After arming your system, you need time to exit the building so you won’t set off an alarm. Likewise, upon returning to
your home or business, you’ll need enough time to open the door and get to a touchpad to disarm the system.
The Exit Delay is a period of time long enough to let you leave through a designated delay door after arming the
system.
The Entry Delay is a period of time long enough to let you unlock a designated delay door and get to a touchpad
to disarm the system.
Extended Delay
In some situations, additional time is needed to arm or disarm the system from, for example, a protected outside gate or
door. In these instances, the installer can program an extended delay, giving as much as 16 minutes to exit or disarm the
system before setting off an alarm.
Exit Extension
Note:
In UL Listed systems, this feature is disabled.
Your system may be set up so that the delay time is restarted if you re-open the delay door during the initial delay time.
This is useful if, after arming the system, you walk out the door, then remember something you forgot inside. You can
re-enter and exit through the delay door without disarming and re-arming the system.
Note:
The Exit Extension will work on the first re-entry only.
If your system is not using this feature, you must disarm the system when you re-enter the armed premises to avoid
setting off an alarm.
No Delay - For Instant Alarm
You can choose to turn off the Entry and Exit Delays, causing the delay doors to arm immediately. Anyone entering the
house through the delay door when the system is set to No Delay would immediately cause an alarm.
No Delay is normally used:
When you’re staying at home, after you’ve armed the system.
When you’re arming and disarming your house from the outside. (You must have a wireless touchpad in order to
do this.)
Arming to Level 2 or 3 with No Delay:
1.
Close all perimeter doors and windows.
2.
Exit the premises if arming to Level 3—AWAY.
3.
Enter: 2 + Code or 3 + Code. The system sounds two or three short beeps.
4.
Immediately after hearing the beeps, press 4 for No Delay. Touchpads display, “Armed to STAY No Delay” or
“ARMED TO AWAY NO DELAY,” for example.
Changing the arming level will restore delay doors to their normal Exit and Entry Delay times.
