4.4 DEFINING CONTROL PANEL PARAMETERS 
4.4.1 Preliminary Guidance 
This mode allows you to customize the control panel and 
adapt its characteristics and behavior to the requirements 
of the particular user. An illustrated process is shown in 
figure 4.4. In this illustration, each selected option is 
displayed with a dark box at the right side. To review the 
options, repeatedly press <Next> or <Back> button, until 
the desired option is displayed, then press <View/Select> 
button. 
4.4.2 Entry Delays 1&2 (fig. 4.4, location 01, 02) 
Two different entry delays allow the user to enter the 
protected site (while the system is in the armed state) via 2 
specific doors and routes without causing an alarm. 
Following entry, the user must disarm the control panel 
before the entry delay expires. Slow-rate warning beeps 
start sounding once the door is opened, until the last 10 
seconds of the delay, during which the beeping rate 
increases. Locations No. 1 (entry delay 1) and 2 (entry 
delay 2) allow you to program the length of these delays. 
Available options for each delay are: 00s, 15s, 30s, 45s, 
60s , 3m and 4m. 
In UL installations, these delays must be 45 s max. 
4.4.3 Exit Delay (fig. 4.4 location 03)  
An exit delay allows the user to arm the system and leave the 
protected site via specific routes and doors without causing an 
alarm. Slow-rate warning beeps start sounding once the 
arming command has been given, until the last 10 seconds of 
the delay, during which the beeping rate increases. Location 
No. 3 allows programming of the exit delay length. Available 
options are: 30s, 60s, 90s, 120s, 3m, 4m. 
In UL installations, set exit delay to 30 or 60 seconds. 
4.4.4 Bell Time (fig. 4.4, location 04) 
Here you select the length of time the bell (or siren) is 
allowed to function upon alarm. The bell time starts upon 
activation of the siren. Once the bell time expires, the siren 
is automatically shut down. 
Available options: 1, 3, 4, 8, 10, 15 and 20 minutes. 
In UL installations, set bell time to 4 minutes minimum, 
in canadian installations, set bell time to 8 minutes. 
4.4.5 Abort Time (fig. 4.4 location 05) 
Do not use in UL installations. 
Here you select the length of time allowed by the system to 
abort an alarm (not applicable to alarms from FIRE, 24H 
SILENT, EMERGENCY, GAS and FLOOD zones). The 
Abbra is programmed to provide an “abort interval” that 
starts upon detection of an event. During this interval, the 
buzzer sounds a warning but the siren remains inactive and 
the alarm is not reported. If the user disarms the system 
within the allowed abort interval, the alarm is aborted. 
Available options: 00s, 15s, 30s, 45s, 60s, 2m, 3m, 4m. 
4.4.6 Alarm Cancel (fig. 4.4, location 06) 
Here you determine the ”cancel alarm” period that starts 
upon reporting an alarm to the central station. If the user 
disarms the system within that time period, a “cancel 
alarm” message is sent to the central station. 
The options are: 1, 5, 15, 60 minutes, 4 hours and also 
cancel inactive.
