Section 5: Operating Modes
5.1 Disarmed Mode
This is the state of the panel when disarmed. However, Fire, Personal Attack, Medical, Tamper and 24 Hr
inputs remain active 24 hours a day.
5.2 Armed Mode
When the panel is armed an activation of any Access, Immediate or 24 hour zone will cause an alarm
condition. When an alarm condition is generated the internal / external sounders and strobe outputs will
operate for the length of time the panel is programmed, or until the panel is reset by the user.
5.3 Arm Mode
When arming the control panel, any one of four arm modes can be selected. Each of these arm modes (A, B,
C and D) can be programmed with different configurations.
Arm A: Whole system armed, Premises empty–
Away.
Arm C: Upstairs armed, downstairs disarmed –
Home
Arm B: Upstairs disarmed, downstairs armed –
Home
Arm D: Garage armed, the house disarmed – Home
5.4 Entry / Exit Mode
Entry - When the panel is armed and an Entry zone is triggered the Entry timer will begin to countdown.
During this period an Entry / Exit tone (Single repeated bleep) will be produced by the internal sounder and
any zones which are programmed as Access zones will be ignored. If a correct user code is entered before
the end of the count down period the panel will return to disarmed mode. If the timer is allowed to elapse
before a user code is entered the panel will go into alarm state, in this case the system needs to be disarmed,
and will enter FTA mode (See below) disarmed.
Exit - Timed Exit, Silent Exit, Final Exit - Matrix control panels use different types of exit procedures. The
most popular exit type used is Timed Exit that can operate in two different ways depending on how the Global
System Options 2 are programmed: Procedure 1 - from disarmed mode enter user code. The panel will start
arming. If any zones are open then the exit timer will be delayed until the relevant zones are closed. At the
end of exit time and providing that all zones have been closed the panel will arm. Procedure 2 - from
disarmed mode enter user code. If any zones are open except Entry / Exit and Access the panel will give an
error tone and come back to disarmed mode. If all zones are closed except Entry / Exit and Access the panel
will start arming. If the Entry / Exit and Access zones are still open at the end of the exit time the panel will go
into alarm. If these are closed then it will arm. If during arming time an Immediate zone is open then the panel
will go into alarm.
5.5 Alarm Mode
With the panel in “Disarmed” or “Armed” mode, any of the 24h zones triggered by the system will be put into
alarm condition. With the panel in “Armed” mode, any of the Immediate zones triggered by the system will be
put into alarm condition.
5.6 Anti-Code Reset
After an alarm activation the user may disable the siren and bell only, to reset the system fully the user must
enter an anti-code. The seed code is a randomly generated 5-digit number displayed on the keypad, the seed
code should be given to whoever holds the anti-code generator, who in turn will provide a 4 digit anti-code,
which when entered will reset the panel. As a means of identifying the system, the installer can program the
first digit of the seed code.
