Programming Notes
Note 1: Restarting Exit Time
If an exit time is counting down from an AWAY arm-
ing, the exit time may be automatically restarted
once to reduce false alarms.
The exit time will be restarted if a Perimeter (arm in
STAY mode and arm in NIGHT mode) Burglar zone
is violated anytime during the last ten seconds of
exit time.
If the exit time is not due to an Exit Arm or a Sched-
uled Arming, then the exit time will be restarted if
it expires and a Perimeter (Arm in STAY mode and
Arm in NIGHT mode) Burglar zone has not been
violated during the exit time (i.e.: nobody went
out the door).
Note 1A: Entry Delay Times
The Entry Delay Times (Entry Delay 1 and Entry De-
lay 2) of an area work together to provide a more
secure Entry Delay Time. For example, Entry Delay
1 may be programmed as 4 minutes and Entry De-
lay 2 may be programmed as 1 minute. If Entry De-
lay 1 (4 min.) is started and counts down to 2 min-
utes remaining when an armed Delay 2 zone is vio-
lated, then the Entry Delay Time is reduced to the
more secure Entry Delay 2 time (1 minute remain-
ing). However, if the Entry Delay Time counts down
below the Entry Delay 2 Time (i.e. to 30 seconds
remaining), then no adjustment is made. Entry De-
lay Time is only decreased, it is never increased.
Note 2: Entry Time versus Pre-Alarm Warning
Time
Assuming Exit, Entry and Pre-Alarm Warning Times
are inactive, a violation of an armed Burglar zone
will cause the following actions depending on the
area’s arm level and the type of Burglar zone:
Note 3: Exit Arm
An Exit Arm is intended to automatically arm an area
ten minutes after the premises are vacated. An Exit
Arm will only be attempted when it is enabled for
an area and the area is disarmed and not in alarm.
The end user can disable the Exit Arm feature on a
day-to-day basis (see the appropriate User Guide).
If a Disable Exit Arming is performed, the Exit Arm
will be disabled until midnight.
When a Delay Burglar zone restores from a viola-
tion, the area’s Exit Arm timer is started at ten min-
utes. During this time, the Control Station may dis-
play a visual indication of the impending action and
the amount of time remaining. An audible warning
signal will occur at two minutes until arming and at
one minute until arming. When any Burglar zone is
violated, the area’s Exit Arm timer is halted. If a Delay
zone restores from a violation while the timer is run-
ning, the timer is restarted at ten minutes. If an
Instant or Follower Burglar zone restores from a vio-
lation, the timer is halted.
If the timer expires (i.e.: ten minutes of no Burglar
zone activity following a Delay zone restoration),
then the system attempts to arm the area in the
AWAY mode. If Force-Arming is enabled, then a
Force-Arm may occur if needed. If the arming is
successful, then Exit time is started and an Auto-Arm
event is logged to be reported. If the arming can-
not be completed, then nothing will happen.
Note 4: Force-Arming
If Force-Arming is enabled for an area, then an arm-
ing from a keyswitch zone, an Exit Arming or a
Scheduled Arming will be Force-Armed if necessary.
Note 5: LED Control Stations
The Secondary Area setting is ignored for LED Con-
trol Stations since they cannot provide area infor-
