12 XR20 Arming and Disarming
Home/Away System Disarming
Disarming: While the system is armed, you can only enter the
premises through an entry/exit delay door without causing an
alarm. After opening the door, the keypad sounds a prewarn tone
to remind you to disarm the system. You must disarm the system
before the prewarn tone expires or an alarm on the door will occur.
During the prewarn tone, the keypad displays ENTER CODE:. Enter
your code to disarm the system.
Alarm Display: After disarming, the keypad displays any zones that
tripped or any communication problems that occurred during the
armed period. All burglary zones are then disarmed and any
bypassed zones are automatically reset.
Disarmed Message: The keypad displays ALL SYSTEM OFF after the
system disarms.
Central Station Report: A report of the system disarming can be
transmitted to the central station. This is optional and can be
programmed for you at any time.
Easy Exit™ Feature
While the system is armed, you can also just press COMMAND and
then the 9 key to restart the exit delays to allow you to exit the
premises without disarming the system. After the exit delay time
expires, the system rearms automatically. This feature allows you
to get the paper, let your pet out, or leave for work without having
to disarm and then rearm the system.
Disarming a Home/Away System
1. During the entry delay, the keypad displays ENTER CODE:.
Enter your user code.
2. The keypad then displays any alarms or communication problems
that occurred during the armed period.
3. The keypad next displays ALL SYSTEM OFF to confirm the
system is disarmed.
Disarming During an Alarm
1. While the alarm bell or siren is sounding, enter your user code.
The keypad displays DISARM SILENCE.
2. Press the Select key under DISARM to disarm the system and
silence the alarm. The keypad next displays ALL SYSTEM OFF
to confirm the system is disarmed.
3. Press the Select key under SILENCE to stop the bell or siren but
NOT disarm the system.
If you do not press any Select key, or you press the COMMAND
key, the system will automatically disarm and silence the
alarm.
Note: If your system is programmed to send an Abort (alarm cancel)
report to the central station, selecting DISARM will send this report
to the central station. Be sure that you want the alarm message to
be cancelled BEFORE deciding to disarm the system. If you do not
want to disarm the system and send the abort report, press SILENCE
to only turn off the alarm bells.
