Defer Arming an Area
Defer arming is an option that must be enabled by your installer.
Defer arming allows you to delay the normal automatic arming of an area for a specified time period.
Depending on your system configuration, a fixed defer time may be configured that will always be applied when
arming is deferred, or the keypad may prompt you to enter your desired defer time on each occasion.
If this feature is enabled you will have the option to interrupt the arming process at the keypad and enter the
number of hours you would like to defer the area arming for.
The minimum time that arming can be deferred from the keypad is 1 hour and the maximum is 9 hours. Arming
can only be deferred in whole hours.
