Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay.
([LW'HOD\
Exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated exit door 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 5 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. 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 system automatically re-arms 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,
re-entering the premises (e.g., forgot a wallet) through the entry/exit door before exit delay
time expires will reset the exit delay time.
(QWU\'HOD\
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 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.
