ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS
General Information
Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay. When you arm
your system, exit delay gives you time to leave through the entry/exit door without
setting off an alarm. Entry delay gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter
through the entry/exit door. The system must be disarmed, however, before the entry
delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad will beep slowly during the entry de-
lay period, reminding you to disarm the system.
You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using either INSTANT or
MAXIMUM arming modes. These modes can provide greater security while you are
sleeping or while you are away for extended periods of time.
See your installer for your delay times and record them here:
Exit Delay:
seconds
Entry Delay:
seconds
Remember, there will be no entry delay
when arming INSTANT or MAXIMUM.
Exit Delay
Alerting Sound
If so programmed by your installer, when arming AWAY (see page 18) or MAXIMUM (see
page 19), slow beeps will sound from the keypad during exit delay, turning to fast beeps
during the final five seconds of the delay time.
Ask your installer if this is active for your system, and if so, check here:
