Understanding Arming Modes
You can arm the system for multiple scenarios:
Arm Away – Best for leaving your home unattended
Arm Stay – Ideal for hanging out at home
Arm Night—Best for when everyone is in bed
Dierent arming modes use dierent rules for when sensors are tripped and for Entry/Exit delays.
An Exit delay is a short period of time after the system is armed for you to leave the premises. Entry
delay gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter the premises. You must enter a valid
keypad code within the Entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.
Arm Away mode is used when everyone is leaving the house. The following rules apply:
Alarm trips immediately if a monitored Perimeter zone (non-entry/exit
door or window) is opened.
Interior motion detectors are armed.
Entry/Exit zones start an Entry Delay.
Exit Delay starts when the system is armed.
Arm Stay mode is used to arm the system when there are people in the premises. The following
rules apply:
Alarm trips immediately if a monitored Perimeter zone (non-entry/exit
door or window) is opened.
Interior motion detectors are armed.
Entry/Exit zones start an Entry Delay.
Exit Delay starts when the system is armed.
Exit Delay does not beep and is twice the length of Alarm Away mode.
Arm Night mode, is used when everyone is going to bed.
This mode works the same as Arm Stay except that there is no Entry Delay period. If an entry/exit
zone is opened, an alarm sounds immediately.

Arm Stay Mode
Arm Night Mode
There is still an Exit Delay period that works the same as in Arm Stay mode.NOTE:

Arming and Disarming the System
The Security status of your security system is displayed in the Security Status content area.
Disarmed - Ready
When your security system is disarmed and ready to be
armed, the security status will be shown as “Disarmed” with
a green shield. Tap the big green circle to arm your system.
Armed
When your security system is armed, the security status will
be shown as “Armed Away”, “Armed Stay”, or “Armed Night”
based on the arm mode selected when the system was
armed. The status will also show you the date and time that
the security system was armed.
Disarmed - Not Ready
A grey shield is displayed, when your security system is
disarmed, but unable to be armed due to an open zone or
an alert that prevents arming. The status below “Disarmed”
will advise how many zones are preventing you from arming
your system and whether the status is caused by an open
zone, an alert, or both!

10 TouchScreen TCA 400 Getting Started Guide – Installation
Zones that are currently preventing you from arming the system are easily distinguished by the
dierent row color.
Tapping the button will temporarily turn o, or “bypass” the aected zones
so you can arm your security system.
Tapping the grey Security Shield will open a Bypass Options screen which will allow you to see
the current status of all of your security zones, and give you the option to bypass all Arm-Blocking
Zones, or bypass any zone individually. If the aected zones are closed or alerts are resolved the
status will automatically update to Disarmed - Ready.
Bypassed Zones are NOT armed and will not trigger an alarm ifIMPORTANT NOTE:
tripped while the system is armed.

arm mode.
Select the desired arm mode (not required
for Away) and enter your keypad code.

Arming the System from Touchscreen
To arm the system from Touchscreen:
Special Rules
If you selected Arm Away mode, you have until the Exit Delay is over to exit the premises.
Otherwise, the system is automatically armed in Arm Stay mode. There is still an Exit Delay
period for the other Arm modes, but they do not require that the door open and close during
the period.
If you open and shut an Entry/Exit door during the Exit Delay and then re-enter the premise, the
Exit delay restarts at 120 seconds for Arm Stay and Arm Night or 60 seconds for Arm Away. It will
only do this one time.
If an Entry/Exit door is left open at the end of Exit Delay, the Entry Delay immediately starts and,
if the system is not disarmed, an alarm will sound.

Delay is over. You can choose to cancel the arming process.
To cancel the arming process:
If a valid keypad code is not entered by the end of the Entry Delay period, an alarm sounds. From
the time an alarm sounds, for most reasons, you have 30 seconds to enter a valid keypad code to
disarm the system and prevent an alarm being sent to the central monitoring station. This is called
the Alarm Transmission delay or the Abort Window.
The Alarm Transmission Delay is a required period that prevents a report to the central monitoring
station if an alarm was triggered innocently.
When you enter an armed premises, an Entry Delay period starts:

Do not wait until an emergency occurs to make a plan. Talk to each other about what each
person should do in dierent types of emergency.
Learn your security system. Get to know how to arm and disarm it and what to do when the
authorities or central monitoring calls.
Make sure everyone (who should know) knows the Secret Word, when to use it, and that it
should not be shared.
Understand the dierence between your keypad code and the duress code.
Understand that you should never enter the premises if you hear an alarm. Call police from a
cell phone or a neighbor’s phone.

Door/Window Sensors
Install door/window sensors at every possible location of entry, both upstairs and down.
Recommendations for Sensor Installation and Placement
A motion detector facing the following can cause false-alarms or failures in detection:
Direct sunlight
Cold drafts
Windows
Uninsulated walls
Heat sources such as replaces and heating vents
Moving objects such as fans
Air conditioning vents
Glass furniture
Obstructions such as curtains, plants, large furniture, doors
The lanes of trac most used by people in your home are also those most likely to be used by
intruders.
Foyers, stairways, hallways, and entrance-ways are excellent locations for a motion detector.
Do not place motion detectors at the end of hallways where an intruder will be walking
directly toward or away from the detector. For best coverage, mount the motion so that the
likely direction of intruder motion is across the motion detector’s pattern.
Motion Detectors
When placing motion detectors, anticipate trac patterns:
Free roaming pets pose special problems for motion detectors. Your installer hasNOTE:
been trained to help you congure your installation to address your specic pet needs.
