Introduction

have familiarised yourself with all the arming and disarming
methods covered in this section.

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:
Active zones are s crolled
in s equence on LCD keypads
Active zones are indicated by
the relevant z one lig hts on
LED Keypads

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.
