3.7.6: Forced Arming
Forced arming enables you to arm the system when the system is not ready. For
example, if a door protected by a magnetic contact is open, you may arm the system on
condition that the door will be closed by the end of the Exit delay. If the door is still open
after the exit delay expires, an alarm is generated.
Two conditions enable you to perform Forced arming:
• Forced arming is enabled – see 9.3.1: Forced Arm.
• The sensor that is causing the System Not Ready condition is Force
Arm enabled – see 7.6.5: Force Arm.
3.7.7: Instant Arming
Instant arming is a feature that allows you to cancel the entry delay after Part or
Perimeter arming the system. For this feature to function, it must be enabled in
programming – see 9.3.4: Instant Arm.
To instantly arm the system.
1. Check if the system is ready to arm.
2. Press the Part or Perimeter arming key on the keypad and enter your
user code if One-Key Arming is disabled.
3. Press and hold down on your keypad until the message Instant
Arming, OK? is displayed
4. Press ; the entry delay for the current arming period is canceled.
3.7.8: Disarming
When a sensor is tripped, the entry delay counts down; each arming method has its own
entry delay.
To disarm the system:
• Enter a valid user code.
,
If the Cancel Alarm feature is enabled (see 9.18: Cancel Alarm), disarming the system within
five minutes of an alarm causes the control system to send an Alarm Canceled event to the
central station. In this case, a message is displayed on the keypads’ LCD and the control
system does not allow any local function to be performed until
9
is pressed for confirmation.
3.8: Remote Arming/Disarming via SMS
You can arm and disarm the system remotely by sending the SMS commands from a
cellular phone to the cellular communications module. Additionally, you can check the
arm status of the system by sending an Arm Status request message.
Each SMS command contains the following elements:
SMS Command Descriptor (up to 43 characters of free text)
# (delimiter – separates the descriptor from the actual command)
User Code (4 digits)
Command (120=Disarm, 121=Full Arm, 122=Part Arm, 123=Perimeter Arm,
124=Full + Perimeter Arm, 125=Part + Perimeter Arm, 200 = Arm Status)
The following example shows the format of an SMS command for arming the system:
