Arming the System (Securing the Building)
Follow these steps when you are the last person leaving the premises:
- Check the Area: Ensure all protected doors and windows are securely closed.
- Present Your Card: Tap your ID Badge against the HID card reader located below the Bosch LCD keypad.
- Initiate Exit Delay: The keypad beeps, and the exit countdown appears on the screen.
- Exit the Building: You must exit through the designated entry/exit door before the timer reaches zero.
- Verify System is Fully Armed:
- The Lock Icon on the Bosch keypad will turn Red.
- The LED indicator on the HID card reader will turn Red.
- The keypad display will show the text "Armed."
Disarming the System (Entering the Building)
Follow these steps immediately upon entering the building to avoid a false alarm:
- Enter the Building: Use your designated entry door. The keypad will likely emit a steady tone, indicating the entry delay has started.
- Present Your Card: Tap your ID Badge against the HID card reader.
- Verify Disarming:
- Look for the following visual cues to confirm the system is off:
- The LED indicator on the HID card reader will turn Green.
- The Lock Icon on the Bosch keypad will turn Green.
- The keypad display will show text stating the system is "Disarmed."
