Timers Description Options
Entry Time 1
Entry Time 2
Programmes the entry time for each area. If entry time is started
at a door programmed in multiple areas, the longest time will
apply. Entry time 1 will apply to any inputs programmed as “Entry
Delay 1” type, and Entry Time 2 will apply to any inputs
programmed as “Entry Delay 2” type. Ensure that timer is no
longer than 45 seconds in order to comply with EN50131-1.

Bell Delay Delay after burglary alarm before bell activation.
NOT valid within 3 minutes of final arm, or after entry time started.
If ‘Silent 1st Alarm’ selected in alarm responses, delay commences
at confirmed alarm.
0-20 minutes
Strobe Time The duration of time the strobe output remains live after the bell
time ends, ‘99’ means endless.
0-99 minutes
Number Re
arms
Number of times system re-arms after bell time ends. Re-arm
number applies to each area, and does not affect emergency
alarms. ‘9’ = ‘always re-arm’.
0 – 9
AC Fail Delay Time delay before mains failure or technical alarm signalled. ‘250’
= never alarms. System change-over to battery supply and
associated ‘alert’ indication is always immediate. Mains Fail
message on keypad not permitted until valid code entry.
0-250
minutes
Speaker
Time
Time speaker and keypad buzzers remain live after bell time ends,
‘99’ = ‘endless’.
0-99 minutes
Final Door
Delay
Time between final door input closing and system arming.
When a code is entered to arm the system the exit time will start
but the system will not arm until it sees the final exit door open
and close and duration of the final door delay.
0-255
seconds
Double
Knock
Length of filter period applied to inputs with ‘Double Knock’ input
attribute.
0 – 75
seconds
Delay Send
Entry
Delays ‘Burglary’ alarm signalling if an alarm is generated by
deviation from the entry route. Delay Send Entry must be
programmed for a minimum of 30 seconds to comply with
EN50131-1.
0-255
seconds
Line Fault
Delay
Duration of Telecom (GSM) Line Fault before ‘Line Fault’ alarm
triggered, ‘250’ endless.
0-250
seconds
Arm Fail
Time
If a system has not been armed within the entry delay time, for
example door left open the Arm Fail Time will take over and at the
expiry of this time an alarm will be created. This time should be
longer than the Entry Delay time.
0-255
seconds
Guard Code
Delay
Minimum time an alarm must have been present before a ‘Guard’
code will be accepted to disarm.
0-10 minutes
Fire Bell
Time
Cut off time for fire alarm. ‘99’ = endless. 1 – 99
minutes
Arm Fail
Warning
The “Arm Fail Warning” will overwrite the “Arm Fail Time” feature if
the “Alarm When Arm Fail” in System Options has to be set up to
NO.
Example of how this feature works: Set Arm Fail Warning longer
time than the Entry Delay Time. For example if the Entry Delay
time is set to 30sec the Arm Fail Time could be set to 1minute. If
the system is not armed after 30sec then the Entry Delay Tones
will start and the system will be disarmed at the end of the Arm
Fail Warning time. An event Arm Fail Warning Activated will be
logged in the event log too.
