ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS (cont’d)
Exit Alarms
To minimize false
alarms sent to the
alarm monitoring
company, your system
may have been pro-
grammed for this fea-
ture. Ask your installer
if "Exit Alarm" is active
for your system.
Exit Alarm Active
Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone
is faulted when the exit delay ends (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds an alarm
and starts the entry delay timer. If you disarm the system before the entry delay ends, the
alarm sound stops and the message "CANCELLED ALARM" or "CA" is displayed on the
keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the
alarm monitoring company.
To clear the exit alarm condition, the open zone must be made intact to clear the display,
enter your code plus OFF.
If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends, and an entry/exit door or
interior zone is still open, the alarm sound continues and an "exit alarm" message is sent to
the alarm monitoring company. The message ""EXIT ALARM" or "EA" is displayed on the
keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. To stop the alarm, the
system must be disarmed (your code plus OFF) to clear the display, enter your code plus
OFF a second time.
An “exit alarm” also results if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two
minutes after the end of the exit delay.
