Bell/Siren Sounds After Away Arming
Audible Exit Fault
In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an improper exit when arming
the system in the Away mode. In the event that you fail to exit the premises during the allotted exit delay period, or if
you do not securely close the Exit/Entry door, the system will notify you that it was improperly armed in two ways: the
keypad will emit one continuous beep and the bell or siren will sound.
Your installer will tell you if this feature has been enabled on your system. If this occurs:
1.
Re-enter the premises.
2.
Enter your access code to disarm the system. You must do this before the entry delay timer expires.
3.
Follow the Away arming procedure again, making sure to close the entry/exit door properly.
Arming Error
An error tone will sound if the system is unable to arm and the voice prompt will state "Failed to arm". This will hap-
pen if the system is not ready to arm (i.e., sensors are open) or if an incorrect user code has been entered. A voice
prompt will then state "check open zones and troubles." If this happens, ensure all sensors are secure. Try again, ensur-
ing that a valid access code is entered. Please check with your installer to determine if arming is inhibited by any other
means.
Zone Status
Home > Zone Status
This screen allows you to view the status of the zones on the system. From the Home screen, press Zone Status to go to
the list of zones, which is displayed from Zone 1 to Zone 64. You will see any zones that are either open or in alarm.
Bypassed Zones
Use the zone bypass feature when a zone is open but the system needs to be armed. Bypassed zones will not cause an
alarm when opened. Bypassing zones reduces the level of security. If you are bypassing a zone because it is not func-
tioning, call a service technician immediately so that the problem can be resolved and your system returned to proper
working order.
Ensure that no zones are unintentionally bypassed when arming your system. Zone bypassing can only be performed
while the system is disarmed. Bypassed zones are automatically cancelled each time the system is disarmed and must
be bypassed again, if required, before the next arming.
NOTE: 24-hour zones can only be unbypassed manually.
NOTE: For security reasons, your installer has programmed the system to prevent certain zones from being
bypassed. (e.g., smoke detectors).
