4.8 Forced Arm On Inputs
The ‘Forced Arm On Inputs’ allows the Engineer to arm / disarm the system using the Engineer
Code, forcing it to arm despite inputs in fault condition, and nominate which inputs must be
triggered to generate an alarm condition. This is a useful feature if you need to test a system in a
building where people are walking around.
NOTE 1: The system will give the correct DigiCom response to the arming, and any
resulting alarm. On disarming the system (With the Engineer code or the User code), the system
will revert to normal mode.
NOTE 2: If the system has been armed by any other code, the Engineer code will not disarm
it.
