– 14 –Entry/Exit DelaysGeneral InformationYour system has installer-programmed time delays, known as exit delay andentry delay. Whenever you arm your system, exit delay gives you time toleave through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm. Exitdelay begins immediately after entering any arming command, and applies toall modes of arming protection. If programmed, a slow beeping will soundthroughout the exit delay period.Entry Delay gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter throughthe designated entrance door. But the system must be disarmed before theentry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad will beep duringthe entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the system. You can alsoarm the system with no entry delay at all by using either INSTANT orMAXIMUM arming modes. These modes provide greater security while onthe premises or while away for extended periods of time. See your installerfor your delay times.As a requirement of SIA-CP-01, Entry Delay is defaulted to a delay of 30seconds and Exit Delay is defaulted to a delay of 60 seconds.As a requirement of SIA-CP-01, an Exit Delay Reset is designed to allow auser to re-enter the premises to retrieve a forgotten item without triggeringan alarm. This feature may only be activated once after arming.If enabled, when the panel is armed, the normal exit delay begins. After theuser exits, closes the door and then re-enters the premises, the exit delaytime is reset to the programmed value.As a requirement of SIA-CP-01, there is a communicator delay of 30 secondsin this control panel. This delay will prevent a report to the central station ifthe control panel is disarmed within 30 seconds after an intrusion alarm istriggered. This delay can be removed, or it can be increased up to 45 secondsat the option of the user by consulting with the Installer. Note that fire-typealarms are normally reported without delay.
