Exit Delay Restart
The Exit Delay Restart option extends the Exit Delay one
time if you need to re-enter the premises. With the Exit
Delay Restart option, when you re-enter the premises after
you have left, but before the Exit Delay timer expires, the
Exit Delay timer restarts, giving you the full length of time to
leave again.
TIP: The Exit Delay Restart option only works once, each
time the system is armed.
Silent Control in Away Mode
Three options for silencing the beeps and announcements
are available when arming or disarming the system in Away
mode.
● On the Control Panel’s Home and Security screens, a
Silent Control button is displayed.
● On the Arming screen, a Silent Exit check box is
displayed.
● On the Exit Delay screen, a Silence button is
displayed.
Selecting any of these options silences the Control Panel
beeps and announcements. When arming, selecting Silent
Control doubles the length of the Exit Delay.
Quick Exit in Away Mode
A programmable option called Quick Exit may be displayed
on the Security screen while the system is armed in the
Away mode. Tapping the Quick Exit button starts a timer to
allow someone to exit or enter through a sensor-protected
door programmed for delay without having to disarm the
entire system. When the delay timer runs out, the system
returns to the normal Away mode.
TIP: If interior sensors are installed in the system in certain
areas, do not violate those sensors when using the Quick
Exit feature in Away mode.
Auto Stay Mode
The system may have been programmed by the installer
for Auto Stay mode. If this option is on and the system is
armed in Away mode, if an Exit/Entry Delay sensor is not
triggered before the Exit Delay expires (no one leaves the
premises), the system automatically arms in Stay mode
instead of Away mode.
NOTE: Quick options can be turned on or off by your
installer. Refer to "Installer Programmed Options", on page
34, to see which options have been set for your system.
Arming to Away Mode
Use the Away mode to arm the system when everyone
will be leaving the home. The Away mode normally has
an entry delay so someone with a user code can re-enter
without causing an alarm. Interior and perimeter sensors
are armed in the Away mode.
1 Close all sensor-protected doors and windows before
arming.
2 Verify that the
button on the Control Panel is
illuminated green, indicating that the system is Ready
to Arm. The Security button and Arm button on the
display will also be green when all perimeter sensors
are closed. If the icon is displayed on the status
bar, an interior sensor is open. Make certain to close or
manually bypass the interior sensors or an alarm will
occur.
3 To arm the system quietly without sounding any
announcements, tap the button before performing
the next steps:
● At the Arming screen check the Silent Exit box
Or
● During the Exit Delay, tap Silence
4 At the Security screen, or the Menu screen, tap Arm.
NOTE: If any perimeter door or window sensors are
open, the Bypass screen appears. Close all the sensors
displayed or tap Bypass All to force bypass the displayed
sensors.
NOTE: Bypassed sensors do not trigger an alarm.
To bypass sensors, enter a user code unless the installer
has set the system for Quick Bypass.
5 On the Arming screen, the Entry Delay check box
option can be used with Away mode.
● The system can be armed without an Entry Delay.
All perimeter doors trigger the alarm instantly. The
system has to be disarmed with a wireless key
fob. To arm with all exit/entry perimeter doors as
instant, clear the Entry Delay check box.
6 Tap Away.
To arm the system, enter a user code if your installer
has turned off the system’s Quick Arming feature.
