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.
