14 ZeroWire User Manual
In Stay Mode – Entry/Exit zones will be active, and zones with the Stay or Night Mode
property will be bypassed. Entry via a zone with the Entry/Exit property will start the
partition entry timer as normal.
This will allow you to move around inside your home without causing the system to sound
an alarm. A person entering the house will have the ability and time to disarm the system
as usual.
In Instant Stay Mode – Entry/Exit zones will be active with entry delay time removed, and
zones with the Stay or Night Mode property will be bypassed. Entry via a zone with the
Entry/Exit property will trigger an instant alarm.
This is a higher level of security and requires you to disarm the system (from inside or
remotely) before entering the protected area. No person will be able to enter the house
without triggering an alarm.
In Night Mode – Entry/Exit zones will be active with entry delay time removed, zones with
the Stay property will be bypassed, zones with the Night Mode property will be active.
Entry via a zone with the Entry/Exit property will trigger an instant alarm.
This is a higher level of security and requires you to disarm the system (from inside or
remotely) before entering the protected area. No person will be able to enter the house
without triggering an alarm.
Example
For example, in a two-level home, the upstairs motion sensors are programmed as Stay
and the downstairs motion sensors are programmed as Night Mode. The first press of the
Stay button arms the system in Stay Mode, allowing free access in the downstairs and
upstairs levels and will start the entry delay if someone enters through an Entry/Exit zone
such as the front door.
The second press of the Stay button arms the system in Instant Stay Mode, allowing free
access in the downstairs and upstairs level and will trigger an instant alarm (no entry
delay) if someone enters through an Entry Exit zone such as the front door. This prevents
even authorized users from entering the area unless it is disarmed first (for example, by
someone inside the area).
The third press of the Stay button arms the system in Night Mode, allowing free access in
the upstairs level and will trigger an instant alarm (no entry delay) if someone enters the
protected Night Mode area downstairs. This prevents even authorized users from entering
the area unless it is disarmed first (for example by someone inside the Stay area).
Arm your system in Stay Mode
Use Stay Mode when you are staying in the premises and you want the perimeter
protected whilst allowing you to move around inside without setting the alarm off.
Normally all Stay Mode zones must be secure before you can arm in Stay Mode.
If the Ready Light is flashing green then “forced arming” is enabled. This means some
zones are not secure but you can still arm your security system. Read more about the
Forced Arming Feature on the previous page.
