8. Entry/Exit Timers and System Tones
This chapter explains how to program the time of the Entry/Exit delays and the tones sounded by the built-in siren and
wireless siren during Exit/Entry Delays, arming, disarming, home automation operation and when a trouble condition
is present.
8.1. Entry/Exit Delay
The Entry/Exit delay timers determine the amount of time the user has to arm or disarm the system before an alarm is
activated.
You can program separate Entry and Exit delays for each arming method.
To program Exit delay timers:
1. From the Programming menu, select Entry/Exit, Exit Delays [921].
2. Select the Exit delay you want to program: Full [#1], Part [#2] or Perimeter [#3] (in partitioned systems,
Partition 1 [#2] or Partition 2 [#3]).
3. Enter a delay time (000-255 seconds), then press .
To program Entry Delay timers:
1. From the Programming menu, select Entry/Exit, Entry Delays [922].
2. Select the Entry Delay you want to program: Full [#1], Part [#2] or Perimeter [#3] (in partitioned systems,
Partition 1 [#2] or Partition 2 [#3]).
3. Enter a delay time (000-255 seconds), then press .
8.2. Arm on Exit
The Arm on Exit feature cancels the unnecessary remainder of the Exit delay that continues to count down after the user has
vacated the premises. This feature automatically arms the system when an Entry/Exit zone is closed during the Exit delay.
To program the Arm on Exit option:
1. From the Programming menu, select Entry/Exit, Arm On Exit [923].
2. Select Enabled or Disabled.
8.3. Supplementary Entry Delay
The Supplementary Entry Delay is a pre-alarm feature that is employed in the event that the system is not disarmed
during the entry delay. When the entry delay expires, the Control System’s built-in siren is sounded during an
additional entry delay period. At the end of the supplementary entry delay, the system generates a full alarm
condition; the wireless siren is sounded and an alarm event is reported to the central station.
To program the Supplementary Entry Delay setting:
1. From the Programming menu, select Entry/Exit, Supp. Ent. Delay [924].
2. Select Enabled or Disabled.
8.4. Entry Deviation
Entry Deviation is a pre-alarm feature employed in the event that a sensor defined with the Normal zone type is
opened during the entry delay. In this case, the Control System’s built-in siren is sounded until the end of the entry
delay period. Failure to disarm by the end of the entry delay causes the system to generate an alarm.
To program the Entry Deviation setting:
1. From the Programming menu, select Entry/Exit, Ent. Deviation [925].
2. Select Enabled or Disabled.
8.5. Arming Tones
Arming tones are the tones sounded by the Control System’s built-in siren and/or the wireless siren when arming and
disarming the system. Each set of tones can be enabled or disabled according to the requirements of the installation.
