3. Arming and Disarming the System
10 D-304269 KP-250 PG2 User’s Guide
Arming in the Latchkey Mode
This mode, if enabled by the installer, is useful for a parent at work who wants to be sure that his children have returned
from school and have disarmed the system. A special “latchkey” message will be sent out when the system is disarmed
by a “latchkey user”.
Latchkey users are holders of user codes or users of keyfob transmitters 5-8 (PowerMaster-10 G2) / 23-32
(PowerMaster-30 G2 / PowerMaster-33 G2). The latchkey message is considered an alert and not an alarm, and is
therefore sent to the private telephones programmed by the user as targets for alert messages.
Latchkey arming is possible only when you arm “AWAY”. To arm in the Latchkey mode, proceed as follows:
PRESS RESULTING DISPLAY
ARMING AWAY
ARMING LATCHKEY
PLEASE EXIT NOW
Vacate the premises
(Exit delay)

Note: Latchkey must be enabled by your installer.
