Armed/Disarmed
Arming the system (burglar zones)

Armed/on.

A Central Station/Monitoring Service is
a facility used to continuously monitor
phone signals from your system.
Trained personnel there dispatch
proper authorities as necessary.
Common Area
A Common Area is an area that is
connected to another partition or all the
partitions. It may be used as a
common entry way to separate
partitions. A Master keypad would
normally be found in the Common Area.
A Common Area is only armed when
all the partitions it is connected to are
armed. It is disarmed when at least one
of the partitions it is connected to is
disarmed.
Custom Arming
Custom Arming is a type of arming that
uses the [#] [4] sequence. It is only a
valid sequence if programmed by the
installing company. It is a specific type
of arming designed for your individual
installation needs. Ask your installing
company to explain Custom Arming
further.
Disarming Command Sequence
The Disarming Command Sequence is
the sequence of keys you press at the
keypad to disarm the system and/or
silence alarms. It consists of your PIN
followed by the command (#) button.
Entry Delay
An Entry Delay is a predetermined
amount of time that allows entry into
an armed area.
Exit Delay
An Exit Delay is a predetermined
amount of time that allows you to exit
an area just after you have armed it.
Faulted Zone
A Faulted Zone is a zone that is not
ready to arm (i.e. an open door or
window). It may also be described as
being violated.
Force Arming
Force Arming is a way of arming the
system by bypassing zones that are not
ready to arm. This reduces the level of
security and should be avoided.
