Programming Areas: Set Exit and Entry Delay Outputs

The Exit Delay and Entry Delay Outputs are activated whenever the area starts the exit or entry delay cycle.

  • Set the Exit Delay Output to KP1 Beeper
  • Set the Exit Delay Pulse On Time to 1
  • Set the Exit Delay Pulse Off Time to 9
  • Set the Entry Delay Output to KP1 Beeper

Using an audible output like the keypad beeper provides a distinctive warning to users to let them know the area has begun arming and they need to get out, or that the entry delay period has been triggered and they need to disarm the area before it generates an alarm.

To avoid the alarm triggering immediately once a zone is disturbed, it is possible to have some zones set with an Entry Delay. An entry point, like the front foyer, will be programmed with an Entry Delay time. When an entry point is opened, the keypad will emit a continuous audible tone until you disarm the system. Your Protege WX System will not generate an alarm until this timer lapses.
