Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay.
Exit Delay
Exit DelayExit Delay
Exit Delay
Exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated exit door(s) without setting off an
alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after arming your system in any arming mode and
Alpha Display keypads display the message “You May Exit Now.” When “You may exit now”
disappears, the system is fully armed. If programmed, a slow beeping will sound during the
exit delay period until the last 10 seconds, which then changes to fast beeping (alerting you
to the end of exit delay). If you cannot leave by this time, you should stop, disarm the system,
and start over to avoid a false alarm.
Exit Delay Restart/Reset.
If you wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after
arming STAY, you can re-start the exit delay at any time – simply press the [] key, then
let that person in (the perimeter zones remain armed). The system automatically re-arms the
entry/exit door when exit delay expires, which avoids having to disarm the system and then
re-arm it again.
In addition, when the system is armed AWAY, reopening and closing the entry/exit door
before exit delay time expires (e.g., reentering to get a forgotten item) will reset the exit
delay time once.

Entry Delay
Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated
entrance door. 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 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. The beeps
stop when a code is entered, but will restart after about 15 seconds if an invalid code is
entered.
You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using the INSTANT or
MAXIMUM arming mode. This mode provides greater security while on the premises or
while away for extended periods of time.
See your installer for your delay times.
