Forced Arming AWAY
Forced arming allows you to arm the system /
partition even though one zone or several zones are
disturbed, and the NOT READY message is
displayed.
Automatic forced arming only works if the installer
allowed this option while programming your system.
Disturbed zones will be bypassed - they will not be
armed. The protected site will not have maximum
protection.
Note: When forced arming is carried out, the buzzer
“protests” by emitting a continuous tone during the exit
delay until the last 10 seconds of the delay. You can
silence this signal by pressing the arming button again.
When NOT READY is displayed, Forced arming
“AWAY” is performed as follows:

Forced Arming HOME

Arming in the Latchkey Mode
This mode is useful for a parent at work who wants
to be sure that his children have returned from
school and have disarmed the system. Arming in the
“latchkey” mode means that a special “latchkey”
message will be sent out when the system is
disarmed by a “latchkey user”.
Latchkey users are holders of user codes 5 through 8 or
users of Keyfob transmitters 5 through 8. The latchkey
message is considered an alert and not an alarm, and
is therefore sent to the private telephones programmed
by the user as targets for alert messages.
