How do I Partially Arm the Perimeter?
Solution
Partially Arm the Perimeter
COMMAND 8 is used to arm the perimeter of your building while the selected portions of the perimeter remain disarmed. Perimeter zones that are not secure (faulted) when COMMAND 8 is entered, are automatically bypassed and are not included in the system. COMMAND 8 does not arm the interior of your building. Exit delays are provided with this arming command. Although this command does not send a "Closing Report" to the Central Station, it will still send alarms.
NOTE: Bypassed zones (not armed with the system) cannot be armed again until the system has been disarmed, the zones returned to normal, and the system is armed again. Bypassing a zone will compromise your protection. Enter your personal passcode, plus ENT , to cancel.
Application Use this command in residential systems to arm the front of your house while the interior and the rear perimeter doors are left unarmed. This gives you freedom of movement between the house and patio.
To arm with COMMAND 8: 1. Before arming with COMMAND 8, decide which zones are to be left disarmed. Fault the zones by leaving a door or window open. The zone(s) must remain open until after the exit delay time expires. 2. Press the COMMAND bar. The Command Mode indicator light comes on. 3. Press the 8 key. The PERIMETER indicator light begins to flash. This indicates that the system has begun exit delay time. When the exit delay has expired, the PERIMETER indicator is continuously lit. 4. When performing a COMMAND 8, and no zones are faulted, or the zones return to normal before the exit delay time expires, the system is armed as in COMMAND 3. 5. To disarm your security system or cancel COMMAND 8, enter your personal passcode and press ENT .
