10 Concord Express User Instructions
Level 1—OFF
Use Level 1 when intrusion detection is not necessary. For example, on an active
Saturday morning—kids playing inside and out; someone working in the garage;
various house projects going on.
Even though Level 1 disarms the system, your system continues to monitor for
fire, smoke, carbon monoxide, and/or panic alarms if your system has these
devices installed.
Here are some other situations in which you’d set the system to Level 1—OFF:
• Upon entering your armed home or business. When entering the armed
premises through a designated delay door, the entry delay time begins. Entry
Delay beeps remind you to disarm the system.
• Before opening a door or window while inside or outside the armed home or
business. When you wake up in the morning and want to get your newspaper,
you must disarm the system before opening the door to prevent an accidental
alarm. (See the section on “Preventing Accidental Alarms” if you would like to
be able to leave quickly when the system is armed.)
• To stop sirens and cancel an alarm. When an alarm condition occurs,
disarming the system turns off any sirens.
To disarm to Level 1—OFF using a touchpad:
1. Press 1. Touchpads display “Enter Code.”
2. Enter your access code. Touchpads display date and time or programmed
text.
3. The system sounds one long beep.
Arming Level 2—STAY
There are times when you want intrusion protection, but still want the freedom to
move around within your house without setting off an alarm. For example, in the
evening when your family is inside for the night. In this and similar situations, arm
your system to 2—STAY.
To arm to Level 2—STAY using a touchpad:
1. Close all protected perimeter doors and windows.
2. Press 2 at any touchpad. Touchpads display, “Enter Code.”
3. Enter your access code. Touchpads display, “Armed to STAY.”
4. The system sounds two short beeps. ARMED indicators on fixed display
touchpads will light (indicator will flash during the exit delay). The exit beeps
begin.
