Protest during arming
Exit delay
The exit delay is the amount of time the system gives you to exit the home before the system is armed. This is
programmed by the installer. After you arm the system you will hear beeps during the exit delay. See
beeps on page 20.
Silent exit
The silent exit feature silences the status beeps that accompany the exit delay. See
Press Silent after you arm the system to silence status beeps. The panel will still beep at the beginning and end
of the exit delay.
Note: Enabling silent exit doubles the exit delay time.
Entry delay
The entry delay is the amount of time the system gives you to disarm the system after entering the home. This
is programmed by the installer. When you enter your home, you will hear beeps during the entry delay. See
Status beeps on page 20.
Description
Some active sensors cause immediate alarms when tripped. Other sensors, if enrolled in a delayed
response group, start an entry delay that lets you enter the premises and disarm the system. If the
system has not been disarmed by the end of the entry delay, the alarm occurs.
If the system was armed with the no delay feature activated, there will be no entry delay and the
alarm will occur immediately.
When the user arms the system, an exit delay starts. During the delay the user can vacate the
premises through a delayed response door without causing an alarm.
The system may protest an arming level change if certain abnormal conditions exist. If a sensor that
is active in the requested arming level is open, the system sounds protest beeps and automatically
bypasses the open sensor (depending on system configuration).
