ZONE INFORMATION 
15.8 
AREAS: 1234
  Arming Zone Area Assignment
If the zone has been programmed as an Arming Type (AR), the only information to 
enter is the areas that the zone controls.
When the zone changes from normal to shorted, the programmed areas toggle 
between the armed or disarmed condition. When restored to normal, no action 
occurs. When the zone opens from a normal (disarmed) state, a trouble is reported.  
When opened from a shorted (armed) state, an alarm is reported and the zone 
is disabled until you disarm the area(s) from either a keypad or Remote Link™ 
computer.
To visually indicate the armed state of the area(s), you can assign an Armed Output 
to individual areas and use remote LEDs at the keyswitch. The LED turns on or off to 
indicate to the user the armed state of the area(s).
If any bad zones are present when the Arming zone shorts, the LED delays lighting 
for 5 seconds. If during the 5-second delay the Arming zone shorts again no arming 
takes place. If 5 seconds expires without the zone shorting again or restoring to 
normal, the areas arm and bad zones are force armed. To allow bad zones to be 
force armed, the Any Bypass option must be set to YES. If Any Bypass option is set to 
NO, arming does not occur. See the Area Information - Any Bypass section. A priority 
zone cannot be force armed.

TGL  ARM  DIS STEP
  TGL (Toggle) - When the zone changes from normal to shorted, the programmed 
areas toggle between the armed or disarmed condition. When restored to normal, 
no action occurs. When the zone opens from a normal (disarmed) state, a trouble is 
reported. When opened from a shorted (armed) state, an alarm is reported and the 
zone is disabled until you disarm the area(s) from either a keypad or Remote Link.
ARM - When the zone is shorted, the programmed areas are armed. When restored 
to normal, no action occurs. When the zone opens from a normal (disarmed) state, 
a trouble is reported. When opened from a shorted (armed) state, an alarm is 
reported.
DIS (Disarm) - When programmed as an AREA system, a short disarms the 
programmed areas. When programmed as a ALL/PERIM or HOME/AWAY system, a 
short disarms ALL areas. When restored to normal, no action occurs. When the zone 
opens from a normal (disarmed) state, a trouble is reported.
STEP - A short arms the areas and beeps the keypads once. A normal condition 
causes no action. An open condition disarms the programmed areas and beeps the 
keypads for one second.
Note: This arming style is designed for wireless arming pendants. When using an 
arming/disarming keyswitch locate the keyswitch within the protected area.
MNT
  MNT (Maintain) - When the zone shorts, the programmed areas are armed. When 
restored to normal, the programmed areas disarm and any alarm bells silence. 
When the zone opens from a normal (disarmed) state, a trouble is reported. If 
opened from a shorted (armed) state, an alarm is reported and the zone is disabled 
until you disarm the area(s) from either a keypad or Remote Link.
