ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS

General Information Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay. When you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to leave through the entry/exit door without setting off an alarm. Entry delay gives you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the entry/exit door. The system must be disarmed, however, before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad will beep slowly during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the system.

There are two entry delays (as programmed). The first is generally used for your primary entrance and the second can be used for a secondary entrance, where a longer delay may be required to walk to the keypad to disarm the system.

You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using either INSTANT or MAXIMUM arming modes. These modes can provide greater security while you are sleeping or while you are away for extended periods of time.

See your installer for your programmed delay times and record them here:

Remember, there will be no entry delay when arming INSTANT or MAXIMUM.
