14 XT Series International User Guide Arming and Disarming
ARMING FUNCTIONS
During arming, the system veries that all doors, windows, and
other protection devices to be armed are in normal condition. If
everything is normal, the system arms. If there is a problem on
one or more burglary zones, the keypad displays the problem and
allows you to correct the problem or bypass those zones.
If the problem can be corrected by closing a door or window,
do not bypass the zone. Instead, correct the problem and try
arming again. If the problem cannot be corrected, you can bypass
the zone or wait until the zone can be repaired by a service
technician. A bypassed zone is ignored by the system during the
armed period.
In some cases the keypad might display FRONT DOOR - FAULT.
The keypad may then display PRIORITY ZONE, which is a zone
that cannot be bypassed. The problem on the zone must be
corrected before the system can be armed.
After making your arming selection, the keypad displays any zones
that are currently bypassed. These zones remain bypassed until
the system is armed and then disarmed. Any 24-hour zones in a
faulted condition also display.
Armed Message
After completing all bypasses or correcting zone faults, the areas
selected are armed.
For All/Perimeter systems the keypad briey displays ALL SYSTEM
ON if all areas in the system are arming or PERIMETER ON if only
selected areas are arming.
For Home/Away or Home/Sleep/Away systems the keypad displays
ALL SYSTEM ON if all areas in the system are arming, HOME
SYSTEM ON or SLEEP SYSTEM ON if only selected areas are
arming.
Exit Delay
The keypad then displays the exit delay time as it counts down.
If the entire system has been armed, your system beeps the exit
delay tone at eight-second intervals until the last 10 seconds
when the keypad beeps at three-second intervals. After exiting
the building, if you re-enter during the countdown the exit
countdown restarts, allowing additional time to then disarm
or again exit the building during the countdown. This restart
can occur only one time. When the exit delay time expires, all
disarmed zones are armed. If your system uses a keyswitch to arm
an area, the exit delay time does not count down on the keypad
display.
When you arm both the perimeter and interior to leave the
building, but do not exit by the time the exit delay ends, the
system automatically arms. However, the interior area(s) remain
disarmed because you have not exited.
Should you exit the building and the door does not close properly,
your system may be programmed so that when the exit delay
countdown ends, then the entry delay starts and the bell will
sound to alert you to the situation. Enter your user code to stop
the bell and disarm the system. Rearm the system, exit the
building, and make sure the door is securely closed.
