Burglary Protection Fire Protection SYSTEM OVERVIEW The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or "armed" before it will sense burglary alarm conditions. When the system is armed, faulting one or more protection zones causes an alarm to sound and allows the central station to listen-in to activity at the premises (if your system is so equipped). Your system provides four modes of burglary protection: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT and MAXIMUM, and even allows you to BYPASS selected zones of protection while leaving the rest of the system armed. The system also provides a CHIME mode, for alerting users to the opening and closing of doors and windows while the system is disarmed. Refer to the other sections of this manual for procedures for using these features. The following table lists the four different arming modes and the results of each.

Refer to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEM section for important information concerning fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes from your house. * This control complies with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements for temporal pulse sounding of fire notification appliances.
