5.15 Entry/Exit Delay Options
Upon arming, the panel will begin the exit delay. If Audible Exit Delay is enabled the keypad will beep
every second until the exit delay expires. The keypad will beep rapidly for the last 10 seconds of exit
delay to warn the user the system is about to arm.
For commercial applications Bell Squawk on Exit Delay may be enabled. The panel will squawk the
alarm output once every second when the exit delay is initiated and 3 times a second for the last 10
seconds until the exit delay expires.
Upon entry, if a Delay type zone is violated, the panel will begin entry delay. The keypad will emit a
steady tone. The keypad will pulse the keypad sounder during the last 10 seconds to warn the user the
system is about to go into alarm. If there was an alarm during the armed period, the keypad sounder will
pulse for the entire entry delay to warn the user of the previous alarm.
For commercial applications Bell Squawk on Entry Delay may be enabled. The panel will squawk the
alarm output once every second until the entry delay expires or the system is disarmed. This feature must
not be used with 2 partitions.
Since two Delay zones are programmable, and therefore two different Entry Delays, when the panel is
armed it will use the Entry Delay for the first Delay zone violated.
If the Bell Squawk During Auto Arm option is enabled, the bell will squawk while the system is auto-
arming in order to notify anyone on the premises that the system is being armed.
If Exit Delay Termination is enabled the panel will monitor the Delay zones during exit delay. If a Delay
type zone is violated then secured during the exit delay, the exit delay will be terminated and the panel
will be armed immediately.
To prevent false alarms, use the built-in feature Audible Exit Fault. If a delay type zone is violated within
4 seconds after the exit delay has expired, the panel will sound the entry delay warning through the
keypad and siren alerting the customer that an improper exit was made. If the panel is disarmed within
the entry delay no signal is sent. If not, the panel will continue to sound the alarm and send a signal to
central station. This feature can be disabled in Section [013] Option [6].

5.16 Event Buffer
The panel will store the last 128 events that have occurred on the system. Each event will contain the
time, date, partition and the event itself along with the zone number, user code number or any other
information pertaining to the event.
If the Event Buffer Follows Swinger Shutdown feature is enabled the event buffer will not store events
after the swinger shutdown level has been reached. This will prevent the panel from overwriting the entire
buffer if a problem exists.
(See Section 5.17 “Swinger Shutdown”.)
The event buffer can be viewed three different ways. It can be viewed through an LCD keypad, printed
on-site using the PC5400 printer module
(See Section 5.29 “On-Site Printer”) or it can be uploaded
through the DLS software.
5.16.1 Viewing the Event Buffer through the LCD Keypad
The following is the procedure for viewing the event buffer through the LCD keypad:
Step 1 - Enter [✱] [6] [Master Code] Step 2 - Select ‘View Event Buffer’
The keypad will display the Event Number, Partition, Time and Date of the event in question. Use the [✱]
key to toggle between this information and the event itself. Use the arrow keys (<>) to scroll through the
events in the buffer.
When you have finished viewing the event buffer press the [#] key to exit.

5.17 Swinger Shutdown
The swinger shutdown feature is designed to prevent a runaway communicator from tying up the central
station. Different limits can be programmed for Zone Alarms, Zone Tampers and Maintenance signals.
After the panel has communicated the programmed number of transmissions for an event it will no longer
report that event until the swinger shutdown is reset.
For example, the swinger shutdown limit for Zone Alarms is set to [003]. The panel will not send more than
3 alarm signals for each zone with a swinger attribute until the swinger shutdown is reset.
The Bell output will not be activated for alarms on zones that have exceeded the limit of alarms set in the
Swinger Shutdown counter.
