For the Arm Stay mode, the following Entry/Exit Delay rules apply:
When an entry/exit zone is opened, the Entry Delay period sounds an audible beep each second.
The system beeps twice per second in the last 10 seconds of the Entry Delay period. The keypad
code must be entered during this period to avoid sounding an alarm.
When the system is armed, the Exit Delay period starts, BUT there is no audible beep during the
Exit Delay period (as there is in Arm Away). The Exit Delay period is the time between the system
being armed and the alarms actually being activated. This gives the user time to leave through an
entry/exit security zone.
The Exit Delay period is twice as long as for the Arm Away mode, and there is no audible alert
during the countdown.
A numerical countdown timer indicates how much time remains in the Exit Delay period.
If an entry/exit zone is faulted, restored and then faulted again prior to the end of the exit delay
then the Exit Delay is restarted. This only occurs once.
After the Exit Delay, the Security Status header is relabeled Armed Stay and sounds 3 short beeps.
Arm Night Mode
The Arm Night mode, is used when everyone is going to bed.
This mode works the same as Arm Stay except that there is no Entry Delay period. If an entry/exit zone is
opened, an alarm sounds immediately.
Note:
There is still an Alarm Transmission Delay period (see page
).
Note:
There is still an Exit Delay period that works the same as in Arm Stay mode.
Understanding Your Protection Against Smash & Grab Attacks
Your security system communicates continuously (via broadband and cellular) with the monitoring
servers. There is always the possibility that an intruder will attempt to defeat your security system by
breaking in to the premises and destroying the TouchScreen. But this is the most futile method they
could use. Central monitoring contacts the authorities if the TouchScreen does not send an alarm or
disarm notification after an Entry Delay.
The system detects a Smash & Grab event when it receives an Entry Delay event from a TouchScreen but
does not receive an associated Alarm event or Disarm event within the configured window.
Mere connectivity loss during the Entry Delay period does not trigger a Smash & Grab as long as the
Disarm or Alarm event was received by the server. Finally, it does not matter whether the TouchScreen
has connectivity to the server only over the broadband or cellular channel.
