Away Arming Arming the system in the Away mode will have all interior zones and perimeter zones active. If motion is detected in the interior zones, or if one of the perimeter zones is violated, the alarm sequence will begin. To arm in the Away mode, enter your access code and exit the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door. The system will recognize that occupants have left the premises. Once the exit delay expires, the system will be fully armed. Audible Exit Fault In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an improper exit when arming the system in the Away mode. In the ...

If the alarm was unintentional, call local authorities immediately to avoid an unnecessary response. You can determine the source of the alarm by following the instructions in the “Disarming” section (see page 6). Once the source of the alarm has been corrected, the panel can be restored to ...

There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly. It is thus very important that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed. 1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan. 2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since many fires occur at night, special attention should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters. 3. Escape from a bedroom must be possible without opening the interior door. Consider the following when making your escape plans: • Make sure that all perimeter doors and windows are easily opened. E ...
