Again that understanding is incorrect and not part of any of the standards

DD243 Clause 6.4  "Means of Unsetting" states
that one of the following methods must be used;
  1. Prevention of Entry before the IAS (Intruder Alarm System) is unset
  2. Prevention of Entry before all means of Confirmation has been disabled
  3. Opening the Entry door disables all means of Confirmation
  4. Completion of unsetting by PACE
  5. Unsetting is carried out in conjunction with a ARC (Alarm Receiving Centre)
Hence unsetting by keyfob is only one of the allowed methods
Use of a shunt lock is a more acceptable alternative, as is a Fingerprint Reader, otherwise preventing a confirmed alarm when the entry door has been opened even if the code is not entered at the keypad (although this is certainly not for the benefit of the user)
