NetworX – Arming Modes

AWAY is a arming mode that is used when the user is away from the premise and wants the interior protected. Listed below are the steps to arm in the AWAY Mode:

Step 1

  • Close all protected doors and windows.
    • Ready light will be on or flashing when all protected zones and sensors are secure. NOTE: If any zones are bypassed, a sensor in that zone can be violated without affecting the ready light.
    • The security system will not arm if the ready light is not on or flashing.
    • If the power light is off, you have no AC power. Restore power if possible. If not, contact your installing company.

Step 2

• Enter your 4 or 6 digit user code to arm the system.

• The armed and exit lights will illuminate.
• You may now leave the building.
Note: The exit light will flash rapidly for the last 10 seconds of the exit delay as a warning to the user that the exit time is about to expire. The user may wish to disarm and rearm the system if more time is needed.

ARMING YOUR SYSTEM IN THE “STAY” MODE

STAY is used is a arming mode that is used when the user is inside the premise and wants protection around the perimeter. Listed below are the steps to arm in the STAY Mode:

Step 1

Close all protected doors and windows.
• Ready light must be on or flashing when all protected zones and sensors are secure. NOTE: If any zones are bypassed, a sensor in that zone can be violated without affecting the ready light.
• The security system will not arm if the ready light is not on or flashing.
• If the power light is off, you have no AC power. Restore power if possible. If not, contact your installing company.

Step 2

• Enter your 4 or 6 digit user code.
• If “Auto Bypass” is enabled, all interior zones will be bypassed if you do not leave through a designated entry/exit door. If Auto Bypass is enabled, omit Step 3.
• When “Auto Instant” is enabled, if you do not leave through a designated entry/exit door the instant light will illuminate indicating that the entry/exit doors no longer have an entry delay. If “Auto Instant” is enabled, omit Step 4.8

Step 3

• Press the [STAY] key.
• The stay light will illuminate indicating that all interior zones are bypassed. (All interior devices will bypass automatically, giving the user freedom of movement within the interior area.)
• The bypass light will illuminate if any zone(s) are bypassed. If any zone(s) have been bypassed previously by the user, the light(s) corresponding to the bypassed zone(s) will illuminate, alerting the user that a zone(s) may be unprotected and can be faulted without an alarm.

Step 4

• To toggle from a “delayed entry” mode to an “Instant” mode, press the [STAY] key again.
• The instant light will illuminate indicating that the entry/exit doors have no entry delay.

USING THE QUICK ARM 

The Quick Arm feature may be used if it is enabled. Quick Arm will allow the user to arm the security system in the AWAY mode by pressing the [EXIT] key, or arm in the STAY mode by pressing the [STAY] key. This feature is used for ARMING ONLY, and will not disarm the security system. This is ideal for a maid or baby sitter code, etc.

CHANGING MODES WHILE SYSTEM IS ARMED

ƒ Pressing the [STAY] key will turn on/off (toggle) a delay on entry/exit doors and turn on/off (toggle) the instant light.
ƒ (Optional) Press the [BYPASS] key at this time to turn on/off (toggle) all designated interior zones.
ƒ (Optional) When armed, pressing the [EXIT] key will start the exit delay, enabling you to leave the building.

IMPORTANT
The instant light needs to be off at this time if you plan on re-entering the building; otherwise you will create an alarm. You may restore an entry delay by pressing the [STAY] key again.

DISARMING THE SYSTEM

When you enter the protected area through one of the designated Entry/Exit doors, the keypad control will sound a continuous tone for the duration of the entry delay time, or until you enter a valid code. The red armed light will go off and the tone will stop. The security system is now DISARMED. If a valid code is not entered before the end of the entry delay, an alarm will occur.

(NOTE: If the red armed light is flashing during the entry delay, the alarm system has been activated in your absence. Leave the building immediately and call your alarm company and/or the police from a safe location.)

CANCEL / ABORT FEATURE 

The cancel light will flash during an abort delay time. If a code is entered followed by the [CANCEL] key while this light is flashing, all abort-able reports will stop the communication process. Entering a code followed by the [CANCEL] key during or after an alarm report to the central station will cause the cancel light to come on. It will stay on until the central station has received the cancel report.
