Exit Alarms

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.

Exit Alarm Active

Ask your

installer if a common zone was assigned.

ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS

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 "CANCEL ALARM" or "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 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 alarm monitoring company. 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.

COMMON ZONE OPERATION

Your system may have been set up to use a common zone, which is an area shared by users of both partitions, such as a foyer or lobby. If so, please note the following:

•The common zone will sound and report alarms only when both partitions are armed. If only one partition is armed, the system ignores faults on the common zone.

•Either partition may arm its system if the common zone is faulted, but once armed, the other partition will not be able to arm unless the common zone is first bypassed or the fault is corrected.

•If either partition is armed and the other is in chime mode, the common zone will not chime. The common zone will chime if both partitions are disarmed and either is in chime mode.

•Faults on the common zone are displayed on keypads in both partitions.

•Either partition can clear and restore the common zone after an alarm.
