11.4 Stay Arming
"Stay" arming allows the user to remain in the protected area while partially arming the system. This means that they can stay in
and move around the establishment, while certain designated zones are armed. For example, entry/exit points like doors or
windows, the basement, or perhaps all the zones on the perimeter of the establishment may be armed when going to sleep at
night, while the other zones remain deactivated. To program which zones will be activated when "stay arming" the system refer to
"System A"/Stay Zones in section 7.10.1. Also note that fire zones must be programmed as "stay zones"; they can not be
bypassed.
Unlike regular arming, the green "
READY" indicator does not have to be illuminated. Only doors and windows programmed as
"stay zones" must be closed, and there can be no movement in areas monitored by motion detectors in "stay zones". To "stay"
arm the system, press the [
STAY] key followed by a valid access code. If a mistake is made entering the code or if a "stay zone" is
open when entering the code, the keypad will emit a "rejection beep" (beeeeeeep). After entering the correct user access code,
the keypad will emit a "confirmation beep" (beep-beep-beep), the "
ARM" indicator will illuminate and the green "READY" indicator
and [STAY] key will flash during the exit delay period. During the final 10 sec. of the exit delay, the "READY" indicator and [STAY] key
will flash at a faster rate. At the end of the exit delay, the keypad will emit a "confirmation beep", the "READY" indicator will stop
flashing, the "
ARM" indicator will remain illuminated and the [STAY] key will flash. Note, to use this method the user must be given
"stay" arming priority, see Code Priority in section 8.12.
11.4.1 One-Key Stay Arming
To use this feature, enable the "One-Key" Stay/"System A" Arming option (see section 8.4). When all "stay zones" are
closed, pressing and holding the [STAY] key for 2 seconds will arm only zones programmed as "stay zones". For details
on "Stay Arming", refer to section 10.4.
11.4.2 One-Key Double Stay Arming
During the "stay" arming exit delay (see section 11.4), press and hold the [stay] key for 2 seconds until you hear a
single "beep". This will switch all "entry delay" zones to "instant" zones (see sections 7.6, 7.8 and 7.9). Therefore, any
entry delay zone that is breached will immediately generate an alarm instead of waiting a pre-determined period.
11.4.3 Fast Exit
This feature is only available when the system is "Stay" armed (see section 11.4). This feature will allow the user to exit
premises while the system is already armed and keep the system armed. This can be done one of two ways:
With the system already "stay" armed (after its exit delay), press and hold the [
STAY] key for 2 seconds. The system will
switch to exit delay mode (green "
READY" indicator flashes), allowing time for the user to exit the premises. At the end
of the exit delay period, the system will return to "stay" arm mode.
With the system already "stay" armed, press and hold the [10] key for 2 seconds. The system will switch to exit delay
mode (green "
READY" indicator flashes). At the end of the exit delay period, the system will "regular" arm the system
(see section 11.2).
11.5 Arming/Disarming Partitions
Thanks to the partitioning feature, two distinct systems (A and B) can be created and controlled by the control panel. Partitioning
can be used in installations where shared security systems are more practical, such as office/warehouse buildings, or apartment/
condominium complexes. Each zone can be assigned to System A, System B, both systems or given no system assignment.
User access codes can also be programmed to arm/disarm one system or both systems simultaneously (see Code Priority in
section 8.12). Unlike regular arming, the green "
READY" indicator does not have to be illuminated. All doors and windows
pertaining to the desired system must be closed, and there can be no movement in areas monitored by motion detectors in the
desired system.
1) If a user is not given any code priorities, the user can not arm or disarm a partitioned system.
2) If a user is given code priority to one of the two systems, entering the correct access code will arm or disarm the system to
which the user was given priority.
3) If a user is given code priority to arm/disarm both systems A & B, it will function as follows:
• If the User enters the correct access code when systems "A" and "B" are disarmed, it will completely arm both systems.
• If the User enters the correct access code when systems "A" and "B" are armed, it will completely disarm both systems.
• When the system is partially armed, (i.e. only “System A" or only “System B" is armed) entering the correct access code will
arm the other system.
• To arm/disarm each system separately, do the following:
Press [
STAY] + [VALID ACCESS CODE] to arm/disarm "System A".
Press [
AWAY] + [VALID ACCESS CODE] to arm/disarm "System B".
