First Alert FA162C - Manual (Page 5)

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Burglary Protection Your system provides four modes of burglary protection: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT and
MAXIMUM, and allows you to BYPASS selected zones while leaving the rest of the system
armed. You must turn on or "arm" the burglary protection portion of your system before it will
sense burglary alarms. The system also provides a CHIME mode, for alerting users to the
opening of protected doors and windows while the system is disarmed. Refer to the other
sections of this manual for procedures for using these features.
The following table lists the four different arming modes and the results of each.
Arming Features For Each Arming Mode
Mode Exit Delay Entry Delay Perimeter Armed Interior Armed
AWAY Yes Yes Yes Yes
STAY Yes Yes Yes No
INSTANT Yes No Yes No
MAXIMUM Yes No Yes Yes
Security Codes At the time of installation, you were assigned a personal four-digit security code, known only to
you. You must enter the security code when arming and disarming the system, and when
performing other system functions. As an additional safety feature, other users who do not have
a need to know your code can be assigned different security codes. Refer to the SECURITY
CODES section for procedures on adding security codes to the system.
Fire Protection The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always active and will sound an
alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEM section for important
information concerning fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes
from the premises.
