Arming the system

Arm your premises, or areas in it, when they are unoccupied. If an event, such as someone forcing a door open,
occurs when the system is armed, it will set off an alarm.
Once you have armed the system, you must leave the area within a preset exit time to avoid setting off an
alarm. All users must be informed of this time limit.
You might not be able to arm specific areas in the premises because:
• Your keypad has been programmed to arm only specific areas in the premises. Make sure you know
which keypad to use if there is more than one present in the premises.
• Your PIN code has been programmed to arm only specific areas of the premises. Make sure you know
which areas you can arm.
You cannot arm an area if it has a zone input device not properly closed (such as magnetic contacts on a door or
window). Before arming, make sure that all doors and windows are properly closed. The keypad sounds seven
quick beeps and displays the message Active On... if a zone input is open.

Arm the system

To arm the system, do the following:
1. The display must show that the system is free
of alarms (Figure 4 ).
2. Enter your PIN code.
3. Press ON/NEXT (see Figure 1 ).
4. The result of step 3 depends on whether the
system has been programmed to display a list
of areas assigned to your PIN code.
The AL-1103 indicates successful arming by illuminating an area LED. The AL111x LED goes from green to
red when the arming procedure has been successful.

Arming conditions and options

The Bypass/instant key (see Figure 1 ) provides the ability to bypass active zones and arm the system in
instant mode. Press the MENU * (see Figure 1 )key twice to check for active zones.
The Alliance system presents the bypass option in the following circumstances:
• The user has alarm system Arm/disarm capabilities.
• The user has access to Alliance system menu 10 bypass zone.
• One or more zones are active in the area that the user is attempting to arm. This does not apply to zone
types that do not prevent arming when active.
• No other keypad is currently using the Bypass menu (bypass can only be used by one keypad at a
time).
