Special 
- Auto Arm on Door Close: The area will arm 
automatically when any 'door' point in this area 
closes (typ. used with bank vaults). 
Extended Auto Arm 
- Mode: Selections to have the area arm 
automatically when there is no activity detected 
(before the 15 min. closing 'window') and/or 
when no one is present (user-count  
'minimum'); 
Note: Disarm manually if needed. 
- Arming delay: Select a value here to have the 
preceding auto-arm (mode) selection delayed 
(not occur) for a set period of time; 
- Arming level: This sets the arming level for 
activity or user-count based auto-arming (arm to 
'Stay', or fully arm to 'On'); 
Stay: Only perimeter sensors monitored; 
ON
: All sensors monitored. 
- Arm if 'out of schedule': This determines 
whether or not the 'activity' / 'user-count' auto-
arming will be limited to only outside of the 
arming schedule () versus any time (). 
Notes: The arm/disarm schedule is shown in blue text 
on the right. This setting does not affect the 
monitoring
 of activity. When enabled, activity 
monitoring occurs all the time (for the arming levels 
configured for the custom-point-type) and is available 
for other applications (such as "alarm on no activity", 
and output equations).

 LCD  
- LCD Name: A shorter version of the name to be 
displayed at LCD keypads. This is assigned 
automatically, and can also be changed if 
desired (max. 12 chars., plain text). 
- Require Function Key PIN: Whether or not the 
programmable hot-keys 6-9 & 0 will require a 
user with "Function Key" authority to be logged 
in. (Function keys 1-5 do not require ID/PIN 
entry, except at a portable/wireless arming 
keypad). 
Tip: This setting is recommended to help protect 
against false alarms. 
For details on using the function keys on a system 
LCD keypad, refer to the xL (panel/keypad) User's 
Guide. 
What each function key does is set up under 
"Programmable Outputs". 
To enable function-key authority for a user, refer to the

Setting up Area Groups 
About Area Groups 
Area groups provide an easy way to arm and 
disarm named groups of areas through an 
LCD keypad. You can define up to 16 of these 
area groups. Area groups of the same name 
can be armed
 (On) and disarmed (Off) across 
multiple panels through a keypad connected to 
any one of the panels. (Details appear at the 
end of this topic.) 
Enable/Configure: This feature can be enabled or 
disabled through the “Area Group Mode” setting for 
each specific panel. Related

User Authorities
: Only areas in the group for which the 
user issuing the command has the required arm/disarm 
authority will be affected. Ensure user authorities are 
set appropriately.
