12Away ModeAway Mode is for arming the system when everyone will be leaving the premises. Away Modearms all sensor-protected perimeter doors and windows, interior motion sensors, interior glass breaksensors, and any other sensor-protected interior doors. The premises must be unoccupied while thesystem is armed. Away Mode is typically used for arming the system during the daytime hours in aresidential installation, and non-business hours in a commercial installation.When the system is armed in Away Mode, you cannot move about the premises without triggeringthe burglary alarm (if the system is installed with interior motion detectors). An alarm will also occurif any sensor-protected door or window is opened or glass breakage is detected (if glass breakagedetectors are installed in your system).Exit and Entry Delays in Away ModeCertain sensors, such as the front door, can be setup by your installer to have a delay before triggeringan alarm. This provides a way for an authorized person to exit and reenter the premises withouttriggering an alarm. The “ Exit Delay” allows time to leave after arming the system. The “ Entry Delay”allows time to enter and 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 ControlPanel’s Arming Screen. Normally this option check box is checked, so the programmed delay doorsallow time for disarming the system after the door is opened. Un-checking this option box removesthe delayed alarm trigger from all sensor-protected doors programmed for delay, causing thoseentrances to instantly trigger the alarm if they are opened in Away Mode. With the Entry Delaydisabled, the system will have to be remotely disarmed with a wireless key fob before entering.Exit Delay RestartThe Exit Delay Restart* option will extend the Exit Delay one time if you need to re-enter thepremises. With the Exit Delay Restart option, re-entering the premises after you have left, butbefore the Exit Delay timer expires, will restart the Exit Delay timer, giving you the full length oftime to leave again. The restart option only works once, each time the system is armed.Silent Control in Away ModeThree options for silencing the beeps and announcements are available when arming or disarmingthe system in Away Mode.• On the Control Panel’s Home and Security Screens, a “Silent Control” button is shown.• On the Arming Screen,a SILENT EXIT check box is provided.• On the the Exit Delay Screen, a SILENCE button is shown.Selecting any of these options will silence the Control Panel beeps and announcements, and whenarming, selecting the option will double the length of the Exit Delay.Quick Exit in Away ModeA programmable option called “Quick Exit*” may be displayed on the Security Screen while thesystem is armed in the Away Mode. Pressing the Quick Exit button starts a timer to allow someoneto exit or enter through a sensor-protected door programmed for delay without having to disarm theentire 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 violatethose sensors when using the Quick Exit feature in Away Mode.Auto Stay ModeThe system may have been programmed by the installer for “Auto Stay Mode*”. If this option is on andthe system is armed in Away Mode, if an exit/entry delay sensor is not triggered before the Exit Delayexpires (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” sectionof this manual to see which options have been set for your system.Burglary Protection
