3.2 About Everyday Operation
The HLX-24 system allows you to ensure the security of your home, both while
you are home and while you are away. The system allows you to control
attached subsystems and appliances such as garage doors, lights, heating, and
air conditioner via an expandable PGM output.
3.3 Arming Options
The following subsections describe the arming options available to the installer.
3.3.1 Arm Away
ARM AWAY is the full arming of the system, best used when there is no one is
at home or in the office. In Away mode, the system enters Alarm mode if there
is a zone violation, regardless of perimeter or interior type.
If the installer enabled the “Unvacated Premises” option, the system may
trigger Arm Home (Stay) mode automatically if the system was armed in Arm
Away mode, but there was no exiting from the delay zone during the exit
delay period.
To arm the system using AWAY:
1. Verify that the system is ready for arming.
2. Press the AWAY arming key.
3. Enter your user code.
If the user arms the system as AWAY by remote control, a squawk
acknowledgement is produced twice in the local sounders.
