Understanding Arming Modes
You can arm the system for multiple scenarios:
Arm Away—Everybody leaving
Arm Stay—People active inside (see page 25)
Arm Night—Everybody going to bed (see page 26)
Different arming modes use different rules for when sensors are tripped and for Entry/Exit delays. An Exit
delay is a short period of time after the system is armed for you to leave the premises (default 60
seconds). Entry delay gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter the premises (default 30
seconds). You must enter a valid keypad code within the Entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.
Consult with your installer or Customer Care representative to customize the Entry/Exit delays on your
system.
Note: After the alarm is faulted the Alarm Transmission Delay period starts (see page 30).
