Manager Code

The Manager codes can arm/disarm the security system in assigned areas, during assigned times. The Manager code can access
functions that are code protected in High Security mode. Managers may also access the system from an outside telephone line.

User Code

User codes can only be used to arm and disarm the security system in assigned areas when the time assigned to that code is valid.


Duress Code


If you are forced to disarm the system against your will by an intruder, disarm it as you normally would, but use the Duress Code
instead of your normal code. The system will disarm normally. No sirens will sound, no lights will flash, but the OmniPro II will
perform a silent dial out and say that this is a silent alarm.

To stop a silent dial out, turn your security system off the usual way, pressing Off key, then your code.


Panic Switches


If you have had panic switches installed, they are always armed. Pressing a panic switch will cause the alarm to activate. This
alarm can only be silenced by pressing the Off key and a valid code on the console.


Area Arming


If your installer has enabled the Area feature, the security system may be armed in Area 1, and disarmed in Area 2. In fact, each
area may be armed in different security modes at the same time. Each area will have its own console that will control that area
independently from the other.

When disarming the security system or arming the security system in any mode, the system will automatically control all security
functions in the area of that console if your code is valid for that area.

If you have a Master code, your code is valid in any area. If you are in Area 2, and wanted to arm the system in the Away mode,
simply press the Away key and enter your code. The system will automatically arm Area 2. The security mode in Area 1 will not
change.

If you have a code that is only valid in Area 1, you will not be able to disarm or arm Area 2.

If you are in Area 1 and wish to disarm the security system in Area 2, OmniPro II will allow you to disarm Area 2 from the
console in Area 1 if you have a Master code or a code that is valid for both areas.

From the top-level display or from the main menu, press the 2 (SEC) key on the console keypad.

Press the 0 (OFF) key, the display will show:

' 0 ' key is pressed, then all areas will be selected.
