Arming and disarming an intrusion zone

How to arm and disarm depends on the hardware used to set up the zone. If the zone is not secure, it will not arm. This procedure uses the SmartKey display/keypad.
Prerequisites: The access right assigned to your role permit you to arm and disarm.
  1. Ensure that all doors in the zone are secure.
  2. To arm a zone, do one of the following.
    • If the zone is configured with a card reader, swipe your card at the reader.
    • If the card reader has a keypad, enter the PIN.
    • If the zone has an intrusion keypad, press the function key below the check mark.
    If you are using the intrusion keypad, the initial display looks like this:

    The operations are:
    • Arming Text tests the zone to see if it is secure before attempting to arm.
    • Arm with Time Delay arms the zone with a delay to allow the person to leave the area before the zone arms. If the zone is not secure, it will not arm. If you select this option, and Arming Pin Required is set to false, the arming process begins when you touch the check mark. The display beeps and counts down to armed. This allows the person to leave the area before the zone is armed.
    • Force Arm arms the zone immediately. If the zone is not secure, it goes into alarm when it arms.
    • Force Arm with Time Delay arms the zone with a delay. If the zone is not secure, it goes into alarm when it arms.
  6. To test the device, select Alarm Test and touch the check mark.
    If the test fails, a description of the point in alarm scrolls across the bottom line of the display. If the test is successful, it displays Test Successful!
  7. After the test completes, touch the back arrow and select another option.
  8. You may arm, disarm and test an individual zone or multiple zones if all the zones are assigned the same PIN.
    The action takes place when you touch the check mark or after you enter the PIN (if required). If a PIN is required, only the zones associated with the PIN are affected by the action.
  9. To use the PIN, enter it followed by #.
