6 XR20 Introduction
How your System Operates
Your system has been programmed to operate in one of three
modes: Area Arming, All/Perimeter, or Home/Sleep/Away.
• Area Arming - Your burglary protection is divided into up to four
areas. Each area can have a custom name, be turned on or off
independently of other areas, and limit access to only those users
with the proper authority.
• All/Perimeter - Your burglary protection is divided into two areas:
Interior and Perimeter. You can turn on the just the Perimeter
protection while inside for security or turn on both as you leave.
• Home/Sleep/Away - Your burglary protection is divided into three
areas: Interior, Perimeter, and Bedrooms. You can turn on the
Perimeter, Perimeter and Interior, or all three areas separately.
Regardless of which mode has been programmed, much of the
operation is similar. Throughout this guide, any differences between
the systems are noted for your convenience.
Arming Functions
After making your arming selection, the keypad displays any zones
that are currently bypassed. These zones remain bypassed until the
system is armed and then disarmed. Any 24-hour zones in a bad
condition are also displayed.
During arming, the system verifies that all doors, windows, and
other protection devices to be armed are in normal condition.
If everything is normal, the system arms. If there is a problem on
one or more burglary zones the keypad displays the problem and
allows you to bypass those zones.
If the problem can be corrected by closing a door or window, do not
bypass the zone. Instead, correct the problem and try arming again.
If the problem cannot be corrected, you can bypass the zone or wait
until the zone can be repaired by a service technician. A bypassed
zone is ignored by the system during the armed period.
In some cases, you might see the keypad display FRONT DOOR —
FAULT. The keypad may then display PRIORITY ZONE which is a
zone that cannot be bypassed. The problem on the zone must be
corrected before the system can be armed.
Armed Message: After all bypassing is completed or zone faults
corrected, the areas you selected are armed. The keypad briefly
displays ALL SYSTEM ON if all areas in the system are arming and
PERIMETER ON or PERIM/INT ON if only selected areas are arming.
The keypad then displays the exit delay as it counts down. Zones
are not armed until the exit delay time expires.
If your system uses a keyswitch to arm an area, the exit delay time
is NOT shown on the keypad display.
DIALING . . . Message: If your system is monitored, it may be
programmed to wait for the arming report to be sent to the central
station before displaying the armed message. (See Arming Report
below.) This is to verify your phone lines are working properly.
While the system is waiting, the display reads DIALING.... If the
report is received, the keypad buzzes for one second and displays
the armed message. If the report is not received, the keypad
displays LOCAL ALARM ONLY before displaying the armed message.
Arming Report: Your system can be programmed to send arming or
zone bypass reports to a central station. This feature is optional and
can be programmed for you at any time.
