An Exit delay is a short period of time after the system is armed for you to leave the premises. Entry delay gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter the premises. You must enter a valid keypad code within the Entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.The Security status of your security system is displayed in the Security Status content area. ReadyWhen your security system is disarmed and ready to be armed, the security status will be shown as “Ready” with a green shield background. Tap the big green circle to arm your system.ArmedWhen your security system is armed, the security status will be shown as “Armed Away”, “Armed Stay”, or “Armed Night” based on the arming mode selected when the system was armed. The status will also show you the date and time that the security system was armed. Not ReadyNot Ready is displayed, and the Security Shield background is grey, when your security system is disarmed, but unable to be armed due to an Open Zone or Zone Fault that prevents arming. The status below “Not Ready” will advise how many zones are preventing you from arming your system and whether the status is caused by an open zone, a troubled zone, or both! The Arm Away mode is used when everyone is leaving the house. The following rules apply:    Alarm trips immediately if a monitored Perimeter zone (non-entry/exit     door or window) is opened.    Interior motion detectors are armed.        Entry/Exit zones start an Entry Delay.     Exit Delay starts when the system is armed.The Arm Stay mode is used to arm the system when there are people in the premises. The following rules apply:    Alarm trips immediately if a monitored Perimeter zone (non-entry/exit     door or window) is opened.        Interior motion detectors are armed.        Entry/Exit zones start an Entry Delay.     Exit Delay starts when the system is armed.    Exit Delay does not beep and is twice the length of Alarm Away mode.The Arm Night mode, is used when everyone is going to bed. This mode works the same as Arm Stay except that there is no Entry Delay period. If an entry/exit zone is opened, an alarm sounds immediately. Arm Away ModeArm Stay ModeArm Night ModeThere is still an Exit Delay period that works the same as in Arm Stay mode.NOTE:
10 11TouchScreen TCA 300 Getting Started Guide – Installation TouchScreen TCA 300 Getting Started Guide – InstallationZones that are currently preventing you from arming the system are easily distinguished by the dierent row color. Tapping the                                                       button will temporarily turn o, or “bypass” the aected zones so you can arm your security system.Tapping the grey Security Shield will open a Bypass Options screen which will allow you to see the current status of all of your security zones, and give you the option to bypass all Arm-Blocking Zones, or bypass any zone individually. If the aected zones are closed or troubles are resolved the status will automatically update to Ready. Tap the Security Status shield when it is in Disarmed (Ready) state.1324The Arm State selection screen is displayed with a keypad and “Away” selected as the default Arm State.Select the desired Arm State (not required for Away) and enter your keypad code. The TouchScreen will begin the Exit Delay period and the screen changes to display a countdown timer.The LED turns red when the system is armed. The text of the message will vary, depending on which arming mode you selected.Bypassed Zones are NOT armed and will not trigger an alarm if IMPORTANT NOTE:tripped while the system is armed. Arming the System from the TouchScreenTo arm the system from the TouchScreen:Special Rules      If you selected the Arm Away mode, you have until the Exit Delay is over to exit the premises.      Otherwise, the system is automatically armed in Arm Stay mode. There is still an Exit Delay      period for the other Arming modes, but they do not require that the door open and close during      the period.      If you open and shut an Entry/Exit door during the Exit Delay and then re-enter the premise, the      Exit delay restarts at 120 seconds for Arm Stay and Arm Night or 60 seconds for Arm Away. It will      only do this one time.       If an Entry/Exit door is left open at the end of Exit Delay, the Entry Delay immediately starts and,       if the system is not disarmed, an alarm will sound.

Enter your Keypad Code to stop the arming process.The TouchScreen beeps audibly once every second, until the last 10 seconds when it beeps twice a second.When you arm the system, the Security Status Content area displays a countdown of the number of seconds until the Exit Delay is over. You can choose to cancel the arming process.To cancel the arming process: To disarm the system from the TouchScreen:If a valid keypad code is not entered by the end of the Entry Delay period, an alarm sounds. From the time an alarm sounds, for most reasons, you have 30 seconds to enter a valid keypad code to disarm the system and prevent an alarm being sent to the central monitoring station. This is called the Alarm Transmission delay or the Abort Window. The Alarm Transmission Delay is a required period that prevents a report to the central station if an alarm was triggered innocently. When you enter an armed premises, an Entry Delay period starts:Panic alarms and smoke alarms are reported without an Alarm IMPORTANT NOTE:Transmission delay or an Entry Delay.

