Entry/Exit Delays 
Entry Delay 
Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the 
designated entrance door. There are two entry delays (if programmed). The first is for 
your primary entrance and the second can be used for a secondary entrance, where a 
longer delay is required to walk to the keypad to disarm the system. 
 
You must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will 
occur. The keypad beeps during the entry delay period,...

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 faulted...

single-button arming. Note that while it is not necessary to use a security code for 
arming (by using the Quick Arm method described previously), a security code must 
always be used when manually disarming the system.

Keyswitch 
 
Using the Keyswitch 
Your system may be equipped with a keyswitch for use when arming and disarming. 
Red and green lights on the keyswitch plate indicate the status of your system as 
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). 
Red Light:  Lights or flashes when system is armed in AWAY or STAY mode.
