Entry/Exit Delays
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.
See your installer for your delay times.

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 within this delay time period, you should stop, disarm the system, and start over to
avoid a false alarm.
Exit Delay Restart
(if programmed): If you wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after
arming STAY, you can restart the
exit
time delay at any time –
simply press the

key
, then let that
person in (the perimeter zones remain armed). The system automatically rearms the entry/exit door
when the exit delay expires, thereby avoiding having to disarm the system and then rearm it again.
Additionally, when the system is armed AWAY, reopening and closing the entry/exit door
before
exit delay time expires (e.g., re-entering to get a forgotten item), will reset the exit delay time once.
