C hapter 3 - Arming and Disarming This chapter describes the different methods of arming and disarming your MG6250 system. In this chapter we will cover: • How to arm your system (see Arming the System on page 15) • How to bypass zones (see Bypassing Zones on page 19) •...
Arming the System There are three different methods of arming your system: Regular arming, Stay arming, and Sleep arming. Your choice of arming level will depend on whether you are leaving the premises, or staying in for the evening. Exit Delay Timer When you arm your system, it will trigger the exit delay timer to provide you with enough time to exit the protected area before your system is armed.
Stay Arming Stay arming will partially arm your system to permit you to remain in your home by arming the outer zones of your system (e.g. doors and windows) and ignoring interior zones (e.g. motion detectors). All defined zones in the system must be closed in order to stay arm the system.
Sleep Arming Similar to Stay arming, Sleep arming allows users to remain in a protected area, but provides a higher level of protection. For example, in a two-story house, the perimeter is protected with Stay arming. With Sleep arming the perimeter as well as the main floor are protected (motion detectors, etc.), allowing you to roam the second floor and sleeping quarters.

When entering/exiting a site, the system partly disarms to let you pass through. Simply notify the system with your remote and go through the designated path which will automatically re-arm after you pass; all other zones remain armed. The result is a system that is always protecting, without the uncertainty of whether the system is armed or not.
Page 19
Bypassing Zones Bypassing a zone allows you to ignore (deactivate) specified zones the next time the system is armed. You can bypass certain zones when you arm the system. When a zone is bypassed, it will be ignored the next time you arm the system.
Page 20
No Movement Auto-Arming Your system can be programmed to send a report to your monitoring station and arm the system if there is no activity, during a specified period of time. Your installer can set no movement auto-arming to function in either Regular or Stay arming modes.
