Chapter 2 11 Using the control panel Exit/entry delay Your Simon XT provides a delay after entering or exiting your home before the system is alarmed. Table 5 provides details for the entry and exit delay features. Table 5. Entry and exit delay details Function Description Entry delay Some active sensors cause immediate alarms when tripped. Other sensors, if enrolled in a delayed response group, start an entry delay that lets you enter the premises and disarm the system. If the system has not been disarmed by the end of the entry delay, the alarm occurs. No delay If the system was armed with the No Delay feature activated, there will be no entry delay and the alarm will occur immediately. Exit delay When the user arms the system, an exit delay starts. During the delay the user can vacate the premises through a delayed response door without causing an alarm. Protest during arming The system may protest an arming level change if certain abnormal conditions exist. If a sensor that is active in the requested arming level is open, the system sounds protest beeps and automatically bypasses the open sensor (depending on system configuration). Exit delay The exit delay is the amount of time the system gives you to exit the home before the system is armed. This is programmed by the installer. After you arm the system you will hear beeps during the exit delay. See Status beeps on page 20. Silent exit The silent exit feature silences the status beeps that accompany the exit delay. See Status beeps on page 20. Press SILENT after you arm the system to silence status beeps. The panel will still beep at the beginning and end of the exit delay. Note: Enabling silent exit doubles the exit delay time. Entry delay The entry delay is the amount of time the system gives you to disarm the system after entering the home. This is programmed by the installer. When you enter your home, you will hear beeps during the entry delay. See Status beeps on page 20.
