Entry/Exit Delays

Exit Delay

Exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated exit door(s) without setting off an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after arming your system in any arming mode and Alpha Display keypads display the message “You May Exit Now.” When “You may exit now” disappears, the system is fully armed. If programmed, a slow beeping will sound during the exit delay period until the last 10 seconds, which then changes to fast beeping (alerting you to the end of exit delay). If you cannot leave by this time, you should stop, disarm the system, and start over to avoid a false alarm.

Exit Delay Restart. If you wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after arming STAY, you can re-start the exit delay at any time – simply press the [✱] key, then let that person in. The system automatically re-arms when exit delay expires, which avoids having to disarm the system and then re-arm it again. In addition, 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 reset the exit delay time once.

Entry Delay

Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated entrance door. There are two entry delays (if programmed). The first is for your primary entrance and the second can be used for a secondary entrance, where a longer delay is required to walk to the keypad to disarm the system.

You must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad beeps during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the system. The beeps stop when a code is entered, but will restart after about 15 seconds if an invalid code is entered.

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