system. If the Ready light is off, ensure all protected doors and windows are secure or bypassed.
To arm the system, enter a valid access code. To disarm, enter a valid access code.
During exit delay, the Armed and Ready indicators turn on and the keypad beeps once every second during the exit delay
(and three times a second during the last 10 seconds) to alert the user to leave via a delay zone. The Ready light turns off
when the Exit Delay ends.
When the exit delay has expired, the system is armed as indicated by the following conditions:

- 11 -

Section 3: Operation

l the Ready indicator turns off.
l the Armed indicator stays on.
l the panel is silent.

Note: In Away Arming mode, bypassed zones are logged and communicated to the central monitoring station.

3.2.2 Stay Arming

Note: Requires at least one zone defined as Interior Stay/Away or Delay Stay/Away for this function to work.

Stay Arming is intended to arm the perimeter of the premises while permitting movement within. The Ready light must be on
to arm the system. If the Ready light is off, ensure all protected doors and windows are secure or bypassed. To Stay arm the
system, enter a valid user code and stay within the premises (do NOT violate a zone programmed as Delay). The Armed
light turns on once a function key is pressed or an access code is entered. The Ready indicator turns off and the Armed
indicator turns on when the exit delay ends.

Note: In Stay Arming mode, all bypassed stay/away zones are logged and communicated to the central monitoring station.

3.2.3 Quick Arming

Quick arming enables users to arm the system via touchscreen or wirefree keypad without entering an access code. This
provides a fast method of arming for regular users and allows users without an access code to arm the system. The Quick
Arming feature must be enabled in order for this function to operate. See "Quick Arm" on page 18.

3.2.4 Disarming

The user must enter through a door programmed as Delay. Upon entering, the panel emits a steady entry delay tone (and a
pulsing tone during the last 10 seconds of entry delay) to alert the user to disarm the system. To disarm the system, enter a
valid user code or use a wireless key. If an alarm occurred while the panel was armed, the keypad numbers corresponding
to the violated zones are illuminated. If the system is disarmed using a method other than the keypad (e.g., wireless key),
the panel emits three squawks to indicate alarm in memory.

partitions and system events. All other reporting formats use
a 4-digit system account number to report system main­tenance (e.g., low battery, zone fault) and test transmission
events. To program a 4-digit system account number, enter
4 digits followed by FF.
