Configuring the Entry/Exit Delay Periods

The Entry Delay period is the amount of time from an Entry/Exit sensor being faulted until an alarm
sounds. The customer has until the end of the Entry Delay period to enter a valid keypad code. There is
no Entry Delay period for Perimeter type sensors (such as window sensors or non-entry door sensors).
There is an audible beeping during the Entry Delay period. This beeping sound is not configurable and
cannot be muted.
UL Installations: For UL residential burglary alarm installations, the Entry Delay period shall not be set
above a maximum of 45 seconds.
SIA Guidelines: The Entry Delay time must default to 30 seconds. The combined Entry Delay and abort
window should not exceed 1 minute.
The Exit Delay period is the amount of time that starts when the security system is armed. The customer
has this period of time to exit through an Entry/Exit sensor doorway. If the customer does not exit during
this period, the system cannot be armed in Arm Away state. The system arms in Arm Stay state. There is
an audible beeping during the Exit Delay (once per second) that speeds up during the last 10 seconds of
the Exit Delay (twice per second).
UL installations: For UL residential burglary alarm installations, the Exit Delay time shall not exceed 120
seconds.
SIA Guidelines: The Exit Delay time defaults to 60 seconds. The minimum Exit Delay is 45 seconds.
The Entry/Exit Delay periods are configurable by an Installer only.
Note: The default Entry/Exit Delay periods may be different than the values shown.
