Exit Alarms - First Alert FA168C-CN User Manual

Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior
zone is faulted when the exit delay ends (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds
an alarm and starts the entry delay timer. If you disarm the system before the entry
delay ends, the alarm sound stops and the message "CANCELED ALARM" or "CA" is
displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. No
message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station.
To clear the exit alarm condition, the open zone must be made intact; to clear the
display, enter your code plus OFF.
If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends, and an entry/exit door or
interior zone is still open, the alarm sound continues and an "exit alarm" message is
sent to the Central Monitoring Station. The message ""EXIT ALARM" or "EA" is
displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. To
stop the alarm, the system must be disarmed (your code plus OFF); to clear the
display, enter your code plus OFF a second time.
An "exit alarm" also results if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two
minutes after the end of the exit delay.
