MAXIMUM
Use this key when the premises will be vacant for an extended period
of time, such as during a vacation, or when no one will be moving
through protected interior areas.
When armed in MAXIMUM mode, the system will sound an alarm if a
protected door or window is opened, or if any movement is detected
inside the premises. You may leave through the entrance door during
the exit delay period without causing an alarm, but an alarm will be
sounded as soon as someone re-enters.
Close all protected perimeter windows and doors before
arming

indicator (if present) on the keypad should be lit if the system is ready
to be armed.
