Set and unset the system
When to set
The security system should be set if you are the last person to leave the
premises (or your area), for example at the end of the day. When set, any
security device detecting intruders activates an alarm.
When to part set
In case you are still on the premises (or in your area) it is possible to perform a
part set of it. For example, you can secure your garage using part set while you
remain in the house. Notification to the central station may happen depending on
system configuration settings. Contact your installer for more information.
You can use part set for perimeter protection, for example when you secure your
house at night but stay inside. You can move inside of the house, but if someone
tries to enter without unset, this triggers an alarm. Notification to the central
station may be sent depending on system configuration settings. Your installer
can provide details.
Depending on the keypad model, you may be prompted to choose an appropriate
set to part set:
1>Part set 1
2 Part set 2
When to unset
If the area you want to enter is set, you must first unset the alarm system before
you can enter as otherwise you will trigger an alarm. Depending on system
configuration you may be able to tell when an area is set because the LED on the
keypad is lit red. If the armed display is enabled, only the Mains LED will be lit.
Once a valid code is entered, the system status will be shown.
In most cases an entry beeper sounds indicating that the system needs to be
unset or an alarm will occur.
The time limit to leave the premises once set
Once you have set the system, you must leave the premises (or area) within a
pre-set time (“exit time”) as otherwise you will set off the alarm. The manager of
the system needs to inform everyone about this time limit.
Normally, you will hear a beeper during the time allowed to leave the building.
Make sure you know which route to take when leaving the premises.
