    Page 30 and 31 of the M1 Installation Manual describes the M1 Zone Definitions and how they will respond depending on the level of armed state of the M1 — see the Quick View of Arming Modes. Generally speaking:

    • The Main Doors you use to enter and exit would be Def 01 – Entry/Exit
    • Motions Detectors can be Def 04 Interior or 05 Interior Follower . If you have to cross in front of a motion detector in order to get to a keypad to disarm then set the DEF = 05
    • Windows in most cases would be DEF = 03 Perimeter Instant as well as doors that are not the primary points of entry can be DEF  = 03
    • Glass Break Sensors can be configured several ways depending on how you want them to respond DEF = 24 HR activates an alarm regardless of the armed state, DEF = 03 would create an alarm under any level of STAY Mode or in Away/Vacation Mode,  DEF = 04 would create an alarm only in the Away Mode.