Here are some recommendations from the National Fire Protection Association.Glass Break DetectorsFor best detector performance, select a mounting location that is:Within 7.6 m (25 ft) of the protected glassWithin clear view of the protected glassOn the same wall as the protected glassAt least 2 m (6.5 ft) from the oorAt least 1 m (3 ft) from forced-air ductsAt least 1 m (3 ft) from sirens or bells greater than 5 cm (2 in.) in diameterOn a window frame if any heavy window covering is presentMake an evacuation plan for how to leave your home in the case of re or other emergency.Sketch a map of your home that shows all the doors and windows. Discuss the plan with everyone in your home so that everyone will know what to do.Have at least two ways to exit each room. Make sure that windows and doors open easily.Discuss with your family and agree on a single meeting location outside your home.In the event of re, get out and stay out. Don’t go back inside for people, pets or possessions.Do not open a door if the handle is hot.If there is smoke stay low to the ground and go under the smoke.Escape your home before calling the re department. Call the re department and police from the outside meeting place using your cell phone or call from a neighbor’s phone.Practice your home evacuation plan.Do not wait until an emergency occurs to make a plan. Talk to each other about what each person should do in dierent types of emergency.Learn your security system. Get to know how to arm and disarm it and what to do when theauthorities or central monitoring calls.Make sure everyone (who should know) knows the Secret Word, when to use it, and that itshould not be shared.Understand the dierence between your keypad code and the duress code.Understand that you should never enter the premises if you hear an alarm. Call police from a cell phone or a neighbor’s phone.Recommendations for Sensor Installation and Placement Evacuation PlanAdditional Emergency PreparationsAvoid mounting the detector in the following locations:A motion detector facing the following can cause false-alarms or failures in detection:In a cornerOn free standing post or pillarsIn rooms with noisy equipment such as air compressors, bells/ door bell, and power toolsIn bathrooms (a slamming toilet seat will easily fault a glass break detector)Direct sunlightCold draftsWindowsUninsulated wallsHeat sources such as replaces and heating ventsMoving objects such as fansAir conditioning ventsGlass furnitureObstructions such as curtains, plants, large furniture, doorsThe lanes of trac most used by people in your home are also those most likely to be used byintruders.Foyers, stairways, hallways, and entrance-ways are excellent locations for a motion detector.Do not place motion detectors at the end of hallways where an intruder will be walking directly toward or away from the detector. For best coverage, mount the motion so that the likely direction of intruder motion is across the motion detector’s pattern.Motion DetectorsWhen placing motion detectors, anticipate trac patterns:Free roaming pets pose special problems for motion detectors. Your installer has NOTE:been trained to help you congure your installation to address your specic pet needs.
22 TouchScreen TCA 300 Getting Started Guide Issued Date:  April18, 2016The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends the following for the number andplacement of smoke detectors.Place smoke alarms as follows:Camera views are accessible to TouchScreen users and family members who log into the SubscriberPortal. When placing cameras, consider whether what they are monitoring poses any privacy issues.In every bedroom, in hallways, and on every level of the premises, including the attic and basement.High on a wall or on a ceiling (because smoke rises).If a smoke detector is placed on a ceiling, position at least 4 inches (10.2 cm) from the wall.Be careful about placing smoke detectors within 20 feet of a cooking appliance.Smoke alarms are an important part of a home re escape plan.Smoke Detector Installation RecommendationsCamera Installation RecommendationsFor maintaining your smoke detector:Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button.Replace batteries in all smoke alarms at least once a year. If an alarm “chirps,” warning the battery is low, replace battery right away.Replace all smoke alarms when they are ten years old or sooner if they do not respond properly when tested.Maintain a 3 foot (about 1 meter) distance from air supply and return vents.DO NOT install smoke detectors in a garage or near furnaces.Install at least 6 m (20 ft) away from kitchens or other areas where combustion particles arepresent.Install smoke detectors at least 2.5 m (8 ft) away from bathrooms.DO NOT install in dirty, dusty, or insect infested areas.DO NOT install near areas fresh air inlets or returns or excessively drafty areas. Heating and air conditioning vents, fans, and fresh air intakes can drive smoke away from smoke detectors.Remember that dead air spaces may prevent smoke from reaching a smoke detector.Additionally we recommend:
