STAY OR
AWAY ARMING (residential
systems only)

STAY: Bypasses interior motion detectors while you are at home. Perimeter remains armed.

AWAY: Arms the whole system
EXIT BUTTON :

Allows someone to leave the house early in the morning and leave the system armed for anyone still inside.

MULTIPLE
USER CODES 		The system has the capability of providing multiple user codes. Each individual arming and disarming the alarm system can have a different 4-digit code that can be changed as often as you wish. This feature can be especially beneficial to commercial accounts that have employees who come and go at varying time schedules. If required, all alarm system arming and disarming codes and times can be recorded at the monitoring station.
ZONE BYPASSING You are able to bypass a zone or group of zones on the system while still leaving the rest of the system armed.
DOOR CHIME FEATURE This feature can be easily turned on or off at any time by using the keypad. If the door chime feature is enabled, when a door or window is opened or closed, the keypad will chime a few times to alert you that a door has been opened or closed. This can be a handy feature when someone is home alone and does not have the system armed. They'll always be notified when the door is open. A great help for babysitters to keep track of escaping children or to notify business owners when a customer enters.

CUSTOMIZED ENTRY & EXIT DELAY TIMES

Doors may be programmed for different delay times. More time may be required to reach a keypad to disarm the system. The least amount shortest amount of delay time is recommended for any system.

BUILT-IN KEYPAD
PANIC BUTTONS

Each keypad is equipped with three panic buttons (police, fire and ambulance), so the nature of the emergency can be specified to ensure the proper responders are sent.

What is a false alarm? How do I turn off the alarm system if I set it off by mistake? What happens if the phone lines are cut and / or damaged? What happens if there is a power outage or failure? Will my pet set off the alarm system in my home? What if I have some sort of problems with my security system in the middle of the night, a weekend or holiday?
