Security Sensors
WhenVivintSkyControlwasinstalledandconfiguredbyyourVivintFieldServiceProfessional,wire-
lesssecuritysensorswereplacedthroughoutyourhome.Thetechnician,afterconsultingwithyou,
selecteddoorsandwindowsaslikelyplaceswhereanintrusionmightoccurandcouldbedetected.
Somesensortypessuchassmokedetectors,carbonmonoxidedetectors,panicbuttons,etc.,are
alwaysactiveandcantriggeranalarmatanytime.Othersensorsonprotecteddoorsandwindows
arepartofhomesecurity(burglary)protection,andwilltriggeranalarmonlywhenthesecurityser-
viceisarmed.
TurningONthehomesecurityprotectionserviceiscalledArming.Homesecurityprotectioncanbe
armedinoneoftwomodes:
n Arm To Stay
n Arm To Leave
Arming to Stay Mode
ArmingtoStayModeisforarmingthehomesecurityservicewhenpeoplearestayinginthehouse.
StayModearmsthesensor‐protectedperimeterdoorsandwindowswhilenotarmingtheinterior
motionsensorsorotherinteriordoors.Thisallowsyourhometobeoccupiedwhilethesystemis
partiallyarmed.
StayModeisusedforarmingthesystemaftereveryoneisinsideandnooneisexpectedtoenteror
leave.WhenthesystemisarmedinStayMode,youcanmoveaboutyourhomewithouttriggering
thehomesecurityalarm.Alltheinteriorprotectionisoff.But,ifasensor-protectedperimeterdoor
orwindowisopened,analarmwillsound.
ThefollowingproceduredescribeshowtoarmthesysteminStayMode.Formoreinformation
aboutarmingoptions,seethesectionsbelow.
