Disarm

Definition: To turn off intrusion/burglary protection for your system. Only intrusion/burglary sensors such as doors/windows and motion are disarmed. Environmental sensors, such as smoke and carbon monoxide stay active at all times.

Disarming Your System

1. Upon reentering your home the entry delay will begin.
2. Status beeps will sound.
3. Enter your access code using the Code buttons. Panel announces, System disarmed and the Disarm light will be lit.

System Status

Press to hear information about your system. If the button is lit, there is a problem with the system. If the button is blinking, an alarm has occurred. Press the button to hear what is wrong with the system.

Exit Delay

Exit Delay is the amount of time the system gives you to exit the home before the system is armed (between 5 and 254 seconds). This is programmed by the installer. When you arm you will hear beeps during the exit delay.

Entry Delay

Entry Delay is the amount of time the system gives you to disarm the system after entering the home (between 5 and 254 seconds). This is programmed by the installer. When you enter your home you will hear beeps during the entry delay.

Access Code

Your security system has a master access code and access codes 1-5 used for arming and disarming the panel. The master code is used for disarming and programming your system. Access codes 1-5 are generally used for children or as temporary codes for a babysitter or service personnel. Your system may be set up so that the master code or an access code is required when arming. If so, the panel will prompt you to enter a code when you attempt to arm the system.

Note

Because different codes can be entered using the same button presses, you have to use caution when programming different codes. You need to ensure that one access code does not use the same button presses as other access codes. For example, if the master code is 1234, do not program another code to be 2244. The panel would interpret these codes to be the same code.

How to add an Access Code:

1. Open the cover of the panel.
2. The panel voice prompts you to Use numbered keys to enter ID. Enter your master access code using the numbered keys.
3. The panel voice prompts you to please select from START MENU. Press the Add button on the START MENU.
4. The panel voice prompts you to select from MAIN MENU. Press the Access Code button on the MAIN MENU.
5. The panel voice responds with Master Code, press again for next access code, DONE to select or press CANCEL to quit. Press the access code button again to hear the next access code. When you hear the access code you wish to change press the DONE Button.
6. Enter 3-6 new numbers using the numbered keys. (Access Code length is programmed by the installer.)
7. Close the panel cover.

How to delete an Access Code:

1. Open the cover of the panel.
2. The panel voice prompts you to Use numbered keys to enter ID. Enter your master access code using the numbered keys.
3. The panel voice prompts you to please select from START MENU. Press the Delete button on the START MENU.
4. The panel voice prompts you to select from MAIN MENU. Press the Access Code button on the MAIN MENU.
5. The panel voice responds with Access Code 1, press again for next access code, DONE to select or press CANCEL to quit. Press the access code button again to hear the next access code. When you hear the access code you wish to delete, press the DONE Button. The panel voice responds with Access Code X deleted.
6. Close the panel cover.

Chime

Chime Doors is used to signal (chime) when a protected door is opened while the system is disarmed. The panel will announce the door that has been tripped and chime twice (ask your installer how this feature is programmed). This is a nice feature to use if you’re busy in one part of your home and you want to know when family members are going in and out of your home.

Turn Chime Doors on:

1. System must be disarmed. Press Chime Doors button.

Panel will announce, Chime on. Chime Doors button will be lit.

Turn Chime Doors off:
