Page 9: Burglary Protection
Burglary Protection Operating the System When your system was setup by your installer, wireless sensors were placed to monitor specifi c doors and windows. The installer selected these doors and windows as likely places where an unlawful intrusion might occur and could be detected. Each sensor was programmed to have the system react in a specifi... -
Page 10: Sensor Status
Burglary Protection Sensor Status The security system constantly monitors all of the sensors attached to the protected doors and windows in your home or business. The Control Panel knows if each protected door or window is open or closed. The open or closed condition of the protected doors and windows is called the “sensor status”. -
Page 11: Sensor Bypassing
Burglary Protection Sensor Bypassing Before the system can be armed, all protected doors and windows must be closed or bypassed. The system uses “bypasses” to resolve open sensors on protected doors or windows before arming the system. When a sensor is bypassed, the system ignores that the door or window is open. There are two types of sensor bypasses available: forced and manual. -
Page 12: Stay Mode
Burglary Protection Stay Mode Stay Mode is for arming the system when people will be staying on the premises. Stay Mode arms the sensor-protected perimeter doors and windows while not arming the interior motion sensors or other interior doors. This allows the premises to be occupied while the system is partially armed. Stay Mode is used mostly for arming the system during the evening hours after everyone is inside and no one is expected to enter or leave. -
Page 13: Arming To Stay Mode
Burglary Protection Arming to Stay Mode Use Stay Mode to arm the system when anyone will be staying home. Stay Mode normally has an Entry Delay so someone with a User Code can re-enter without causing an alarm. 1. Close all protected perimeter doors and windows before arming. 2. -
Page 14: Away Mode
Burglary Protection Away Mode Away Mode is for arming the system when everyone will be leaving the premises. Away Mode arms all sensor-protected perimeter doors and windows, interior motion sensors, interior glass break sensors, and any other sensor-protected interior doors. The premises must be unoccupied while the system is armed. -
Page 15: Arming To Away Mode
Burglary Protection Arming to Away Mode Use the Away Mode to arm the system when everyone will be leaving the home. The Away Mode normally has an Entry Delay so someone with a User Code can re-enter without causing an alarm. Interior and perimeter sensors are armed in the Away Mode. -
Page 16: Disarming The System
Burglary Protection Disarming the System To stop the Control Panel from triggering burglary alarms, the system will need to be disarmed. Disarming turns off the burglary detection part of the system for sensors that are not 24-hour sensors. Disarming also stops any type of alarm in process. The system should be disarmed from Stay Mode before exiting the premises. -
Page 17: If A Burglary Alarm Occurs
Burglary Protection If a Burglary Alarm Occurs If an armed sensor is tripped while the system is armed in the Stay or Away Mode, an alarm will occur and the siren will sound. Delayed sensors will start the Entry Delay to allow time to disarm the system. -
