Arming and Disarming the System
Arming and Disarming the System
Stay Arm (Arming the Perimeter)
Ask your alarm company if this function is available on your system.
Stay arming bypasses the interior protection (i.e., motion sensors) and arms the perimeter of the system (i.e., doors
and windows). Close all sensors (i.e., stop motion and close doors). The Ready () indicator should be on. Press
the Stay Arm button and/or enter your Access Code and do not leave the premises (if your installer has pro-
grammed this button). During exit delay, the Armed ( ) and Ready()indicators turn on to visually indicate
that the system is arming.
When the exit delay expires, the Ready LED turns off, the Armed LED remains on and the keypad stops sounding
to indicate that the alarm system is armed.
Note: For SIA FAR listed panels, the Stay Arming exit delay will be twice as long as the Away Arming exit
delay.
Silent Exit Delay
If the system is armed using the Stay Arm button or using the "No Entry" Arming method ([*][9][access code], the
audible progress annunciation (keypad buzzer) is silenced and the exit time doubled for that exit period only (CP01 versions only).
Note: For non CP-01 versions, Standard exit time is used.
When Stay Arm is selected from the Home screen:
l The display indicates “Exit Delay in Progress,” and the pre-programmed exit delay begins.
l The Armed LED Indicator turns on.
If Quick Arm is not enabled by the installer, then a numerical keypad is displayed (see following figure). Enter a
valid access code to proceed.

Arming and Disarming the System
Bell/Siren Sounds After Away Arming
Audible Exit Fault
In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the Audibl e Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an improper exit when
arming t he system in the Away mode. In the event that you fail to exit the premises during the allotted exit delay
period, or if you do not securely close the Exit/Entry door, the system will notify you that it was improperly
armed in two ways: the keypad will emit one continuous beep and the bell or siren will sound.
Your installer will tell you if this feature has been enabled on your system. If this occurs:
1. Re-enter the premises.
2. Enter your access code to disarm the system. You must do this before the entry delay timer expires.
3. Follow the Away arming procedure again, making sure t o close the entry/exit door properly.
Arming Error
An error tone will sound if the system is unable to arm. Thi s will happen if the system is not ready to arm (i.e.,
sensors are open), or if an incorrect user code has been entered. If this happens, ensure all sensors are secure. Press
[#] and try again, ensuring that a valid access code is entered. Please check with your installer to determine if arming is inhibited by any other means.
Remote Arming and Disarming
The system can be armed and/or disarmed using the remote wireless key or proximity tag. When arming the system by using the Arm button on the wireless key, the system will acknowledge the command by sounding a
single bell squawk (if bell squawk is enabled). When disarming using the Disarm button on the wireless key, the
system will acknowledge the command by sounding two bell squawks (if bell squawk is enabled) that can be
heard from the exterior of the premises.
To arm the syst em with a proximity tag:
l Present your proximity tag to a keypad equipped with a proximity sensor anytime the system Ready
indicator is on.
l If configured by your installer, enter your access code.
To disarm the system with a proximity tag:
l Present your proximity tag to a keypad equipped with a proximity sensor anytime the system is armed.
(Armed indicator is on) and if configured as required, enter your access code.
l If you walk through the entry door the keypad will beep. Present your Proximity tag within ____
seconds to avoid an alarm condition.
Using Your System
This section provides additional information about how to use your alarm system.
Note: The priority of signals is fire alarm, carbon monoxide alarm and medical alarm, then burglary alarm.
Note: Medical alarm is silent. It only results in an alarm transmission to the monitoring station.
Intrusion (Burglary) Alarm Continuous Siren
If you are unsure of the source of the alarm, approach with caution! If the alarm was accidental,
enter your Access Code to silence the alarm. Call your central station to avoid a dispatch.

alarm. Call your central station to avoid a dispatch. Ask your alarm company if your system has been equipped
with fire detection. To reset the detectors, see the Sensor Reset section.
Wireless Carbon Monoxide Alarm
Activation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO), which can be fatal. During an alarm,
the red LED on the CO detector flashes rapidly and the buzzer sounds with a repeating cadence of: 4 quick beeps,
5-second pause, 4 quick beeps. Also, during an alarm, the siren connected to the control panel produces a repeating cadence of 4 quick beeps, 5-second pause, 4 quick beeps. The keypad will also provide audible and visual
indication of the CO alarm.
If an Alarm Sounds:
1. Operate silence button.
2. Call emergency services or your fire department.
3. Immediately move outdoors or to an open door/window.

