FAQs
A zone is programmed with an Exit/Entry Delay #1 time of 30 seconds, and another zone in the same system is programmed with an Exit/Entry Delay #2 time of 120 seconds. With the control panel armed away, I open an Entry Zone door followed immediately by opening the other Entry Zone door. With two different Exit/Entry Delays programmed, what is the actual Exit/Entry Delay duration?
When either Entry Zone door is opened, the system will begin the countdown programmed for that Entry Zone normally; if during this countdown the other Entry Zone door is opened, the system will immediately restart the countdown to reflect the full countdown programmed for this subsequent Entry Zone.
Please note the following two stipulations:
- This override/restart of the countdown will only occur once; no other programmed Entry Zone door openings will affect the countdown duration.
- The Exit/Entry Delay durations are not significant; The Entry Zone door opened first could have a longer or shorter Exit/Entry Delay duration than the subsequent Entry Zone door.
