[INTRO]
Hi DIY-ers, George here from AlarmGrid.
Today, I'm going to be showing you guys how
to disarm your security system using a Honeywell Tuxedo Touch
Keypad.
Now, very first thing I want to put out there, the Honeywell
Tuxedo Touch Wi-Fi Keypad.
A lot of people think that this is the system alone.
Again, this is just the keypad for a Vista Alarm
System, a Vista 15P, 20P, 21iP 21iPLTE, or even a 128BPT.
The cool thing about this system is it's a touch screen,
and it also adds automation to your security system
if you're planning on making your home into a smart home
with a bunch of lights, locks.
A bunch of Z-wave devices.
All right, so for the sake of the video, before I went ahead
and I put the system into an armed state.
So, right now, the screen is turned off.
But if I tap on it, you will see at the very top,
it says Armed Away, and it shows a bypass
just because I have some sensors that
are bypassed at the moment.
So, right now, it is in an Armed Away state,
and when you guys are walking into your home
and you're walking--
you had armed the system before you left, this is typically
what you will see on the system, or if you guys are opening up
your front door, hopefully, that's
set to an entry exit delay so it gives you a little bit of time
to get to the system and punch in your code
before an alarm actually goes off.
I can demonstrate a couple of things.
I can show you guys how to disarm it right now,
and I can also show you guys what
it will look like when you guys open up the door.
So, let's say no sensor has been tripped.
Let's say there's three different arms that you can do.
There's an Armed Stay, so if you guys are staying in the house,
something you guys may want to do
when you go to sleep at night would be an Armed Stay.
You can do an Arm Away, and then the third option is actually
called an Arm Night.
Arm Night is a specific mode, where you can actually
program some motions to Stay active during an Armed Night.
So, as for an Armed Stay, when you do an Arm Stay,
it ignores any motion faults.
That way-- and those people are staying in the house,
it doesn't want you guys to set off a motion
alarm or a false alarm.
So when you do an Arm Night, there
may be some motion detectors that you guys won't ever
walk through at nighttime.
Let's say you have a garage or a basement,
or I don't know, an attic.
Wherever that motion may be, if you guys do an Arm Night,
you have configure that motion to be active during the Arm
Night, then you will have that motion active
and the rest, if you haven't programmed them to,
they'll be ignored.
All right, so, those are your three different armed states.
Right now, mine is in an armed way.
Let's say you guys are already in the house
and you guys want to disarm it from inside the house.
All you have to do is hit Security,
and from there, you're going to see a Disarm button.
You're going to hit Disarm, and you're
going to need to know either the master code or any
of your other subuser codes.
So if you have family members or if you
have this in a commercial location, it's a business
and employees have other codes, they're
going to need to use their codes.
Now, if you're using an installer code,
an installer code can only be used
to disarm if it was armed with the code.
This protects you out there who have got an installations done
by an installer, so that that way they
can't come back later on and disarm your system.
So only an installer code can disarm
if it's been armed by the installer code, which
you should never do.
So, again, we're at this main screen.
You go to Security, you go to Disarm,
and you enter in your master code or your subuser code.
I'm not going to do that right now,
because I want you guys to see what it's going to show you
when I open up the front door.
So, let me go ahead and just back out to the main screen.
So to do this, I have to simulate a door opening.
So I'm going to remove one of the leads on my zone terminals,
so give me just one second.
Once I do this, you should start seeing a countdown begin.
So I just disconnected my front door sensor.
I'm sorry.
I had bypassed that sensor, so it actually
is ignoring that sensor.
Let's go ahead and disarm it.
[BEEPING]
Disarm, 1, 2, 3, 4.
[BEEP]
And it'll show you it's no longer in an armed state.
Now, it just says Not Ready Fault, all right?
That's because I have some sensor is open,
and again, you guys have seen the video.
You can go to faulted zones and check that out right there.
Now, let's go ahead and show you guys
what it looks like with an actual entry delay.
And we're back, so I have now armed the system with only
one of my zones bypassed.
The zone that is actually going to trip the entry delay,
it's not bypassed any anymore, so the system
should be able to read and it should go into a countdown now.
So let me go ahead and remove that wire
to simulate a door opening.
[BEEPING]
The system goes into an entry delay.
Disarm system now.
Now, you have a certain amount of time to get to your keypad,
and entering your code or your subuser code.
I'm going to enter my code.
1, 2, 3 4.
There we go.
All right, so that is--
Disarmed.
Not ready to arm.
That is how you disarm a Honeywell Tuxedo Touch Wi-Fi
Keypad.
Now, one other thing I just quickly
wanted to touch base on.
Let's say you guys have wireless sensors
and there was a trouble, meaning there might have
been a tamper, supervision, or there
might have been an alarm even.
There is the thing that's called a double disarm.
So if you guys look on these three here,
you see Armed Night, Armed Stay, Armed Away,
but then our Disarm button is grayed all right now,
just because we don't have anything
that needs to be cleared.
But let's say an alarm went off or there was
a tamper on a wireless device and you fixed the issue,
and you now need to clear that trouble or that alarm
from the system, you would do what is called a double disarm.
So, even though the system is in an disarmed state,
you can still hit the Disarm button
to clear any of those troubles that you may be having,
all right?
This was is just a quick video showing you guys how to disarm
and the different scenarios of disarming using a Honeywell
Tuxedo Touch Wi-Fi Keypad.