Keypad Mode
This option allows the HS2TCHP E Touchscreen to function as a traditional DSC keypad.
Managing Partitions
A partition is a limited area of the premises which operates independently from the other areas. Partitioning a system can be beneficial if the property has outbuildings that need to be secured independently of a main area or if
the home has a separate apartment. Each partition can have its own keypad, or a keypad can have access to all partitions. User access to partitions is controlled via access code. A master code can access the entire system and partitions, while a user code is limited to assigned partitions.
Partitions
Keypads can be configured to control an individual partition or all partitions.
Note: Access to this feature must be configured by your installer.
Single Partition Operation
Single partition keypads provide access to alarm functionality for an assigned partition.
Single partition keypads behave as follows:
l Displays the armed set state of the partition.
l Displays open zones, if assigned to the partition the keypad is on.
l Displays bypassed zones and allows zone bypassing or creating bypass groups of zones assigned to the
keypad partiti on.
l Displays system troubles (system low battery, system component faults/tampers).
l Displays alarms in memory that occurred on the partition.
l Allows the door chime to be Enabled/disabled.
l System test (sounds bells/PGMs assigned to the partition).
l Label programming (zone, partition and user labels for the partition).
l Command output controls (outputs assigned to the partition, or global outputs such as smoke detector
reset).
l Temperatures.
Loaning a Keypad to Another Partition
The HS2TCHP Touchscreen Keypad can be loaned to operate on other partitions. When a keypad is loaned to
another partition, it will behave on the loaned partition as if it was originally assigned there. An access code must
be entered before loaning a keypad to anot her partition. An access code is also required to perform any function
on that partition.
To loan a keypad to another partition:

3. Using the numerical pad, enter the phone number of the phone you want to authorize and press Save.
Sending SMS Commands to your System
In order to successfully send commands to your system from your cellphone, you must send SMS messages in the
proper format. If configured, commands require the inclusion of a User Access Code in your message. The access
code will be verified by the system before executing any commands.
Additional information about sending SMS commands:
l Text messages are not case sensitive and extra spaces are ignored.
l In multi-partition systems and if the User has rights to manage the desired partitions, commands can be
sent to specific partitions by including the partition number. For more information on partitions see:
"Managing Partitions".
l If the panel is configured to require an Access Code and the code is not sent or is invalid, the panel will
send a notification to the user advising the command was unsuccessful.
The following table lists all available SMS commands with examples of how to enter the Partition number and
access codes. The format for entering commands is as follows:
Note: Verify with your installer that the Partition number and access code are required in your SMS message. If
one or both are not required, do not enter them in your SMS message.
Note: Responses to Status and Alarm Memory requests may require more than 1 SMS message, depending on
status of the system. There is a 10 second delay between transmission of SMS messages.

Testing Your Entire System
All smoke detectors in this installation must be tested by your smoke detector installer or dealer once a year to
ensure they are functioning correctly. It is the user’s responsibility to test the system weekly (excluding smoke
detectors). Ensure you follow all the steps in the “Testing Your Keypad Sounder and Siren” section.
Note: Should the system fail to function properly, call your installation company for service immediately.
1. Prior to testing, ensure that the system is disarmed and the Ready light is on.
2. Close all zones t o return the system to the Ready state.
3. Perform a System Test by following the steps in the “Testi ng Your Keypad Sounder and Siren” section.
4. To test the zones, activate each detector in turn (e.g., open each door/window or walk in motion detector
areas).
On an HS2TCHP E keypad, the following message will be displayed when each zone (detector) is activated:
“Ready to Force,” “Not Ready”. Use the zone status button to view which zones are open. The message will disappear when the zones are closed.
Note: Some features described above will not be functional unless enabled by your installer. Ask your installer
which features are functional on your system.
Walk Test Mode
The installer can initiate a Walk Test mode for the system. While in Walk Test mode, the Ready, Armed, and
Trouble LEDs will flash to indicate that Walk Test is active. When the system automatically terminates the Walk
Test mode, it will annunciate with an audible warning (5 beeps every 10 seconds), beginning five minutes prior to
the termination of the test.
Allowing Computer Access To Your System
