Away Mode

Away Mode is for arming the system when everyone will be leaving the premises. Away Mode

arms all sensor-protected perimeter doors and windows, interior motion sensors, interior glass break

sensors, and any other sensor-protected interior doors. The premises must be unoccupied while the

system is armed. Away Mode is typically used for arming the system during the daytime hours in a

residential installation, and non-business hours in a commercial installation.

When the system is armed in Away Mode, you cannot move about the premises without triggering

the burglary alarm (if the system is installed with interior motion detectors). An alarm will also occur

if any sensor-protected door or window is opened or glass breakage is detected (if glass breakage

detectors are installed in your system).

Exit and Entry Delays in Away Mode

Certain sensors, such as the front door, can be setup by your installer to have a delay before triggering

an alarm. This provides a way for an authorized person to exit and reenter the premises without

triggering an alarm. The “ Exit Delay” allows time to leave after arming the system. The “ Entry Delay”

allows time to disarm the system before an alarm is triggered.

When arming the system in Away Mode, an “Entry Delay” option check box is shown on the Control

Panel’s Arming Screen. Normally this option check box is checked, so the programmed delay doors

allow time for disarming the system after the door is opened. Un-checking this option box removes

the delayed alarm trigger from all sensor-protected doors programmed for delay, causing those

entrances to instantly trigger the alarm if they are opened in Away Mode. With the Entry Delay

disabled, the system will have to be remotely disarmed with a wireless key fob before entering.

Exit Delay Restart

The Exit Delay Restart* option will extend the Exit Delay one time if you need to re-enter the

premises. With the Exit Delay Restart option, re-entering the premises after you have left, but

before the Exit Delay timer expires, will restart the Exit Delay timer, giving you the full length of

time to leave again. The restart option only works once, each time the system is armed.

Silent Exit in Away Mode

An option for silencing the exit delay beeps is also available when arming the system in Away Mode.

On the Control Panel’s Arming Screen, a “Silent Exit” option check box is shown. Checking this option

will stop the Control Panel from sounding beeps during the Exit Delay time, and it will double the

length of the Exit Delay. The option resets when the system is disarmed.

Quick Exit in Away Mode

A programmable option called “Quick Exit*” may be displayed on the Security Screen while the

system is armed in the Away Mode. Pressing the Quick Exit button starts a timer to allow someone

to exit or enter through a sensor-protected door programmed for delay without having to disarm the

entire system. When the delay timer runs out, the system returns to the normal Away Mode.

☞ NOTE: If interior sensors are installed in the system in certain areas, do not violate

those sensors when using the Quick Exit feature in Away Mode.

Auto Stay Mode

The system may have been programmed by the installer for “Auto Stay Mode*”. If this option is on

and the system is armed in Away Mode, if an exit/entry delay sensor is not triggered before the Exit

Delay expires (no one left the premises), the system automatically arms in Stay Mode instead of

Away Mode.

* These options can be turned on or off by your installer; refer to the “Installer Set Options” section

of this manual to see which options have been set for your system.
