seconds, which then changes to fast beeping.
• If programmed, the keypad displays a countdown of the number of seconds of exit delay
Common: Same as
Part. 1 remaining.
• When exit delay expires, all zones become protected and cause an alarm if opened.

zone (e.g.,, exit door) has been closed for five seconds. Ask your installer.
• • • • Press the [∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ ] key if armed in STAY mode to restart the exit delay timer.
Exit Delay
• This gives you time to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after arming STAY. The
Restart
system (If programmed), automatically rearms when exit delay expires, which avoids
having to disarm the system and then rearm it again.
• When the system is armed AWAY, reopening and closing the entry/exit door before exit
delay time expires (e.g., reentering to get a forgotten item) will restart the exit delay time.
• Gives you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated entrance
Entry Delay
door. You must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will
occur.
• See your installer for your delay times.

• If an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted when the exit delay ends (e.g., exit door left
Exit Alarms
open), the system sounds an alarm and starts the entry delay timer.
• Disarming the system before entry delay ends stops the alarm sound.
• 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.
• 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" and the faulted zone
number is displayed on the keypad.
• 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.
To clear an exit alarm:
• Make the open zone intact, then
• Enter your code plus [1] OFF to clear the display.
Your system may have been programmed for this feature to minimize false alarms sent to the
Central Monitoring Station. Ask your installer if "Exit Alarm" is active in your system. If so,
