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 completed 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 its previous status or
when an action is performed incorrectly on the keypad, it will emit a
continuous beep tone (“BEEEEEEEEP”).
2.5 Modes and Settings

3.0 Partitioned System
Your system is equipped with a partitioning feature that can divide
your alarm system into sections identified as areas. Partitioning can
be used in installations where shared security systems are more
practical, such as a home office or warehouse building. When
partitioned, each zone, each user code and many of your system's
features can be assigned to one or more areas.
An area is the same as a partition. The term partition or partitioning is
a reference installers use to describe the division of secured
premises. Only your installer can partition your premises.
3.1 Area Status Display
If any areas within the system are armed, the display will show which
areas are armed and how each is armed. See Table 3 on page 4, and
Figure 1 on page 8 for more information.
If any zones are open, their respective zone numbers will either
appear on the left side of the screen (zones 1 to 16), or scroll
incrementally (17 to 96) in the center of the screen. For more
information, see Zones on page 8.
Various icons will display after certain events have occurred within
the system. Please see Table 3 on page 4 for more information on
the different icons and their functionalities.
How do I view the status of an area?
1. Press and hold the key corresponding to the area you want to
view. See Figure 1 on page 8 to see how open zones are
displayed.
2. Press []to exit.

4.0 Zones
Zones are designated spaces within an area, which are monitored by
the alarm system. Zones can be protected by devices such as
magnetic door contacts and motion detectors.
4.1 Zone Status Display
The Icon keypad displays the status of individual zones within a
partitioned system. It can show up to 96 open zones which are
displayed as follows:
• Zones 1 to 16 will illuminate on the left-hand side of the LCD
screen.
• Zones 17 to 96 will appear as digital numbers and will scroll
incrementally until 96, then repeat the cycle from 17 onwards
again.

5.0 Arming
When the system is armed, it will respond to any breach in the zones
according to the way each zone is programmed. For example, if
someone opens a window that is armed, the system can trigger an
alarm and alert your monitoring station.
5.1 Exit Delay Timer
Arming the system will start the Exit Delay Timer. This will provide
enough time for you to exit the protected area before the system
arms. The light and the appropriate arm icon will both flash during
the exit delay. Your installer can assign different time limits and
program the keypad to beep during the exit delay.
5.2 Regular Arming
This method is used for the everyday arming of the system. All zones
within the protected area must be closed to arm the system.
Use One-Touch keys (see Section 5.6 on page 12) or a
keyswitch to arm the area (see Section 5.7 on page 13).
How do I Regular arm the system?
1. Enter your [ACCESS CODE]. Your keypad will emit a confirmation
beep. The functionality icons will illuminate.
2. Press the []key.
3. If you have access to more than one area, press the number key
representing the area you want to arm, or press the [0] key for
all assigned areas. After the confirmation beep, the Exit Delay
Timer will begin. The Regular arm icon (or the affected area
numbers) will flash.
4. Once the system has armed, the Regular arm icon will
illuminate with the armed areas .

5.3 Stay Arming
Stay arming will partially arm your system allowing you to remain in
the protected area. For example, you can arm your doors and
windows at home without arming the motion detectors so that you will
be protected while you sleep. Only user access codes with the Stay
and Instant arm options enabled can Stay arm the system.
Use One-Touch keys (see Section 5.6 on page 12) or a
keyswitch to arm the area (see Section 5.7 on page 13).
5.4 Instant Arming
This feature is similar to Stay arming. Instant arming will partially arm
your system, permitting you to remain in the protected area, but all
zones (including the entry/exit points) are changed to Instant Alarm
Zones. Therefore, if any armed zone is breached the alarm will be
triggered instantly. Only user access codes with the Stay and Instant
arm option enabled can Instant arm.
Use One-Touch keys (see Section 5.6 on page 12) or a
keyswitch (see Section 5.7 on page 13) to arm the area.
How do I Stay arm?
1. Enter your [ACCESS CODE].
2. Press the []key.
3. If you have access to more than one area, press the number
key representing the area you want to arm or press the [0]
key for all assigned areas. After the confirmation beep, the
Exit Delay Timer will begin. The Stay arm icon (or the
affected area numbers) will flash.
4. Once the system has armed, the Stay arm icon will
illuminate with the armed areas .

5.5 Force Arming
Force arming allows you to arm your system while zones are still
open. As the system arms, it will ignore any open zones. Once the
the system is armed, it will then arm all open zones as soon as they
close. Only user access codes with the Force arm option enabled
can Force arm the system.
This feature is commonly used when a motion detector is protecting
an area occupied by a keypad. When Force arming, the motion
detector will remain unarmed (open zone will be ignored) until you
exit the area that it protects. The system will then arm the motion
detector after the zone is closed.
How do I Instant arm?
1. Enter your [ACCESS CODE].
2. Press the [5] key.
3. If you have access to more than one area, press the number
key representing the area you want to arm or press the [0] key
for all assigned areas. After the confirmation beep, the Exit
Delay Timer will begin. The Instant arm icon (or the affected
area numbers) will flash.
4. Once the system has armed, the Instant arm icon will
illuminate with the armed areas .

14 User Guide
5.8.1 Timed Auto-Arming
You can set the time that an area will arm itself automatically. An Exit
Delay will beep for one minute prior to the area(s) arming.
Auto-arming must be enabled in the control panel’s System
Options.
5.8.2 No Movement Auto-Arming
If there is no activity in an area during a specified period of time, your
control panel can arm the system. It can then send an arming report
to the monitoring station. Speak to your installer about this feature.
5.9 Bypass Programming
Your installer can program certain zones with the Bypassoption. This
will enable you to bypass certain zones when you arm the protected
area. When a zone is bypassed, it will be ignored the next time you
arm the system. For example, if you are renovating part of a
protected area, you can bypass some of its zones. The system will
