System Overview (Cont'd) Entry/Exit Delays Your system has preset time delays, referred to as exit delay and entry delay. Whenever you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after entering any arming command, and applies to all modes of arming protection. If programmed, a slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period. Entry delay gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter through the designated entrance door. But the system must be disarmed before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad will beep during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the system. Ask your installer about the delay times programmed into your system. Alarms When an alarm occurs, the 6270 (and any other keypads) and external sounders will sound, and the zone(s) causing the alarm are displayed. If your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will also be sent. To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system. Memory of Alarm When an alarm condition occurs, the number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the problem are displayed, along with the type of alarm. These remain displayed until cleared by disarming the system. Fire Protection The optional fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always on and will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. 11
