2.4 Auditory Feedback
When you enter information on the keypad, it will guide you
with beep tones. You should be familiar with these:
Confirmation Beep: When an operation (i.e. arming/
disarming) is successfully entered on the keypad or when the
system switches to a new status/mode, the keypad produces
an intermittent beep tone (“BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP”).
Rejection Beep: When the system reverts to previous status
or when an operation is incorrectly entered on the keypad, it
will emit a continuous beep tone (“BEEEEEEEEP”).

3.0 Arming & Disarming
Take full advantage of your Spectra system by familiarizing
yourself with all of the arming methods.
If your system is not partitioned (see Partitioning on
page 22), everything is considered as belonging to area 1.
3.1 Exit Delay
After entering a valid arming sequence, an Exit Delay Timer
will provide you with enough time to exit the protected area
before the system arms. The keypad may beep during the
Exit Delay and the icon will flash with the number of the
partition in exit delay.
3.2 Disarming & Deactivating an Alarm
To disarm an armed system or an alarm, enter your access
code. An entry point, like the front door, will be programmed
with one of two Entry Delay Timers. When an entry point is
opened, the keypad will beep until you disarm the system.
Your alarm system will not generate an alarm until this timer
elapses. To disarm alarms generated by a Delayed Fire
Zone, please refer to Fire Alarms on page 15.
How Do I Disarm an Alarm?
Enter your [ACCESS CODE].

3.3 Alarm Memory Display
All zones where alarms have occurred will be stored in
memory. The system will erase the contents of the Alarm
Memory every time the system is armed.
3.4 Regular Arming
This method will arm all the zones in the selected area.
Regular Arming can also be activated using Auto-Arming
(see page 14), a Keyswitch (see page 14), or One-Touch
Arming (see page 12).

3.5 Stay Arming
This method allows you to remain in the protected area while
partially arming the system. Stay Zones are zones that are
bypassed when Stay Arming. For example, when you go to
sleep at night, doors and windows can be armed without
arming other zones like motion detectors.
Stay Arming can also be activated using Auto-Arming
(see page 14), a Keyswitch (see page 14) or One-Touch
Arming (see page 12).
3.6 Instant Arming
Instant Arming is similar to Stay Arming. Instant Arming
partially arms your system and enables you to remain in the
perimeter after the system is armed. However, Instant Arming
ignores any Entry or Exit Delays Therefore, any armed zone
that is breached will immediately generate an alarm.
How Do I Stay Arm?
1. Close all zones in the desired area (except Stay Zones).
2. Press the key.
3. Enter your [ACCESS CODE].
4. If required, press the key corresponding to the desired
area, [1] or [2].For both areas, press the other key after
the confirmation beep.

3.7 Force Arming
During Force Arming, any open zones are temporarily
“deactivated” so you can rapidly arm the system without
waiting for all of the zones in the system to close. When the
zone closes, the system will then arm those zones. Force
Arming is commonly used when a motion detector is
protecting the area occupied by a keypad.
Force Arming can also be activated by using One-Touch
Force Arming (see page 13).
How Do I Instant Arm?
1. Stay Arm the system as outlined in Stay Arming on
page 9.
2. During the Exit Delay press and hold the key for 3
seconds.
How Do I Force Arm?

2. Press the key.
3. Enter your [ACCESS CODE].
4. If required, press the key corresponding to the desired
area, [1] or [2].For both areas, press the other key after
the confirmation beep.

3.8 Manual Bypass Programming
Manual Bypass Programming allows you to program the
alarm system to ignore (deactivate) specified zones the next
time the system is armed. For example, you may wish to
bypass certain zones when workers are renovating part of
your establishment. Once the system is disarmed, the bypass
entries are erased.
Can also be activated by using One-Touch Bypass
Programming (see page 13).

3.10 Keyswitch Arming
A keyswitch can be used to arm and disarm the system. A
keyswitch is programmed to Stay Arm (see page 9) or
Regular Arm (see page 8). A keyswitch can function as a
Maintained or Momentary keyswitch.
To arm the system using a Maintained Keyswitch, set the
keyswitch to the ON position. To disarm the system set the
keyswitch to the OFF position.
To arm the system using a Momentary Keyswitch, set the
keyswitch to the ON position then turn it back to the OFF
position. Repeating this sequence will disarm the system.

A 60-second Exit Delay (see page 7) will start before the
system arms. Auto-Arming can be cancelled by entering
your access code.
3.12 “No Movement” Auto Arming
Your panel can be programmed to arm the system and/or
send a report if no zone activity occurs for a pre-programmed
amount of time. This is useful when supervising an individual
with chronic health problems or who lives alone.
3.13 Fire Alarms
Upon a fire alarm, the bell/siren will emit three “squawks” at 2
second intervals until silenced or reset by entering a valid
access code. If the zone is a Delayed Fire Zone, there is a
delay before the system contacts the monitoring station. This
will prevent unnecessary reporting of false alarms. If there is
no fire condition, contact your monitoring station immediately
to avoid an unnecessary response.
What Do I Do if a Delayed Fire Zone Was Activated?
1. Press the key within 30 seconds of the alarm.
2. Try to correct the problem.
3. If the problem persists, the alarm will sound again. Press
the key again.
This instructs the system to delay reporting the fire alarm to
the monitoring station (see Figure 3.1 on page 16).
