    2) Press the Hash [#] button.
    3) The keypad will beep 2 times when the panel is disarmed.

  • Bypassing (Switching Off) Zones on Arming

    Manual bypass programming allows you to program the alarm system to ignore (deactivate) specified zones the next time the system is armed.
    For example, you may wish to bypass certain zones when workers are renovating part of your establishment.
    Please note that a Fire Zone cannot be bypassed.
    1) Press the Star [*] button twice.
    2) Select the zones that you wish to bypass by pressing the corresponding zone number.
    3) Press the Star [*] button to save the bypassed zone entry.

    6) The keypad will beep twice and, the selected zones will be bypassed next time the system is armed.

  • Force Arming the Alarm

    Forcing arming allows you to rapidly arm the system without waiting for all zones in the system to close. During Force Arming, a Force zone is considered “deactivated” until it closes, after which the system will arm that zone. Force arming is commonly used when a motion detector is protecting the area occupied by a keypad.
    For example, when arming the system from within a Force zone, the system will allow you to arm even if the zone is open and, the system will arm the zone once it closes.
    1) Press the Hash [#] button.
    2) Two beeps will be heard.
    3) The AWAY LED/LCD segment will now illuminate and the exit delay will commence.

  • Home (Stay) Arming the Alarm

    This method allows you to remain in the protected area while partially arming the system.
    Stay zones are zones that are bypassed when Stay arming.
    For example, when you got to sleep at night, doors and windows can be armed without arming other zones like motion detectors.
    1) Enter a valid user code.
    2) Press the Star [*] button.
    3) The STAY LED/LCD segment will now illuminate.
