First Alert FA162C user manual ENTRY/EXIT Delays

General Information

Exit Delay Restart Active:

ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS

Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay. Whenever you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after entering any arming command, and applies to all modes of arming protection. Slow “beeps” will sound throughout the exit delay period, if programmed.

Restarting Exit Delay While Armed: Your system may have been programmed to allow you to restart the exit delay after the system has been armed in STAY mode. This is useful if you wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after arming the system and avoids having to disarm the system and then re-arm it again. If programmed, you can restart the exit delay by pressing the [✱] key. Ask your installer if this feature is active for your system.

Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated entrance door. But 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. There are two entry delays (if programmed). The first is for your primary entrance and the second may be used for a secondary entrance, where a longer delay is 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 provide greater security while on the premises or while away for extended periods of time.

See your installer for your delay times.
