Turning On the System (Arming) 
Your security system can be turned on (armed) in 
many different ways, depending on the arming 
command used. Arming Commands are those 
commands used to turn on the system. The most basic 
arming command is to arm the entire system. The 
simplest way to arm your system is to enter your 
personal passcode or press [COMMAND] [1]. 
There are several other arming commands to turn on 
the system. These are described later in this manual. 
To Turn Your Security System On (Arm): 
1.
 
Enter your passcode and press 
ENTER. 
 
2.
 
The keypad briefly displays 
AREA 1 NAME 
TEXT is now arming…
 
and the exit delay tone begins. After exit delay 
time expires, 
 
the display changes to idle armed text. 
 
 
Turning Off the System (Disarming) 
Entering your personal passcode turns off your security 
system. When the system is turned on, you must enter 
through a designated entry door to prevent an instant 
alarm condition. Opening the door starts entry delay 
time and the Keypad emits a pulsing “beep” tone to 
remind you to turn off the system. Enter your passcode 
before the delay time expires and the system will turn 
off.  
If you enter through the wrong door or fail to disarm 
before the entry delay time expires, you will cause an 
alarm. 
If this happens, silence the alarm (by entering your 
personal passcode and pressing 
ENTER) and call your 
security company to let them know that it is not an 
emergency situation. 
 
To Turn Your Security System Off (Disarm): 
1.
 
Enter your passcode and press 
ENTER. 
 
5.
 
You must press the 
ENTER key within 5 seconds 
of entering your passcode, or the passcode entry 
will be invalid. 
6.
 
The display returns to idle disarmed text. 
 
Turning On the System (Arming) With a 
Duress Passcode  
Your passcode may have a special duress feature that is 
simply your personal passcode with its last digit 
increased by 1 or 2. 
If an intruder demands that you arm or disarm the 
security system, you can use your duress passcode. The 
duress passcode arms or disarms the system 
and 
sends 
an alarm report to your security company. There is no 
alarm tone or visual indication at the premises that the 
report is sent. Check with your security company 
before attempting to use this feature.
