Exit delay
The exit delay is the amount of time the system gives you to exit the home before the system is armed. This is
programmed by the installer. After you arm the system you will hear beeps during the exit delay. See
Status
beeps on page 21.
Silent exit
The silent exit feature silences the status beeps that accompany the exit delay. See Status beeps on page 21.
Press Silent after you arm the system to silence status beeps. The panel will still beep at the beginning and end
of the exit delay.
Note: Enabling silent exit doubles the exit delay time.
Entry delay
The entry delay is the amount of time the system gives you to disarm the system after entering the home. This
is programmed by the installer. When you enter your home, you will hear beeps during the entry delay. See
Status beeps on page 21.
No entry delay
Use the no delay feature when you are staying at home, for instance when you are asleep, or when you’re away
from home and will carry a wireless touchpad that will allow you to disarm the system before opening a
protected door. Check with your installer to find out how this option is programmed.
1. Close all doors and windows.
2. Press the Stay button twice. If a code is required for arming, enter your code after the first press of the
Stay button, then press the button again.
3. The panel displays Stay - no delay and speaks Stay, no entry delay . The Stay light will blink and the
exit delay will begin.
Note: To avoid causing an alarm, you must disarm the system with a wireless touchpad before entering your home.
Quick exit
Use the quick exit feature when someone wants to briefly leave while the home is still armed (for instance to
get the newspaper). This feature needs to be enabled by your installer. When you press the
Disarm button, the
display shows Exit time is on . This allows a designated exit door to be open for up to two minutes without
triggering an alarm.
Note: The designated door may be opened and closed only once. If you close the designated door behind you when you exit,
you will have to disarm the system upon reentering. Leave the designated door open while using the quick exit feature.
Exit delay extension
If enabled by your installer, the exit delay extension feature will recognize when you arm the system, leave
your house and then quickly re-enter your house (such as you would if you forgot your car keys.) In such a case
Simon XT will restart your exit delay to give you the full exit delay again.
