3. Operating the HLX-24
This chapter describes the day to day operation of the system, as well as
provides a quick reference for the Arming/Disarming buttons in the system.
3.1 Quick Reference
Use the following buttons on the keypad for quick arming the system:
Table 1: Quick Reference to Keypad Buttons
AWAY
Arms all sensors and detectors for use when there is no
one at home/office.
HOME
Arms all perimeter sensors and detectors as defined by
the installer. For use when home/office is occupied.
DISARM
Disarms all armed sensors and detectors.
For more on the keys and their function, see Section 4.3.
3.2 About Everyday Operation
The HLX-24 system allows you to ensure the security of your home, both while
you are home and while you are away. The system allows you to control
attached subsystems and appliances such as garage doors, lights, heating, and
air conditioner via an expandable PGM output.
3.3 Arming Options
The following subsections describe the arming options available to the installer.
3.3.1 Arm Away
ARM AWAY is the full arming of the system, best used when there is no one is
at home or in the office. In Away mode, the system enters Alarm mode if there
is a zone violation, regardless of perimeter or interior type.
If the installer enabled the “Unvacated Premises” option, the system may
trigger Arm Home (Stay) mode automatically if the system was armed in Arm
Away mode, but there was no exiting from the delay zone during the exit
delay period.
To arm the system using AWAY:
1. Verify that the system is ready for arming.
2. Press the AWAY arming key.
3. Enter your user code.
If the user arms the system as AWAY by remote control, a squawk
acknowledgement is produced twice in the local sounders.

Operating the HLX-24
HLX-24 User Manual 11
3.3.2 Arm Home
Home arming is an arming of all perimeter sensors and detectors as defined by
the installer. This is intended for when home or office is occupied.
To arm the system using HOME:
1. Verify that the system is ready for arming.
2. Press the HOME arming key.
3. Enter your user code.
If the user arms the system as HOME by remote control, a squawk
acknowledgement is produced twice in the local sounders.
3.3.3 Quick Arming
Quick arming allows arming the system without code entry. If Quick Arming is
enabled (by the installer during setup), a long press on one of the arming
buttons activates Quick Arming.
3.3.4 Instant Arming
If Instant Arming mode is enabled (by the installer during configuration), the
system skips the exit delay, cancels the entry delay configured, and initiates the
alarm, which instantly causes an alarm to go off upon violation of any zone.
To instantly arm the system:
1. Verify that the system is ready for arming.
2. Press either the HOME or the AWAY arming key.
3. Enter your user code.
4. Press the same arming key once again.
3.3.5 Forced Arming
If Forced Arming is enabled, the system is able to arm even when zones are in
violation (open) but not defined as bypassed. In such a case, the system arms,
effectively bypassing the open zone. Once the open zone is closed, the system
completes arming, adding the previously bypassed zone to the monitored
zones.
3.3.6 Exit Delay
An exit delay enables the user to arm the system and exit the site through a
specified door (determined as a delay zone) using a predetermined path after
arming the system, without setting off an alarm.
A progress annunciation of slow-rate warning beeps sound when the system is
armed. The system counts down the last 10 seconds of the delay if the voice
capability is configured; otherwise, the warning beeps are faster. The exit delay
is set at 60 seconds by default.
The user can use the Silent Exit feature to silence the audible progress
annunciation of the exit delay.

Operating the HLX-24
12 HLX-24 User Manual
If Silent Exit is active, the Exit Time is doubled for that exit period only, but
does not exceed 255 seconds.
During Home arming, the system ignores all interior zones as well as the
predefined delay zones.
3.3.7 Exit Restart
When this feature is enabled, an Exit Restart delay occurs on the second zone
opening within the same zone and the Exit Delay time is doubled. If it is
disabled, the same zone may be opened several times while in the Exit Delay
countdown.
3.4 Disarm Mode
When disarmed, the HLX-24 system is in Standby mode. Alarms trigger only
for panic, fire, 24-hour audible, and silent conditions.
In this state, the system continuously checks zone status and holds the Ready
status parameter. This parameter determines whether the system is ready to be
armed. The system becomes Ready to Arm when zones are either closed or
bypassed.
To disarm the system:
1. Press the Disarm key.
2. Enter your user code.
•If the user disarms the system during Exit/Entry mode, the progress
annonciation is silenced on the first keystroke of the user code. If the code
is invalid, the progress annonciation resumes.
•If the user disarms the system during the Abort time, the alarm
announciation is silenced on the first keystroke of the user code. If the code
is invalid, the alarm resumes.
•If the user disarms the system by remote control, a squawk
acknowledgement is produced once in the local sounders.
3.4.1 Entry Delay
An entry delay enables the user to enter the site through a specified door
(determined as a delay zone) using a predetermined path, without setting off
an alarm. The entry delay is set at 30 seconds by default.
After entry, the user must disarm the system before the entry delay expires. A
progress annunciation of slow-rate warning beeps sound upon detection of
the specified zone. The system counts down the last 10 seconds of the delay
indication if enabled or the warning beeps become faster.

Operating the HLX-24
HLX-24 User Manual 13
3.5 System Alarm
Alarms trigger for panic, fire, 24-hour audible and silent conditions for 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. When premises are in Armed Away, all delayed,
interior, and perimeter zones are protected. When premises are in Armed
Home (Stay), all delayed and perimeter zones are protected (interior zones are
ignored).
Once in Alarm mode, the system transmits an alarm event to the monitoring
station (if configured).
Call Waiting Policy:
*70 is added to the beginning of the phone number to disable call waiting to
ensure that the connection failure was not due to the use of the Call Waiting
Cancel feature on a non-call-waiting line.
In addition, the system notifies the user of the alarm by phone (if configured).
A local siren is heard if configured.
All events are saved to an event log.
3.5.1 Abort Window Time
When this option is enabled, the system sounds a warning, but the central
station does not receive notification of the alarm if the user disarms the system
within the specified alarm abort time.
3.5.2 Alarm Cancel
The Alarm Cancel window is a period of time starting at the end of the abort
window period, during which a user can cancel the alarm. The Alarm Cancel
window applies to all alarms that have been subjected to the Abort window. If
an alarm had previously been transmitted, an Alarm Cancel event signal is
transmitted to the monitoring station if the control panel is disarmed during
the Alarm Cancel window.
3.5.3 Zone Cross
The zone cross option requires an opening of two zones within a given time
period to initiate an alarm event sequence. If one linked zone is opened and
the other linked zone is not opened, a zone cross error is sent to the
monitoring station.
3.5.4 Swinger Zone Shutdown
If there are two or more opening events in an armed non-fire zone, the system
ignores the zone. The zone is restored after disarming the system or
automatically after 8 hours.

Operating the HLX-24
14 HLX-24 User Manual
3.5.5 Fire Alarm
Fire alarm verification is an available option on fire zones. When used the
system begins and Alarm Transmission Sequence once the conditions for fire
alarm verification are met.
The Fire Verify setting double checks the state of the fire detectors.
When there is a fire sensor alarm signal, a siren is heard immediately. A 60-
second retard-reset period starts during which every additional fire alarm signal
is ignored. After this period, an additional timeout of 60 seconds starts, which is
the confirmation period, during which a fire sensor alarm signal causes an event
transmission to the monitoring station.
When the confirmation period expires, the fire zone is automatically restored
and ready for a new fire alarm session.
