General Concepts of the Security System
Arming and Exiting a Premises
The Exit Delay period is the amount of time that starts when the security system is armed.
The customer has this period of time to exit through an Entry/Exit sensor doorway. If the
customer does not exit during this period, the system cannot be armed in Arm Away state.
The system instead arms in Arm Stay state. The system audibly beeps once per second
announcing that the system is in the Exit Delay period. During the last 10 seconds of the Exit
Delay state, the system beeps twice per second. If an entry/exit zone is faulted, restored,
and then faulted again prior to the end of the exit delay, then the Exit Delay is restarted. This
only occurs once. If an Entry/Exit door is left open at the end of Exit Delay, the Entry Delay
immediately starts and, if the system is not disarmed, an alarm sounds. If no Entry/Exit Zone
opens and closes during the Exit Delay, the Arming Mode reverts to Armed Stay.
When the system arms, the Touchscreen beeps three times. If the system is armed from the
key fob, the peripheral’s LED flashes red once and the holds red for two seconds. Using the
key fob, the system can be armed in Arm Away mode and Arm Stay mode. There is still an
Exit Delay period that works the same way as when the system is disarmed from the
Touchscreen.
If an alarm is tripped within two (2) minutes after the expiration of the Exit Delay period, a
Recent Closing transmission is sent to Central Monitoring along with the keypad code used
to arm the system.
Note:
A Recent Closing transmission is not for alarms tripped by a Smoke Detector.
Disarming and Entering a Premises
The Entry Delay period is the amount of time from an Entry/Exit sensor being faulted until an
alarm sounds. The customer has until the end of the Entry Delay period to enter a valid key
pad code. There is no Entry Delay period for perimeter-type sensors, such as window
sensors or non-entry door sensors. The Touchscreen beeps once per second announcing
that the system is in the Entry Delay period. During the last 10 seconds of the Entry Delay
state, the system beeps twice per second. When the system is disarmed from the
Touchscreen
, it beeps once. If it is disarmed from a key pad, the peripheral’s LED flashes
green once and then stays green for two seconds.
