Time Schedules and Partitions

Once a schedule is attached to a feature event in one partition, that schedule becomes unavailable

to the other partitions. This prevents the situation where one partition changes a time schedule

that inadvertently affects other partitions.

Advanced Light

Control

You can control system lights from any touchpad, as discussed in “Basic Light Control”.
There are other lighting options that you or your installer can set up, including:
• Turning lights on and off according to a time schedule.
• Turning lights on after system arming for the duration of the Exit Delay.
• Turning lights on for the duration of the Entry Delay so you have enough light to see your

way to the touchpad to disarm the system.

• Flashing lights on and off upon successful arming and disarming.

Controlling Lights By Time Schedule

Lights can be turned on according to time schedules. If you need assistance setting up a time

schedule that fits your lighting needs, see “Creating Time Schedules”.

Controlling Lights with Sensors

Your security system can be programmed to turn on a selected light or lights when sensors are

activated. Each time the chosen sensor is activated, the attached light(s) will turn on for 5 min-

utes. When 5 minutes have passed since the last activation, the light(s) will turn off. For example,

if you want house lights to turn on when you open the front door, simply attach the desired lights

to the front door sensor.

Note

If a light is attached to a sen-

sor and a schedule, the light

will only turn on and off

within the scheduled start

and stop times.
