
