Exit Delay

Enter the exit delay time (0-250 seconds) for all Exit zone types in the area. The default is 60 seconds. When the Exit Delay time begins, activity from those zones and other non-24-hour zone types in the area is ignored until the delay expires.

The keypad displays a countdown of the remaining Exit Delay time and sounds the Exit Delay tone at 8-second intervals. During the last 10 seconds, the tone sounds at 3-second intervals.

If an Exit zone trips, restores, and trips again during the Exit Delay, the timer restarts. The timer can only restart once.
