SECURING THE PREMISES
Entry/Exit Delays
Exit Delay
Exit delay begins immediately after arming the system, and gives you time to leave through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm. A slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period, if programmed. During the last 10 seconds of the exit delay fast beeps will sound as a warning that the delay time is nearing its end. The exit beeps cannot be silenced.
Exit Alarms | Exit Alarm Active |
To minimize false alarms sent to the alarm monitoring company, your system may have been programmed for this feature. Ask your installer if Exit Alarm is active for your system.
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 "CA" is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the alarm monitoring company. To clear the exit alarm condition, the open zone
must be made
OFF
key.
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 alarm monitoring company. The message "EA" is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. The alarm will continue to sound until the system is disarmed or timeout ocurs. To stop
the alarm, the system must be disarmed by entering your security code and pressing the OFF
key; and
the message "CA" is displayed on the keypad, indicating that the alarm has been cancelled (if this
feature is enabled by the installer). To clear the display, enter your security code and press the
OFF
key 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.
