How to Arm and Disarm Hills/DAS/NX Reliance Alarm Systems

Arming the System in ON Mode

ON Mode is used when the user is away from the premise and wants the interior protected. This is the most common arming method. In other systems, it is sometimes referred to as "Away Arming"
  • Close all protected doors and windows.
  • The Ready light will be lit when all protected zones and sensors are secure.
  • Enter your 4-digit user code to arm the system. The armed and exit lights will illuminate.
  • Exit the building via the designated exit path.
The exit light will flash rapidly for the last 10 seconds of the exit delay as a warning that the exit time is about to expire.
If any zones are bypassed, a sensor in that zone can be violated without affecting the ready light.

Arming the System in Quick Arm Mode

Quick Arm is used when the person arming the alarm system does not have a user code, is leaving the premises and wants the interior protected. "Quick Arm" will arm the system into ON Mode, also known as "Away Arming"

Arming the System in Partial Mode

Partial arming allows you to temporarily exclude some rooms from security arming. For example, you may wish to exclude bedrooms at night when they are in use. Partial mode is also used for protecting exterior doors and windows (the home perimeter) when the user is inside.
Partial arming needs to be enabled by your installer before it can be utilised.
  • Close all protected doors and windows.
  • The Ready light will be lit when all protected zones and sensors are secure.
  • Press the [PARTIAL] key to arm the system partially.

Disarming the System

  • Enter your user code when you enter the protected area through one of the designated Entry/Exit doors.
  • If a valid code is not entered before the end of the entry delay, an alarm will occur.
  • If the red armed light is flashing during the entry delay, this indicates an alarm has occurred at some point when the system was armed.
