APPENDIX D. Programmable Zone Types 
D1. Delay Zones 
A delay zone has exit and entry delays set by you in the 
course of programming the system. Warning beeps will 
sound throughout these delays, unless you choose to mute 
them. 
• Exit Delay  - The exit delay begins once the user arms 
the system. It allows him to leave via interior zones and a 
doorway before arming actually takes effect. When the 
exit delay starts, the buzzer beeps slowly and maintains a 
slow beeping rate until the last 10 seconds, during which 
it beeps rapidly. The Abbra has two types of delay zones, 
for which different delay times may be set. 
•  Entry Delay - The entry delay begins once the user 
enters the protected area via a specific doorway (his 
entry is sensed by a delay zone detector). To avoid an 
alarm, he must reach the keypad via interior zones 
(which become "follower zones" during the entry delay) 
and disarm the system before the delay expires. When 
the entry delay starts, the buzzer beeps slowly until the 
last 10 seconds, during which it beeps rapidly. 
D2. Emergency Zones 
You can provide incapacitated, sick or elderly people with a 
miniature single-button transmitter to be carried on the neck 
like a pendant or to be worn on the wrist like a watch. In 
distress situations, they can press the button on their 
transmitter, causing the Abbra to send an emergency call 
to the central monitoring station or to private telephones 
designated by the installer. 
To make this possible, define the required number of zones 
as emergency zones and enroll a portable transmitter to 
each one of these zones. When completed, ask the master 
user to distribute these transmitters to their potential users. 
D3. Fire Zones 
A fire zone uses smoke detectors and is permanently 
active (a fire alarm is triggered regardless of whether the 
system is armed or disarmed). Upon detection of smoke, a 
pulsating siren sounds immediately and the event is 
reported via the telephone line.
