5. Operating the Alarm System
Introduction
Before attempting to operate the alarm system ensure you have
familiarised yourself with all the arming and disarming methods
covered in this section.
Access Codes
If you make a mistake whilst entering your Access code,
simply enter the correct Access code.
Arming & Disarming the Alarm System
Checking if the System is Ready to Arm
To help prevent faults during arming, a Ready light has been
provided on each keypad. The Ready light works as follows:
If the Ready light is on steady then the alarm system is ready
to be armed.
If the Ready light is flashing then the alarm system has
bypassed zones and/or Force Armable zones that are violated,
check these zones before proceeding.
If the Ready light is off then one or more zones are violated,
either secure or bypass these zones before proceeding. The
keypads will display the zones that are violated:
Zone 04 Atie
Patio oor
Zone 01 Atie
Front oor
b@
e
If any unbypassed zones that are not enabled for “Force
Arming” are violated at the end of the exit delay this is
termed an exit error and the alarm system will go into fail set
state (internal alarm). If programmed by the installer the
external bell will also sound. Enter a valid user Access code
to silence this alarm.
A zone will only be armed when ALL associated partitions
are armed but will be disarmed when ANY associated
partition is disarmed.
Away Arming
The Away arming mode is normally used when leaving the
premises. When the system is armed in this mode all detection
zones assigned to your partition(s) will be armed.
The Ready light must be on steady before the alarm system can be
Away armed.
To Away arm the alarm system proceed as follows:

If the Quick Arm feature is enabled (see page 42) you can
omit step 1 from the above procedure.
Stay Arming
The Stay arming mode is normally used when the premises
will be occupied. When the system is armed in this mode all
Interior detection zones assigned to your partition(s) will be
bypassed. Before Stay arming check the following:
Secure or bypass any perimeter zones that are violated.
Ensure no perimeter zones are bypassed unintentionally.
Ensure no perimeter Force Armable zones are violated
unintentionally.
To Stay arm the alarm system proceed as follows:
