How Do You Arm Your Security Alarm System?

How do you arm your security alarm system

If you choose to arm your alarm system by entering a four digit code instead of a quick arm button such as “Stay” or “Away” your system is intelligent enough to determine if you have opened a door and left within the exit time permitted. If you do not open a door within the established delay period the security alarm panel will bypass the motion detector(s) inside the home automatically to prevent a false alarm.

Residential security alarms have two primary options of arming which are the “Stay” and “Away” mode. The main difference of these functions is that the motion detector(s) protecting the interior of the home will be bypassed in the “Stay” mode, Bypassing motion detector(s) allows the homeowner to have the perimeter armed and maintain the comfort and protection while in the home.

When arming your securtiy alarm in the “Away” mode both perimeter and interior devices such as window contacts, door contacts and motion detetors will protect the perimeter and interior of your home.

If you have an alarm wireless system you will have the option of a wireless remote or pendant which is available for convenient arming with the push of a button. This pendant can be added to your key ring for easy use when entering or exiting your home.
