3. Arming and Disarming the System
Basic Arming and Disarming
Following are a set of procedures for performing basic arming and disarming of the alarm system.
Preparing to Arm
Before arming, make sure that READY is displayed on the KP-250 PG2 keypad.
HH:MM READY
This indicates that all zones are secured and you may arm the system as desired.
If at least one zone is open (disturbed) the display will read:
HH:MM NOT READY
This indicates that the system is not ready for arming and in most cases that one or more
zones are not secured. However, it can also mean that an unresolved condition exists
such as certain trouble conditions, jamming etc., depending on system configuration.
To review the open zones click on the KP-250 PG2 keypad. The details and location of the first open zone
detector (usually an open door or window sensor) will be displayed. To fix the open zone, locate the sensor and secure
it (close the door or window) – see "device locator" below. Each click of on the KP-250 PG2 keypad will display
another open zone or trouble indication. It is highly recommended to fix the open zone(s), thus restoring the system to
the state of “ready to arm”. If you do not know how to do this, consult your installer.
Note: To quit at any stage and to revert to the "READY" display, click on the KP-250 PG2 keypad.
Device Locator: The PowerMaster system has a powerful device locator that helps you to identify open or troubled
devices indicated on the LCD display. While the LCD displays an open or faulty device, the LED on the respective
device flashes indicating "it's me". The "it's me" indication will appear on the device within max. 16 seconds and will
last for as long as the LCD displays the device.
Arming ‘AWAY' / ‘HOME'
If the system is READY and/or Forced Arming is enabled proceed as shown below. For more information on Forced
Arming, see "Forced Arming AWAY or HOME" below.
If the system is NOT READY and Forced Arming is not permitted, review any open zone detectors to locate and secure
them.
If you want to arm using partitions, see "Partition Selection Process" and then proceed as shown below.
If the user has changed the state of the system from a high security mode to a lower security mode i.e. from ARM to
DISARM, or from AWAY to HOME, he will be prompted to enter the user code or to present his proximity tag thus
bypassing the QUICK ARM option.
