Entry and Exit Delays
NOTE: Entry and exit delay times are programmed by your installer. There is room to jot
them down in
Your System Information, near the end of this guide.
Entry Delay
Entry delay allows time to disarm the system when entering the premises. If the system is not
disarmed before the entry delay period ends, an alarm occurs. If programmed, the Gateway
beeps during the entry delay period as a reminder to disarm the system.
Two different entry delay periods can be programmed. The first is for the primary entrance,
typically, the front door. The second can be used for a secondary entrance, where more time
might be needed to walk to the Gateway to disarm the system.
Exit Delay
Exit delay begins immediately after the system is armed, providing time to leave through the
designated exit door without causing an alarm. In most situations, the MyHome Gateway App
screen displays a countdown of the remaining time. The exit door must be closed before the
end of the exit delay.
Typically, the system beeps slowly when counting down to Arm Away and the beeping
speeds up during the last 10 seconds of the delay period. The exit beeps cannot be silenced
unless
Silent Exit is selected.
Restart Exit Delay
The Restart Timer option appears only if the option has been programmed by the installer.
Exit delay can be restarted once.
Exit Alarm
This option helps minimize false alarms sent to the monitoring company. Exit Alarm is always
enabled.
Exit delay begins whenever the system is armed.
• If an exterior door or protected interior zone is faulted during the exit delay (and remains
faulted when the exit delay ends), an exit alarm occurs and an
entry delay countdown
begins.
• If the system is disarmed before the entry delay ends, the alarm sound stops and the
message
Alarm Exit Error and any faulted zones appear.
• No message is sent to the monitoring company. Any open zones must be secured
before the exit alarm condition can be cleared.
To clear the display, press Disarm and enter a security code.
• If the system is not disarmed 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, along with a “Recent Close” message (the Recent Close
option is always enabled).
• The message Alarm Exit Error appears. Faulted zones are also displayed. The alarm
continues to sound until the system is disarmed or timeout occurs.
To stop the alarm, disarm the system. The message Not Ready to Arm-Fault is displayed and
faulted zones continue to be displayed.
To clear the display, press Disarm and re-enter the security code.
An exit alarm (“Alarm – Entry Exit”) also occurs if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted
within two minutes after the end of the exit delay.
