Entry/Exit Delays

General Information

Your system has installer-programmed 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. If programmed, a slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period.

Entry Delay gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter through the designated entrance door. But the system must be disarmed before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad will beep during the entry delay period, reminding you 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.

As a requirement of SIA-CP-01, Entry Delay is defaulted to a delay of 30 seconds and Exit Delay is defaulted to a delay of 60 seconds.

As a requirement of SIA-CP-01, an Exit Delay Reset is designed to allow a user to re-enter the premises to retrieve a forgotten item without triggering an alarm. This feature may only be activated once after arming.

If enabled, when the panel is armed, the normal exit delay begins. After the user exits, closes the door and then re-enters the premises, the exit delay time is reset to the programmed value.

As a requirement of SIA-CP-01, there is a communicator delay of 30 seconds in this control panel. This delay will prevent a report to the central station if the control panel is disarmed within 30 seconds after an intrusion alarm is triggered. This delay can be removed, or it can be increased up to 45 seconds at the option of the user by consulting with the Installer. Note that fire-type alarms are normally reported without delay.

These models also offer flexible configuration options, allowing installers to customize the system to fit specific security requirements.

All models in the VISTA series utilize Honeywell's proprietary technology that enhances system reliability and responsiveness. They feature dual-path communication for enhanced system resilience, allowing for simultaneous data transmission over different networks. This ensures that even if one communication path fails, the other remains operational.

With user-friendly programming and management features, these panels can be easily configured through a keypad or remotely via a computer. Advanced event reporting capabilities provide detailed logs and notifications, ensuring users stay informed about their system's status. The integration of unique zone types, such as perimeter, interior, and 24-hour panic zones, allows for tailored security strategies.

Moreover, VISTA panels support various peripherals, including motion detectors, door/window sensors, and glass break detectors, providing comprehensive coverage for properties. The ability to integrate with home automation systems further enhances their functionality, making them a key component in smart home technology setups.

In summary, Honeywell's VISTA250BPT, VISTA128BPT, and VISTA128BPTSIA offer a blend of scalability, reliability, and advanced technological features, making them suitable for a wide range of security applications. Whether for a large business or a medium-sized property, these control panels provide security professionals and homeowners with the tools they need to safeguard their assets effectively.
