Entry Delay
Entry Delay is the amount of time the system gives you to disarm the system after enter-
ing the home (between 5 and 254 seconds). This is programmed by the installer. When
you enter your home you will hear beeps during the entry delay (see the table “Status
Beeps” of this manual to determine the meaning of panel/system beeps).
Your Entry Delay is set for ___ seconds.
Quick Exit
Note
The designated door may be
opened and closed once. If
you close the designated
door behind you when you
exit, you will have to disarm
the system upon reentering.
Leave the designated door
open while using the Quick
Exit feature.
The Quick Exit feature is used when someone wants to briefly leave while the home is
still armed (i.e. get the newspaper). This feature needs to be enabled by your installer.
When you press the Disarm button the panel will announce exit time on. This will allow
a designated exit door to be open for up to 2 minutes without triggering an alarm.
Latchkey
Latchkey is used to notify parents, via a numeric pager or remote phone, if children do
not arrive home at a predetermined time and disarm the system. For example, you set
the Latchkey time for 3:00 pm. If the system isn’t disarmed by that time a message is
sent to your numeric pager (see “Numeric Pager”) or remote phone.
Subdisarm
If your system includes 24-hour protection sensors on items such as gun or jewelry
cases, you must subdisarm the panel before accessing these areas to avoid causing an
alarm. Environmental sensors, such as smoke and carbon monoxide stay active at all
times.
