DMP XR: All/Perimeter System Arming

Area Assignment: Your security system is divided into two separate areas. Motion detectors, inside doors, and other interior protection devices are assigned to the Interior area while windows and exterior doors are assigned to the Perimeter area.

Perimeter or All: When arming an All/Perimeter system, the keypad displays PERIM ALL. If you select ALL, you are arming both the Perimeter and the Interior areas of the system. You will want to arm both of these areas when leaving the premises with nobody left inside. Selecting PERIM arms only the perimeter of the system. Perimeter arming is when you’re 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.

Instant: During the exit delay time, you can cancel the exit and entry delays and cause all zones to be instant zones. Just press the far right select key or area under INSTANT while the exit delay is displayed. This immediately arms the exit zones. However, no entry delay is provided and an alarm occurs should an entry door be opened.

System Ready/System Not Ready

When all zones in the system are in a normal condition and can be armed without bypassing, the keypad displays SYSTEM READY. If there are one or more zones that are not in a normal condition, the keypad displays SYSTEM NOT READY. Pressing any select key or area during this display shows the zone number and name allowing you to investigate the problem.
