System Information
Touch the logo and then Version Information to display technical information about your Home Security Touchscreen. If you ever need to contact technical support, they might request some of the information from this screen.
Most of the information on the Version Information screen is text, but in the top-right corner are the icons shown at left. These icons provide information about the signal strength of your Wi-Fi and cellular connections between the gateway and the Home Security Touchscreen. The curved bars at the top indicate your Wi-Fi signal strength:
•White. The Home Security Touchscreen and gateway are communicating using Wi-Fi.
•Red. The Home Security Touchscreen and gateway are not communicating using Wi-Fi. If you connect with an Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi, this icon is red.
The double arrow indicates the broadband connection status of the gateway.
•White. The gateway is communicating with the server.
•Red. The gateway is not communicating with the server. The bars at the bottom indicate your cellular signal strength.
•White bars. White bars indicate the signal strength of the Home Security Touchscreen's cellular connection. Five bars represents the best signal strength.
•Red dashes. Five red dashes indicate that the Home Security Touchscreen has no cellular connection.
See Chapter 5, Troubleshooting, for ways to improve your signal strength.
Access Codes
Some actions require that you enter an access code. The Home Security Touchscreen supports three types of access codes, and they are briefly described here. You access the access code settings with the Settings button. See Access Codes on page 47.
•Master code. The main access code for the Security panel. The master access code is required to add, edit, or delete user access codes, and to change certain settings.
•User code. Access codes for additional users. They are generally given to family members and service workers. User codes are used to arm and disarm the Security panel, but they cannot disarm parts of (subdisarm) the Security panel or make changes to the master code or other user access codes. The Security panel is one of the security settings that is accessed with the Settings button. See Security Panel on page 40 for information about the Security panel and other related topics.
Note: The Security panels on some systems have only a master access code.
• Installer code. A code used by the system installer to access advanced features during installation.

Home Security Touchscreen HSS101
Bypassing Sensors
Use the bypass function to temporarily disarm a sensor that would otherwise trigger an alarm. In general, you can bypass sensors only when they are active and capable of generating an alarm. This feature is useful in the following situations:
•The system is already armed and you want to open a particular non-entry door or window (for example, to let the cat out).
•You need to temporarily disable an otherwise always-on sensor, such as a smoke detector, when you are cooking a very smoky dish. Do not forget to turn the smoke detector back on when you are done!
Note: The Security panel on some systems lets you temporarily disable all always-on sensors by setting the system to Subdisarm. On some systems, Subdisarm is not an option and you have to bypass the sensors (direct bypass). Some sensors cannot be bypassed. See Subdisarm the System on page 20 for more information.
•When you touch Bypass on the Sensors screen, the Sensor Bypass screen displays with a list of all of your sensors and the bypass state of each. If your system allows it, you can temporarily bypass a sensor by switching its On/Off switch to On.
In the following screen, the motion sensor and smoke detector are not assigned to groups that allow bypassing. The front door and liquor cabinet (door and window sensors) are assigned to groups that allow bypassing, so theirs are the only active bypass switches.
Figure 13. Choose sensors to temporarily bypass
When you no longer want to bypass a sensor, switch it to Off either on this screen or on the Sensor Details screen. On some systems, you have to arm and then disarm the system through the Security panel to turn the bypass off. Note that this sequence turns bypass off for all sensors.

ARM and DISARM Buttons
When your system is disarmed, the ARM button displays on the Security bar. To arm the system, touch ARM. The ARM button lets you arm your entire system when you are leaving the house, or only your doors and windows when you are staying home.
Arm Button
When you touch ARM, the Arm options display. Depending on which Security panel you have and which options are enabled, one or more of the following options might appear on this screen:
Arm All or Arm Away. Any triggered security-related sensor (including interior motion detectors and interior doors) results in an alarm and notifies the appropriate authority.
If you select this option but the system does not detect an entry/exit door being opened and closed afterwards, the Security panel arms doors and windows as described in the following paragraph.
Arm Doors & Windows or Arm Stay. Only events associated with your exterior doors and windows trigger an alarm. This mode is useful when someone is at home but wants the system to be armed. The system ignores interior sensors in this mode.
The Home Security Touchscreen does not currently support the Arm Motions or Arm Night Stay options that are available on some Security panels. If you set Arm Motions or Arm Night Stay on the security keypad, the touch screen status indicates that the system is in the Armed Motions or Armed Night Stay state.
Entry Delay or Entry/Exit Delay. This option is not available on all Security panels. If it is available and turned on, the security system allows a prescribed amount of time for you to:
•Enter the access code after you open the entry door. A keypad displays the number of seconds remaining to enter the access code before the Security panel sounds an alarm.
•Open, walk out, and close the door when exiting. A count-down timer displays on the System icon, indicating how much time you have left to exit the premises. At the end of that time, the system is armed, and if anyone opens a door or window or triggers a motion sensor, the Security panel sounds an alarm. If this option is available and turned off, there is no delay. The alarm sounds as soon as the entry/exit door opens.
Note: The only time you should turn off the entry delay is when you are staying in the house or using a button remote such as a key fob.
Exit Sound or Silent Exit. This option is not available on all Security panels. The exit delay is the amount of time between the time you send the arm command to the Security panel and the time the entry/exit door is actually armed. It is the amount of time you are allowed to exit the premises through the entry/exit door without setting off an alarm.
• When this option is off, the Security panel chimes after you send the arm command until the exit delay period is complete.
Security Bar
18
Home Security Touchscreen HSS101
•When this option is on, the Security panel does not chime during the exit delay. Turning this option on is useful when you want to leave the house and arm the security system, but you do not want to wake people who are sleeping in the house.
•Except for Silent Exit, these settings remain in effect until you explicitly change them.
•When the system is armed, the system icon changes to red, and the ARM button changes to DISARM.
DISARM Button
To disarm the system, touch DISARM, enter your access code, and touch OK. Refer to the documentation for your Security panel for more information about arming and disarming the security system.
Quick Exit
When your security system is armed, you can use the Quick Exit method to quickly open and close an entry/exit door without fully disarming the system. The Quick Exit method temporarily disarms the entry/exit doors and arms them again after a brief period of time (generally 120 seconds, depending on your system configuration). You might find it convenient to use this method when you want to take in your mail or newspaper or let someone in, but do not want to disarm the system fully and then re-arm it a moment later.
To use the Quick Exit method, touch DISARM but do not enter the security code when the numeric keypad displays.
The system disarms entry/exit doors and displays the numeric keypad in anticipation of receiving the code. At this point, you can safely open a door or window once and close it again without entering the code. When the door or window closes, and you do not enter the code after the configured period of time, the security system returns to the previous armed state, and the numeric keypad disappears.
Trouble Arming
If you attempt to arm the system when a sensor is in a faulted state such as when a door or window is open, the Trouble Arming warning appears.
