Using Schedules 
Delaying the Closing Time 
Your systems programmed schedules may automatically arm the system at a 
predetermined time. In the event a user must stay on the premises later than 
usual, users with master or manager authority levels can manually delay the 
automatic arming (closing) time up to 2 hours. To delay the closing time: 
1.  Enter your security code (master or manager authority levels only). 
2. Press the
  # 
 key, followed by 82. 
3.  A menu prompt will be displayed, asking for the number of hours of delay.  
 
CLOSING DELAY? 
KEY 0-2 HOURS
Enter the desired number of hours of delay, 1 or 2. 
The system automatically exits this mode after 
entry.
  
Note that the delay is from the scheduled closing time, not from the 
time the command is entered.  
IMPORTANT: The selected delay cannot be reduced once it is set. A 1-
hour delay can be increased to 2 hours, though. 
4.  The system will automatically send a message to the central station 
informing them that the programmed schedule has been changed. 
Temporary Open/Close Schedules 
Temporary schedules allow you to override the normal schedules 
programmed by the installer. Temporary schedules can be in effect for up to 
one week, and take effect as soon as they are programmed. 
They are comprised of an arming (closing) time window and a disarming 
(opening) time window. A time window is simply a defined period of time, at 
the end of which arming or disarming will occur.

Programming Device Timers 
General Information 
Device timers consist of an ON time & an OFF time, and selected days of the 
week in which they are active. There are up to 20 timers that can be used to 
control various devices, such as lights or appliances. Your installer will have 
programmed the appropriate devices into the system (up to 96 devices can be 
programmed).  
Each timer controls a single device (designated as an output number) that 
you select. For example, timer 1 might be set to turn the porch lights on at 
7:00PM and turn them off at 11:00PM. Timer 2 might turn on the air 
conditioner Monday-Friday at 4:30PM to cool the premises before you arrive 
at 5:00PM, and turn it off at 10:00PM when you are retiring for the night. If 
desired, different timers can control the same device. For example, timer 2 
could be used Monday-Friday as in the previous example, and timer 3 could 
be set to turn the air conditioner on and off at different times Saturday and 
Sunday. 
To enter the device timer menu mode:  
Enter your security code, then press the
  # 
 key followed by 83.
