Arming The System
ARMING the system will activate all portions of your Security
System. Arming can only be performed if all zones are READY. For
example, if a protected door is open the system cannot be armed.
☞Note: Your installer can program your system to be armed if
certain zones are not ready. Contact your installer to determine
whether this applies to your system.
System Ready
Ready Indications
LCD Based Keypads
If the system is ready to be armed the following message will appear
in the display area of the LCD keypad:

System Not Ready
Ready Indications
LCD Based Keypads
If the system is not ready to be armed the LCD display will display
the zone or zones not ready as follows. For example:
NOT READY Zne 012
Master Bedroom
This display indicates that zone number 12 is not ready. This might
mean that a window or door remains open. When the problem with
zone 12 has been resolved, the READY display will appear. The zones
correspond to the areas of protection set up by your installer.
☞Note: If more than one zone is not ready then the display will
scroll through the zones approximately every 2 seconds.
LED Based Keypads
On the LED keypads the individual zone lights display the zones
which are not ready as follows:
ALARM Fast Blinking
BYPASS Slow blinking low intensity
TROUBLE Slow Pulse
NOT READY Solid ON
Action Required
If the system is NOT READY, one of the following actions is required
if you want to ARM the system:
- Make the zone(s) ready. Determine which zones are not ready by
looking at the keypad and perform what is necessary to ready the
zone(s). For example if zone 12 represents the Bedroom Window,
then closing the window should make that zone ready.
or
- Bypass the zone(s) not ready. Bypassing should only be performed if
the zone cannot be made ready or intentionally will remain not

ready. Zones that are bypassed are not protected when the system
is armed.
NOTE: It is possible to arm the system without the back-up battery
connected.
NOTE: In a commercial burglary alarm installation (model XL-4B or
XL-4C) a brief pulsing audible output is provided by the keypad to
indicate successful receipt of the closing signal at the Central Station.
If not heard, CALL FOR SERVICE.
In a commercial burglary installation (model XL-4B) the bell will
energize briefly after entry of the user code during arming. If not
heard, CALL FOR SERVICE.

– 16 –
Stay
The STAY mode is another way to ARM your system while you remain
in the location. The STAY mode will deactivate any interior protection
zones, which means that you will be free to walk throughout your
location without activating the alarm system.
In order to enter the STAY mode, the system must be ready. (See
previous description).
Stay Procedure
Stay [USER]
Depress the STAY key followed by your user code.
☞Remember that you must DISARM the system to leave the
premise.
Note: The STAY option will automatically be reset after the system is
disarmed.
Indications
LCD Keypads
After a successful STAY arming the following display will appear:
ON: STAY . . . . . . .
In addition, the ARMED indicator will be lit. In the STAY mode only
the external or perimeter burglary protection is active. You are free to
walk around the location without activating any of the interior
protection zones.
LED Keypads
On LED keypads both the ARMED and STAY lights will be lit.
Auto-Stay Mode (optional)
Another option that can be programmed by your installer is the
Auto-Stay mode. This feature will arm the system and will bypass
only those interior zones preselected by your installer. For example, you

can stay in your location and walk freely through the living section of
your location and have certain portions of the interior protection
active in the rest of your home.
To auto stay arm simply enter your user code [USER] and remain
within the location (do not leave through the exit/entry door). This will
arm the system and only bypass those interior zones selected by your
installer. LCD keypads will contain the following display:
ON: AUTO STAY . . . .

– 18 –
Instant
The INSTANT mode arms the system and eliminates the entry and
exit time delay intervals. If anyone enters or exits through an
entry/exit zone the alarm system will instantly activate.
The system must be READY to select the INSTANT option.
Instant Procedure
Instant [USER]
Depress the INSTANT key followed by your user code.
Note: The INSTANT option will automatically be reset after the
system is disarmed.

Bypass
Bypasses are performed to eliminate burglary zones that are not ready
or faulty from activating the Security System.
Bypass Procedure
BYPASS [USER] ZN
Depress the BYPASS key followed by your user code and the three
digit zone number (000 - 072) to be bypassed.
The zone number to be bypassed is shown as ZN. For example, if your
user code is 7356 and you want to bypass zone 16 enter:
BYPASS 7 3 5 6 0 1 6
Press the bypass key followed by 7 3 5 6 (your user code), and 0 1 6
(desired zone to be bypassed).
Multiple zones may be bypassed by repeating the sequence for the
desired zones within a fifteen-second time period as follows:
EXAMPLE:
BYPASS [USER] 002 BYPASS 056 BYPASS 071
The sequence displayed above would have bypassed zones 2, 56 and
71.
Zones can be bypassed if the user performing the bypass is authorized
to perform bypasses and the zone has been defined by your installer as
bypassable.
If the zone has already been bypassed, the sequence will unbypass the
zone except if the system is armed and the unbypassed zone is still not
ready. Unbypass means that the zone returns as an active burglary
zone.
After the bypass (or unbypass) command has been accepted the unit
will emit a continuous beep and keypads will display the bypassed
zones as follows:
