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
