Entry/Exit Delays 
 
Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay.  
 
Exit Delay 
Exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated exit door(s) without 
setting off an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after arming your system in any 
arming mode and Alpha Display keypads display the message “You May Exit Now.” 
When “You may exit now” disappears, the system is fully armed. If programmed, a 
slow beeping will sound during the exit delay period until the...

Exit Alarms 
Exit Error Conditions 
Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior 
zone is faulted before exit delay expires and remains faulted (e.g., exit door left open), 
the system sounds an alarm and starts the entry delay timer. If you disarm the 
system before the entry delay ends, the alarm sound stops and the message ALARM 
CANCELED  or CA is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number 
indicating the...

Single Button Arming 
The “A”, “B”, “C”, and/or “D” keys on your keypad may have been programmed for 
single-button arming. Note that while it will not be necessary to use a security code 
for arming, a security code must always be used to disarm the system.

 •  A function key has been assigned to a specific type of arming: STAY mode, 
Night-STAY mode, AWAY mode, or STEP-ARMING (see Step-Arming

follows: 
Green Light:  Lights when the system is disarmed and ready to be armed (no 
open zones). If the system is disarmed and the green light is off, it 
indicates the system is not ready (one or more zones are open).

clear alarm memories. 
 
IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT ENTER, but 
CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location. 
If you return after an alarm has occurred and the main sounder has shut itself off, the keypad will 
beep rapidly upon your entering, indicating that an alarm has occurred during your 
absence.

Bypassing Protection Zones 
 
Using the BYPASS Key 
Use this key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally 
unprotected.  
 
Vent Zones: Your system may have certain windows set as “vent” zones, which are 
automatically bypassed if left open when arming the system (you do not need to 
manually bypass them). However, if a vent zone window is closed after arming, it 
becomes protected and will cause an alarm if opened again while the system is armed. 
 
When bypassing...
