Disarming the System and Understanding What Happens During an Alarm
When entering armed premises, an Entry Delay period starts:
During the Entry Delay, the header changes to announce the number of seconds before
the alarm goes off.
The Security app displays a keypad.
The Touchscreen beeps audibly once every second, until the last 10 seconds when it
beeps twice a second.
If a valid keypad code is not entered by the end of the Entry Delay period, an alarm sounds.
From the time an alarm sounds (or starts silently), for most reasons, you have 30 seconds
(default) to enter a valid keypad code to disarm the system and prevent an alarm being sent
to the central-monitoring station. This is called the Alarm Transmission delay or the Abort
Window.
The Alarm Transmission Delay is a required period that prevents a report to the central
station if an alarm was triggered accidentally.
Note:
Emergency alarms (see page 47) and smoke alarms are reported without an
Alarm Transmission delay or an Entry Delay. Consult Customer Care to understand
the number of seconds configured for the Alarm Transmission Delay on your
system.
