Guidelines for Preventing Accidental Alarms
Following these guidelines will go a long way toward preventing accidental
alarms.
• Close doors and windows before you leave your house.
• When getting ready to leave the house, gather the things you want to take
with you so you can exit immediately after arming the system.
• Always enter and exit within the programmed delay times.
• Make sure you leave through a door that has a delay time set for it. If you arm
your system, then leave through a door without a delay time, an alarm will
immediately sound.
• When you return, immediately disarm your system.
• Be aware of the devices in your security system and learn how each one
operates.
• Listen to system beeps. Take note of any touchpad messages or lights that
indicate the current system status.
• If you have pets, ask your installer if you need pet lenses in your motion
detectors. Pets climb higher than you may guess, causing alarms when you
are away.
• Check the location of your smoke detectors. Smoke detectors near
bathrooms can be tripped by steam from a shower. Smoke detectors near the
kitchen can be tripped by cooking smoke.
Refer to the User Sheet in Appendix A to determine what the specific settings are
for your system.
Exit and Entry Delay Times
After arming your system, you need time to exit the building so you won’t set off
an alarm. Likewise, upon returning to your home or business, you’ll need enough
time to open the door and get to a touchpad to disarm the system.
• The Exit Delay is a period of time long enough to let you leave through a
designated delay door after arming the system.
