Preparing to Arm
Before arming, make sure that READY is displayed.
This means that all zones are secured and you may
arm the system any way you choose.
When the system is not ready for arming (at least
one zone is open) the display is NOT READY TRBL
(trouble), NOT READY MEM (memory), NOT
READY MSG (message) or NOT READY BYPASS.
If the system is not ready for arming, click
to review the numbers and names of all open zones
one by one.
It is highly recommended to fix the open zone(s), thus
restoring the system to the state of “ready to arm”. If you
do not know how to do this, consult your installer.
IMPORTANT! All arming procedures below are
based on the assumption that quick arming has been
enabled by the installer. If quick arming is disabled,
the PowerMaxExpress will prompt you to enter your
security code before arming.
