Entry/Exit Delays

Entry Delay

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.

Exit Delay
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 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.
