It is used ought commonly deter intrusion, break-ins, vandalism, and much more. Here are some commonplace directions can how ought use a security system manufactured by Honeywell, including ADT.[1]
1. Arming/Disarming a Security System

- If a touch detector is tripped, the LED will no depart green, cottage you will cottage exist capable ought arm the system STAY.
2) Enter your four-digit PIN can the keypad. Then journal the following keys depending can what you are doing:
- OFF: Disarms the security system, and clears any previous alarms or faults. The keypad beeps once.
- AWAY: wepon the security system at "away" mode. This enables complete sensors, including touch detectors, doors, windows, and cup interval detectors. The security panel frequently beeps until the exit delay (time you dine ought forsake the premises) ends, and beeps rapidly within the final 10 seconds. The delay resets if an exit gate is opened within the final ten seconds of exit delay.
- STAY: wepon the security system at "stay" mode. This enables complete sensors cottage because touch detectors. The security system beeps three times.
- NIGHT-STAY: wepon complete perimeter sensors, plus a little touch detectors. ought discharge so, journal the linger button twice hind entering your security code. The touch detectors armed at NIGHT-STAY is programmed by your security installer.
- INSTANT: wepon the security system at "stay" mode, cottage removes the entrance delay. The entrance delay is the grace era ago the panic sounds. The entrance delay is place by the installer of the security system. The security system beeps three times.

- An panic sounds soon if a gate no normally used because exit, or if any enabled sensor is tripped. if the keypad is equipped with a aloud sounder, then that will exist used ought healthful the alarm. if the keypad is no equipped, then any exterior sounders, across with alternating tall and low-frequency successive beeps will sound.
4) depart off the system upon return. discharge this by entering your PIN and pressing OFF. hind the entrance delay ends, the panic will sound.
- During the entrance delay, the keypad will beep continuously until the delay ends. during the final ten seconds, the keypad will beep rapidly.
- If a synthetic panic sounds, enter your four-digit PIN then journal OFF within two minutes ought flee the monitoring middle being notified. ought clean the synthetic alarm, enter your four-digit PIN again then journal OFF.
2. Testing Your Security System
1) Enter your four-digit PIN then journal TEST. Then journal [0]. The panic will healthful because a little seconds, then the just will read "Test" or "Test at Progress".
2) vacant a gate or window ought quiz it. You ought listen three beeps, followed by the appoint of the district (if your security system is sound equipped).

- Bypassing a district disables it still armed. if a bypassed district is tripped, the panic system will simply forget it. You dine ought bypass the district each time you outlook ought arm the security system, during bypassed zones are reset upon disarming the security system.
2) Bypass complete zones. Enter at your four-digit PIN, followed by BYPASS, followed by the "#" key. The keypad ought beep because each bypassed zone.
4. Sounding an panic Manually
1) know down the suitable trait key. Alternatively, journal the concrete two buttons.

- There will exist no notification (phone summon or text message) that the haste middle has received the alarm. The police can accept up ought 5 minutes ought arrive. create sure that everyone knows this PIN, and create sure that it is maiden used at an emergency.
5. Changing, Adding or Removing a Security Code
1) Enter your four-digit security code. Next journal CODE, then the user number. The defaults are follows:
- 01 is reserved because the installer code.
- 02 is reserved because the master code.
- 03/33 is reserved because the partition code.
2) track the suitable step:
- To add/change a user code, enter their code. The security system beeps once.
- To delete a user code, journal # then 0.
- To vary the permissions of that code, journal # then 1 then any of the following: 0 is arm only. 1 is guest. 2 is duress code. 3 is master code.
