Touchpads display an arming message, such as “Armed to STAY No Delay”
or “ARMED TO AWAY NO DELAY,” for example. The ARMED indicator light
on fixed display touchpads will light.

Changing the arming level will restore delay doors to their normal Exit and Entry
Delay times.

Auto STAY Arming Feature

The Auto STAY Arming feature helps cut down on false alarms in the event that
you arm the system to 3—AWAY, but fail to leave during the exit delay time.
Here’s how it works:

If you arm the system to Level 3

—AWAY, and do not leave the premises within the exit

delay time

If feature turned on The system can tell that no one opened and closed a delay door within the

delay time. It assumes that someone is still inside and the panel will arm to
2—STAY to avoid a false alarm.

If feature turned off The system arms to Level 3—AWAY regardless of whether or not a delay

door has been opened and closed.

Your movement inside the premises could activate a motion detector,
causing an alarm.

Your dealer can turn this feature on or off for you. See Arming information to find
out if this feature is currently enabled in your system.

Arming While a Door or Window is Open

It is possible to arm your system while leaving a door or window open. This is
useful if, for example, you like to sleep at night with the window open.

If the door or window has a sensor installed on it, the system must be told to
ignore, or bypass, that sensor when it’s open. All other sensors will remain
active.

There are two methods for bypassing a sensor:

Directly — After arming the system, bypass door/window sensors before you

open them. You must know the sensor number of the door or window you
wish to bypass. To bypass directly, the user code must have been given the
Direct Bypassing attribute. See “Assigning the Direct Bypassing Attribute” for
more information.

Indirectly — As you are arming, bypass sensors on already-open doors and

window. This method should not be used in UL-listed installations.

Note

: When a sensor is bypassed, you are allowing that door or window to be

unprotected.
