period of time in which to leave the premises. At the end of the exit delay, the system will
be armed.
Master code The master code is a 4- or 6- digit access code that is used to program system options, to
arm and disarm the system, and to program other access codes.

access to only some partitions. See Zone.

Trouble The control panel continuously checks the system for conditions that may reduce its effec-
tiveness. If the control panel finds one of these conditions (trouble), it will indicate this at
the keypad(s) to alert users to the problem. See “Identifying Trouble Conditions” on page 17
for a list of possible trouble conditions.
