1.7 Force Arming

When one or more zones are faulted, the system may be Force Armed by bypassing the faulted zones. The green

Status light will be off on all

keypads when Force Arming is required to arm the system. The DS7447 display will read “Not Ready” or “Fire Trouble” (if a fire zone is open)

and the DS7443 and DS7445 zone LEDs (1-6) will be on if one of those zones is faulted. Ask your installation company if you desire this feature.

Force Arming during an AC power failure: Regular arming of the control panel is not permitted during an AC power failure. Having to Force Arm

serves as a warning that the control panel is operating under backup battery.

WARNING: Bypassing or Force Arming removes some of your building's protection because it excludes the faulted zones from arming.

Therefore, an intrusion may not be detected or the detection may be delayed. Always attempt to correct any zone problems (close

doors and windows, etc.) before using these features. If the problem can not be corrected, contact your installing company.

NOTE: See Section 1.9 Zone Bypass for an alternate method of arming the system when faults exist. Force arming is not available in

U. L. Listed systems.

** = Phone numbers 1 and 3 must be programmed. Phone #1 Account Code must be programmed.

1.17 Error Displays

Control panel problems are indicated by a flashing green

Power light. The DS7447 display will also read “Control Trouble, Enter [#] [8] [7].” The

DS7443 and DS7445 will only flash the green

Power light. The error messages may only be read when the control is disarmed. Contact your

installing company if the problems persist.
