XR500 User’s Guide 9Arming and Disarming
System Arming Operation
Area Assignment: Your security system has been set up into
separate areas. The number of areas and their names are listed in
the back of this guide.
Arming or Disarming: You can arm and disarm all areas at one
time or each area individually. You can only arm or disarm areas
authorized for your user code.
Arm all or Selective Arming: After entering your user code, the
system allows you to arm either all of the areas to which you have
access or one or more selected areas. If you choose to arm all
areas, the system begins verifying that all zones in those areas
are in a good condition. If you choose to arm selected areas, the
system prompts you to choose the areas you want to arm.
After making your arming selection, the keypad displays any zones
that are currently bypassed. These zones remain by passed until
the system is armed and then disarmed. Any 24-hour zones in a
faulted condition also display.
Bypassing Zones: Before arming, the system veriÞ es that all doors,
win dows, and other protection devices to be armed are in normal
condition. If everything is veriÞ ed, the system arms. If there is
a prob lem on one or more burglary zones, the system cannot arm
until the problem is corrected. If the problem is simply an open
door or window, correct the problem and try arming again.
If the problem cannot be corrected, you can force arm or bypass
the zone or wait until the zone can be repaired by a service
technician. A force armed zone is ignored by the system until
it restores to normal. A bypassed zone is ignored by the system
during the entire armed period. A zone remains bypassed until the
system is disarmed.
In some cases, you might see the keypad display FRONT DOOR —
FAULT. The keypad then displays priority zone which is a zone that
cannot be bypassed. The problem on the zone must be corrected
before the system can be armed.
Armed Message: After completing all zone bypasses or correcting
all zone faults, the keypad brieß y displays ALL SYSTEM ON if all
areas in the system are arming and SYSTEM ON if only selected
areas are arming. The keypad then displays the exit delay time
as it counts down. When the exit delay time ex pires, all disarmed
zones are armed.
If your system uses a keyswitch to arm an area, the exit delay time
does NOT show on the keypad display.
ONE MOMENT . . . Message: If your system is monitored, it may
be programmed to wait for the arming report transmission to the
central station before displaying the armed mes sage. (See Arming
Report below.) This veriÞ es your phone lines are working properly.
While the system is waiting for the transmission, the display reads
ONE MO MENT... If the report is received, the keypad displays the
armed message. If the report is not received, the keypad displays
LOCAL ALARM ONLY before displaying the armed message.
Arming Report: Your system can be programmed to send arming or
zone bypassing reports to a central station. This feature is optional
and can be programmed for you at any time.
