PRT CTRL Integrated Controller Reference Manual

• If the area is armed, it will be displayed if the area belongs to the keypad group
and the disarm group.
By default all keypads have access to all areas and the ability for a person to control
an area is processed by their arm/disarm groups assigned to their access level. By
default if an area is assigned to the disarm group of a user they will also have
access to arm that area.
Regular Arming
Regular arming arms your area using a standard or regular arming process and will arm all
zones within the selected area. The selected area can only be armed if it is in the “disarmed”
state and all zones are closed. To arm the selected area, you must be able to access it, refer
to the Area Security section on page 30.
• Access the area status display screen as explained in section Area Status Display
on page 29. Using the scroll keys [ ] select the area that you want to control.
*Area 001
is DISARMED
• From the Area Status Display screen, press the [ARM] key to regular arm the area.
Pressing the [ARM] key starts the exit delay, if programmed. It enables all the
zones assigned to the area and checks that they are ready to be armed. The area’s
status will then change showing each step in the regular arming process. When the
area is armed the area status will change to the ARMED state. If an exit delay is
programmed the area will enter the exit delay cycle. Refer to the Arming Failure
section on page 39 for messages during the arming process or if the area cannot
arm.
• Press the [DISARM] key at any time during the arming process to abort the
arming process and return the area to the DISARMED state.
• Press the Clear key to exit.
The area status display can be programmed to display only selected area's to
certain users. The area security control with the Protégé allows specific groups of
area's to be displayed to a user, refer to the Area Security section on page 30. Refer
to the Access Levels Section on page 60 for information on how to set and program
area groups in access levels.
Force Arming
Force arming allows you to quickly arm your system even though zones are open. The open
zones are then ignored by the system while the arming process takes place. If an open zone
closes after the area is armed, the zone is no longer ignored by the system and the area will
generate an alarm if the zone is opened again. The area can only be force armed if its status
is “disarmed” and if it the open zones have the Force Arming option turned on.
• Access the area status display screen as explained in section Area Status Display
on page 29. Using the scroll keys [ ] select the area that you want to force arm.
