14 XR500/XR100 Canadian User’s Guide Arming and Disarming
Regardless of which conguration is programmed, much of the
operation is similar. Throughout this guide, any differences
between the systems are noted for your convenience.
Arming Functions
Arming or Disarming: You can arm and disarm all areas at one
time or each area individually. You can only arm or disarm areas
authorizedforyourusercode.
Arm All or Selective Arming: After entering your user code, the
system allows you to arm either all of the areas to which you have
access or one or more selected areas. If you choose to arm all
areas, the system begins verifying that all zones in those areas
are in a good condition. If you choose to arm selected areas, the
system prompts you to choose the areas you want to arm.

that are currently bypassed. These zones remain bypassed until
the system is armed and then disarmed.Any 24-hour zones in a

the zone or wait until the zone can be repaired by a service
technician. A force armed zone is ignored by the system until
it restores to normal.A bypassed zone is ignored by the system

General Arming Operation
Your system has been programmed to operate in one of four
congurations:Area,All/Perimeter, Home/Sleep/Away, orHome/
Sleep/Away with Guest.
• Area — Your burglary protection is divided into up to 32
areas. Each area can have a custom name, be turned on or off
independently of other areas, and limit access to only those
users with proper authority.
• All/Perimeter — Your burglary protection is divided into two
areas: Interior and Perimeter.
Perimeter arming is when you are staying inside but want the
comfort of knowing the exterior doors and windows are armed.
Perimeter arming allows you to move freely about inside
without setting off any interior alarms.
All arms both the Perimeter and the Interior of the system. You
want to arm both of these areas when leaving the building and
no one is left inside.
• Home/Sleep/Away— Your burglary protection is divided into
two or three areas: Perimeter, Interior, and Bedrooms.
