2. 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.
SYSTEM READY
The system is ready to be armed if the READY indicator light ON.
On LCD keypads the following display will appear:
BYSTEYREADY ‘.
If the system is ready, ARMING can be performed as follows;
ARMNG PROCEDURE:
1. Enter your four digit user code into the keypad:
IUSEW
The ARMED indicator light will now be lit and if you are leaving the home you may
exit through a door designated by your installer as an exit/entry zone for a fixed time
period known as the exit delay.
The entry exit times for your system are as follows;
ENTRY: seconds- EXIT: seconds ‘C /
LCD keypads will display the following message;
f3my
NOTE: The system can be armed without the backup battery being connected.
SYSTEM NOT READY
If the system is not ready to be armed the READY indicator will be OFF. On LED
based keypads the zone indicator lights will display the zones which are currently not
ready. The condition of each zone indicator reflects what the status of each zone as
follows; ALARM Fast blinking.
BYPASS Slow blinking low intensity.
TROUBLE Slow pulse
NOT READY Solid ON
The LCD keypad a display will appear indicating that the system Is not ready followed
by displays showing the zone number and description of the zone or zones which are
not ready. For example:
PYSTEMNOTREADYl
In this example, the front door is not ready (Zone 1).
In order to make the system ready determine which zones are not ready by observing
the zone indicator lights, or the display section of the LCD keypad. From the zone
number you can find out which area of protection is not ready.
For example, assume the zone 1 is not ready. Typically this might mean thp?
protected door or window is open. \ ,
>>
Once the problems with each zone has been resolved the READY light will
appear and the system can be armed.
To ARM the system when the system is NOT READY one of the following actions
are necessary;

- Make the zone(s) ready. Determine which zones are not ready and perform what
is necessary to ready the zone(s) (example, close the door or window, etc.),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. Remember, zones that
are bypassed are not protected when the system is armed.
3. DISARMING
Disarming the security system will deactivate the burglary portions of the system.
This procedure can also be used to reset your system if you acddentally set off the
system ( example, opened a window while the system was armed, or excessive
amount of smoke activated fire protection system).
DISARM PROCEDURE:
[USER]

IF NO ALARMS HAVE TAKEN PLACE
Upon disarming the ARMING indicator will go off.
The system display will reflect the current status. LCD keypads should display the
SYSTEM READY display.
IF ALARMS HAVE TAKEN PLACE
If alarms or other conditions such as system troubles have taken place since the
initial system arming, they will appear on the display. The conditions that have occurred
appear in the zone display section of the keypad. LCD keypads will reflect the current
system status through the indicator lights as follows;
ALARM Fast blinking.
BYPASS Slow blinking low intensity.
TROUBLE Slow pulse

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 [USEQ

from activating the security system. .
BYPASS PROCEDURE:
BYPASS [USER] ZN
Depress the BYPASS key followed by your user code and zone number (4-6) to be
bypassed.
Example: BY PASS [USER] 2 Will bypass zone 2.

Ifthe 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 zone or zones that have been bypassed will appear In a slow
blinking mode In the zone status area on LED keypads.
LCD keypads will display the zone bypasses as a secondary display after the
SYSTEM READY or SYSTEM NOT READY as shown below:
If multiple zones are bypassed then more than one display will appear.
8. UNBYPASS
The UNBYPASS function removes an existing bypass from a currently bypassed
zone. After UNBYPASSING a zone, the bypass indication will be removed for that zone
on either the LCD or LED keypad.
The procedure is similar to a bypass.
UNBYPASS PROCEDURE:
BYPASS [USER] ZN
See bypass description.
9. USER DEFINITION
Users can be entered or modified directly through the keypad. The STAR
XL-4600DL security system can have up to six different users. User #I is known as the
master user and is the only user allowed to modify other users.

user #6 will be used as the system ambush code. lf an arming only code (maid code)
has been defined by your installer then user #5 can only arm the system.
Example,
To create user number 3, with a user access code of 4567 enter;
CODE [USER] 3 4567
