Entry/Exit Delays
Exit Delay
Exit delay begins immediately after arming the system, and gives you time to leave through the designated
exit door without setting off an alarm. A slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period, if
programmed.
Exit Alarms Exit Alarm Active
To minimize false alarms sent to the alarm monitoring company, your system may have been programmed
for this feature. Ask your installer if Exit Alarm is active for your system.
Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted when
the exit delay ends (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds an alarm and starts the entry delay timer. If
you disarm the system before the entry delay ends, the alarm sound stops and the message "CA" is
displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the
alarm monitoring company. To clear the exit alarm condition, the open zone must be made re-secured; to
clear the display, enter your code plus OFF.
If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends, and an entry/exit door or interior zone is still
open, the alarm sound continues and an "exit alarm" message is sent to the alarm monitoring company. The
message "EA" is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. To stop
the alarm, the system must be disarmed (your code plus OFF); to clear the display, enter your code plus
OFF a second time. An exit alarm also results if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two
minutes after the end of the exit delay.
Entry Delay
Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated entrance door.
You must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad beeps
during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the system. There are two entry delays (if
programmed). The first is for your primary entrance and the second can be used for a secondary entrance,
where a longer delay is required to walk to the keypad to disarm the system.
You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using the
NO DELAY
key when arming. This can
provide greater security while on the premises or while away for extended periods of time. See ARMING
THE SYSTEM section for procedure.
See your installer for delay times programmed for your system.
