IMPORTANT!  
 • When entering codes and commands, sequential key de pressions must be made 
within 4-5 seconds of one another. If 4-5 seconds elapse without a key depression, the 
entry will be aborted and must be repeated from its  beginning. Be sure to observe 
this precaution when performing any of the procedur es in this manual. 
 If you make a mistake while entering a security cod e, stop, press the [] key, and 
then start over. If you stop in the middle while entering a code, an d then 
immediately start the entry over, an erroneous code  might be entered.  
Wireless Key Fobs  
Your system may also include one or more wireless k ey fobs, which can perform 
various functions as programmed by your installer. 
IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTICE 
Your key fob is similar to your keys or access card . If lost or stolen, another 
person can compromise your security system. Immedia tely notify your 
Dealer/Installer of a lost or stolen key fob. The Dealer/Installer will then remove 
the key fob programming from the security system.

Entry/Exit Delays

Entry/Exit Delays 
  
 
 
Your system has preset time delays, known as exit d
elay and entry delay.  
 
Exit Delay
Exit Delay Exit Delay
Exit Delay 
Exit delay
 gives you time to leave through the designated exi t 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 m essage “You May Exit Now.” 
When “You may exit now” disappears, the system is f ully armed. If programmed, a 
slow beeping will sound during the exit delay perio d until the last 10 seconds, which 
then changes to fast beeping (alerting you to the e nd of exit delay). If you cannot 
leave by this time, you should stop, disarm the sys tem, and start over to avoid a false 
alarm. 
 
Exit Delay Restart/Reset.   
If you wish to open the entry/exit door to let some one in 
after arming STAY, you can re-start the  exit delay at any time –  simply press the 
[  ] key , then let that person in (the perimeter zones rema in armed). The system 
automatically re-arms the entry/exit door when exit  delay expires, which avoids 
having to disarm the system and then re-arm it agai n.  
 
In addition, when the system is armed AWAY, reopeni ng and closing the entry/exit 
door before exit delay time expires (e.g., reenteri ng to get a forgotten item) will reset 
the exit delay time once.  
 
Entry Delay
Entry Delay Entry Delay
Entry Delay 
Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system whe
n you re-enter through the 
designated entrance door. There are two entry delay s (if programmed). The first is for 
your primary entrance and the second can be used fo r a secondary entrance, where a 
longer delay is required to walk to the keypad to d isarm the system. 
 
You must disarm the system before the entry delay p eriod ends, or an alarm will 
occur. The keypad beeps during the entry delay peri od, reminding you to disarm the 
system. The beeps stop when a code is entered, but  will restart after about 15 seconds 
if an invalid code is entered. 
 
You can also arm the system with no entry delay at  all by using the INSTANT or 
MAXIMUM arming mode. This mode provides greater sec urity while on the 
premises or while away for extended periods of time .  
 
See your installer for your delay times.

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 remai ns 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, alon g with a zone number 
indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to  the Central Monitoring Station.   
 
To clear the exit error condition, the open zone must be made intact; to clear the 
display, enter your code plus OFF. 
 
If you do not disarm the system before the entry de lay ends and the faulted zone 
remains open, the alarm sound continues and an exi t alarm message is sent to the 
Central Monitoring Station (after the installer-pro grammed dial delay expires). The 
message EXIT ALARM or EA is displayed on the ke ypad, along with a zone 
number indicating the faulted zone. To stop the ala rm, the system must be disarmed 
(your code plus OFF); to clear the display, enter y our code plus OFF a second time. 
 
An “exit alarm” also results if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two 
minutes after the end of the exit delay. 
 
Your system may have been programmed for this featu re to minimize false alarms sent to the Central Monitoring Station. Ask your installer if Exit Alarm is active in your system. If so, check this box .    
           
    
VISTA-10PSIA:  The Exit Error condition works the same as describ ed above, except that in 
addition to the “EXIT ALARM” message, a “zone alarm”  message is also sent to the Central 
Monitoring Station. In addition, if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two 
minutes after the end of the exit delay, a “Recent  Closing” condition occurs instead of the “exit 
alarm.” Refer to the next paragraph for details.  “Recent Closing” Condition (VISTA-10PSIA only) 
A Recent Closing condition is similar to the Exit E rror condition described above, but occurs if 
an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two minutes after the initial exit delay 
expires. If you disarm the system within the two mi nutes, the alarm sound stops and the 
message ALARM CANCELED  or CA is displayed on th e keypad, along with a zone number 
indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station.  If you do not disarm the system within two minutes  and the faulted zone remains open, the 
alarm sound continues and a “recent closing” and a “zone alarm” message are sent to the 
Central Monitoring Station (after the installer-programmed dial delay expires). The alarm 
message along with a faulted zone number  is display ed on the keypad. To stop the alarm, the 
system must be disarmed (your code plus OFF); to clear the display, enter your code plus OFF 
a second time.

Red and green lights on the keyswitch plate indicat e the status of your system as 
follows:  
Green Light:   Lights when the system is  disarmed and ready to be armed (no

indicates the system is not ready (one or more zone s are open). 
Red Light:   Lights or flashes when system is armed in AWAY or  STAY mode.

 Lit Steady  =  system armed AWAY or 
      system armed STAY and exit delay has expired  
  Flashing  =  system armed STAY and exit delay timer a ctive  
  Rapid flashing = an alarm has occurred (memory of  alarm).

Use this key when you want to arm your system with one o

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 wind ow is closed after arming, it 
becomes protected and will cause an alarm if opened  again while the system is armed. 
  
When bypassing zones:      The system must be disarmed before you can bypass  zones. 
    Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause  an alarm if violated. 
    The system will not allow fire zones to be bypasse d. 
    Zones are automatically unbypassed when the system  is disarmed.
