Entry/Exit Delays
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 modes. These modes provide greater security while on the
premises or while away for extended periods of time.
See your installer for your delay times.

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 within this delay time period, you should stop, disarm
the system, and start over to avoid a false alarm.
Exit Delay Restart (if programmed): If you wish to open the entry/exit door to let
someone in after arming STAY, you can restart the exit time delay at any time –
simply press the [
✱] key, then let that person in. The system automatically rearms
when the exit delay expires, thereby avoiding having to disarm the system and then
rearm it again.
Additionally, when the system is armed AWAY, reopening and closing the
entry/exit door before exit delay time expires (e.g., re-entering to get a forgotten
item), will reset the exit delay time once.
