Security: Intrusion

Issue How can you arm the perimeter without delays?   Solution   Arm the Perimeter without Delays COMMAND 2 is used to arm only the perimeter of your building, leaving the interior of the building disarmed. This command allows no exit or entry delay time through the perimeter, including the designated delay door. Although this command does not send a "Closing Report" to the Central Station, it will still send alarms. Enter your personal passcode plus ENT to cancel COMMAND 2. Application This arming command is useful in residential systems at night when everyone is home and ready to retire for the evening. In commercial installations, this arming command is useful when you are working late and you want the perimeter of the building armed until you are ready to leave. Arming with COMMAND 2: 1. Ensure that all perimeter zones are secure (interior zones are not armed with this command and may remain faulted while arming with COMMAND 2). 2. Press the COMMAND bar. The Command Mode indicator light comes on. 3. Press the 2 key. The PERIMETER  and INSTANT indicator lights comes on. This indicates that the perimeter zones are armed without entry/exit delay time. 4. To disarm your security system or cancel COMMAND 2, enter your personal passcode and press ENT before the delay time expires.

Issue How to arm entire system with delays.   Solution   To arm the entire system with delays, follow the steps below: COMMAND 1 is used to arm the entire system, both perimeter and interior zones. Once you have entered COMMAND 1, the exit delay time starts. You now have a predetermined amount of time to exit the protected area before the system arms. During the exit period, you may move through motion detectors or any protected area on your way to the exit door without causing an alarm. To cancel COMMAND 1, enter your personal passcode and press ENT. NOTE: If you leave the building after the exit time expires, you may begin the entry delay, or initiate an alarm. If this happens, disarm your system by entering your personal passcode and press ENT . If your system reports to a Central Station, you may need to call them if an alarm occurs. Application COMMAND 1 is useful in applications where you want your cleaning service, a serviceperson or anyone to arm your system when they leave, but you do not want them to have the passcode to disarm the system. COMMAND 1 arms the system, but it will not disarm the system. Arming with COMMAND 1: 1. Ensure that all zones are secure. All of the Zone Status indicator lights on the Command Center should be off. 2. Press the COMMAND bar. The Command Mode indicator light comes on. 3. Press the 1 key. The PERIMETER indicator and the INTERIOR indicator lights begin to flash on and off. This indicates that the system has begun exit delay time. 4. To disarm your security system or cancel COMMAND 1, enter your personal passcode and press ENT before the delay time expires.

Issue How do I change a personal passcode? Solution Personal Passcode Change Your security system provides you with the convenient feature of changing your personal passcode whenever you feel it necessary, without the services of your alarm technician. It is recommended that you write down your old and new passcodes before you begin. Notes Before Beginning: The first and last digits of your new passcode should NOT be the same. Care should be given when entering a passcode containing the same digit in consecutive positions within the new passcode (e.g., "3" in 33467). When entering this type of passcode, it is easy to make mistakes. The passcode can be from 2 to 5 digits in length. The new passcode must begin with the same first digit as the old passcode. Example: If the old passcode is 2563, the new passcode must begin with a "2". COMMAND 5 To change your personal passcode: 1. Ensure that your security system is disarmed. 2. Press the COMMAND bar. The Command Mode indicator lightcomes on. 3. Press the 5 key. Your security system is now in the passcode change mode. 4. Enter the passcode you wish to change. Press the ENT key. 5. Enter the new passcode. Press the ENT key. 6. Enter the new passcode again. Press the ENT key. The CMD light will go out. If the CMD light goes out before completing step 6, you must start the passcode change procedure over from the beginning. 7. Test the new passcode by using it to arm and disarm the system. Do not use any of the Command Center arming commands to arm the system until you are certain that the new passcode is working
