Turning On the System (Arming) With a 
Duress Passcode  
Your passcode might have a special duress feature that 
can be your personal passcode with its last digit 
increased by one or two digits. Alternately, some 
systems might have a specific passcode designated as 
the Duress disarm passcode. Consult your security 
company for your security system’s configured duress 
option. 
For example, if your passcode is 1234, your duress 
passcode might be 1235 or 1236. 
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 
a duress 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. 
Turning On the System (Arming) With 
Doors or Windows Open 
If a protected door or window is open, you might have 
the option of “force arming” with that point faulted. 
Faulted points (opened doors or windows) that are 
force armed are not included in the system. The 
remaining points arm normally. 
Force armed points either return to normal operation 
after you turn your system off or return to normal 
when the door or window is closed. Your system might 
not offer force arming or it might be restricted to 
specific points. Contact your security company for 
more information. 
Use your passcode or an arming function to start the 
arming process.

and/or force armed points is set by your 
security company. Check with them to learn 
this number.
