17. AUTO ARM/DISARM
To automatically arm and/or disarm areas, timezones are used. Areas being armed or
disarmed automatically do not require any user action.
17.1. Auto arm/disarm program
Enter the program number (1 –16 available).
17.1.1. Timezone to arm/disarm
Enter the timezone to be used for automatic arming/disarming. When the timezone
becomes valid (at the start time) the area disarms. When the specific timezone expires (at
the end time) the areas arm.
 See also Timezones on page 95.
17.1.2. Alarm group to auto arm/disarm
The alarm group is used to determine which areas are automatically armed or disarmed,
and if the specified areas are to be automatically armed, disarmed or both.
If an alarm group restriction is linked to the alarm group, the automatic arming can be
postponed by a preset time (alarm group restriction disarmed time, see Timers on page
61).
 The settings in the alarm group determine the exact operation of this function. The
function follows all the guidelines of the alarm group regarding alarm control. For
example, if the alarm group setting for Arm and Reset only is set to YES, then the
areas assigned will only automatically arm.
If the alarm group setting for disarm only is set to YES, then the assigned areas will
only automatically disarm. See Alarm groups (page 51), for further information.
If the alarm group setting for any alarm group restriction is set to YES, then a user
can extend the time that the area(s) are disarmed for a specified period. See Using
alarm group restrictions in conjunction with auto arm/disarm below for further
information.
 Each combination of a timezone and an alarm group is called a program. There are
16 programs, one for each possible area. A different program must be completed
for each area, or set of areas, where you require different functions. e.g. disarm at
different times.
 When programming alarm groups, a timezone can be assigned to the alarm group
to specify when the alarm group is valid. The alarm group assigned to an
arm/disarm timer program does not require a timezone in the alarm group.
If both the alarm group and the auto arm/disarm have a timezone, check that the
timezone in the alarm group does not conflict with the timezone for automatic arm/disarm.
