only, with entry delay on. Interior protection zones are not
armed, which allows movement within the premises without
causing an alarm.

must be disarmed). Refer to
TESTING THE SYSTEM

procedures.

during certain system functions.

individual keys A, B, and C are present and may be used for
emergency functions, if so programmed. On some keypads,
