Arming and Disarming Your System: Quick Exit

Your installer will tell you if the Quick Exit feature has been enabled on your system. The Quick Exit feature will allow you to exit the premises while the system is armed, without having to disarm and then re-arm the system.

To use the Quick Exit feature:

1.While the system is armed, press .

2.The system will start a two-minute countdown, during which you may leave the pre- mises through the entry/exit door.

NOTE: During this time, you may only open and close the entry/exit door once. Once the door is closed the system will end the two-minute Quick Exit period. If the door is opened again, or is not closed before the two-minutes are up, or if another entry/exit door is opened, the entry delay will begin.

If your installer has programmed the Exit function button, press and hold the button for two seconds to activate the Quick Exit feature.

1.If you are outside, enter the premises through a designated entry/exit door. If you are inside, go to step 2.

NOTE: Entering by any other door will immediately cause an alarm.

The keypad beeps to indicate that you must disarm the system. LCD5500Z keypads dis- play “Entry Active Enter Your Code”. Your system should have a minimum 30 second entry delay for false alarm reduction purposes. Please consult your installer for the pro- grammed entry delay time on your system partition.

2.Go to the keypad and enter your [access code]. The correct access code must be entered before the entry delay period expires. If a valid access code is not entered during this time, the system will sound an alarm.

NOTE: If you entered the access code incorrectly, the keypad sounder buzzes steadily for two seconds. Re-enter your access code correctly.

As soon as the correct code is entered, the Armed light turns OFF and the keypad stops beeping.

If no alarms occurred while the system was armed and there are no trouble conditions present, LCD5500Z keypads will display “System Disarmed No Alarm Memory” for a few seconds, and then “Enter Code to Arm System”. If the system is in alarm and is silenced by entering the access code, the LCD display may prompt “Communications Cancelled”. This will notify the user that the alarm has not been sent to the central monitoring station.

3.If an alarm occurred while the system was armed:

•PC55XXZ and LCD5501Z keypads will flash the Memory indicator

•LCD5500Z keypads will display “View Memory <> “Zone of Alarm”. See “View- ing Alarms in Memory” on page 13.

CAUTION: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you were away, it is possible that an intruder is still on the premises. Go to a nearby safe location, and call your central station or the local authorities to investigate. The alarm memory is cleared each time the panel is armed, so any alarms show- ing are alarms that occurred only during the last armed period.
