    • Check the Ready light: steady means ready to arm. Off means a zone is open; zone lights or the LCD identify it.
    • RKP4/8/16: enter your code, then ARM. A 412/816/832 LCD keypad uses Yes. The exit tone starts.
    • The Armed light flashes on an RKP keypad. Leave; the exit tone stops when the system has armed.
    • If your installer has enabled quick arm, press ARM on RKP4/8/16, or Yes on a 412/816/832 LCD keypad, without a code.
    • To cancel exit, enter your code then DISARM on RKP4/8/16, or No on a 412/816/832 LCD keypad.

  • Arm while homeyour codeSTAY
    • Stay arming bypasses interior zones. Close protected doors and windows; check no perimeter zone is bypassed unintentionally.
    • Enter your code, then STAY. It usually arms at once; the Armed light flashes slowly.
    • If your installer has enabled quick arm, press STAY without a code.
    • Once Stay armed, hold STAY until the confirmation tone for Instant Stay: entry doors then trigger an alarm immediately.

    • At other times: your code then DISARM on RKP4/8/16, or No on a 412/816/832 LCD keypad. With one partition, the code alone works.
    • The Armed light on the RKP keypad goes out; a 412/816/832 LCD keypad returns to its normal display.
    • After an alarm, the keypad shows what caused it. The system must be reset before it can arm again.

Why is my keypad beeping or showing a trouble light?

Most keypads beep or light up a trouble indicator when something needs attention, such as a low backup battery, a power cut or a lost phone or internet connection. Your user guide explains what each light or code means on your model. If it keeps happening, or you are not sure, call your installer or monitoring company.

Is anyone watching your alarm?

An alarm that only makes a noise relies on someone hearing it. A monitored alarm reports to our A1 graded, NZSA approved control room, watched 24/7 by a team that is New Zealand owned and operated. We can monitor most existing alarms, so you may not need a new one. Thinking about a new alarm or security cameras? Ask us for a quote.
