Arming the System
1
Check the keypad.
The green STATUS light must be on in order to arm. If the
green light is off, “ZONES FAULTED” will display in the window followed by the
number and description of each faulted zone. Note each problem zone and secure
it by closing a window, door, etc. When all zones are secure, the green STATUS
light will come on and the window will display “SYSTEM READY”.

Arm the system.
Enter your code and press
J
. The green STATUS light
will go
off, the red ARMED light will come on and the window will display “EXIT TIME
XXX”, “PLEASE LEAVE NOW” (where “XXX” represents the exit time remaining,
in 10-second steps). Note: If you enter a wrong code, the keypad will display
“INVALID ENTRY, TRY AGAIN”. Re-enter your code immediately.

Leave the premises.
Leave through the exit door before exit time expires.
Priority Arming
If you attempt to arm with a faulted Zone, a 3-second tone will sound at the keypad.
“ZONES NOT NORMAL” and “CAN'T ARM SYSTEM”, will display in the window,
indicating that the faulted zone(s) must be secured before the panel can be armed.
Selectively Bypassing Zones
If you cannot locate or repair the problem yourself, call for assistance. If you cannot
get immediate help, bypass the problem zone(s) from the system by pressing
B
,
then the zone number (or vice versa).
Note:
Bypassed zones are unprotected. If armed with zones bypassed, be sure to
have the system checked as soon as possible.
