ARMS THE PERIMETER
(INCLUDING THE ENTRY/

ENTRY DELAY.
PERSONS WITHIN THE
PREMISES CAN MOVE
ABOUT FREELY
Use this key when staying inside and do not expect anyone to use an entry/exit door.
1. Enter your security code and press the INSTANT key.
2. The keypad beeps three times and displays the armed message. The red ARMED
indicator lights. Note that there is an exit delay in effect before arming actually takes
place. See the note below.
3. After arming, an alarm sounds immediately if any protected perimeter door or window
is opened, but you may otherwise move freely throughout the premises.
An alarm sounds immediately if anyone opens an entry/exit door.
If you wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after arming INSTANT, you can
re-start the
exit delay at any time – simply press the [ ✱ ] key, and then let that person
in. This will avoid having to disarm the system and then re-arm it again.
Note: When you first arm the system in the INSTANT mode, “You may exit now” will be
displayed on an Alpha keypad during the programmed exit delay. This delay is in
effect in the system even when arming INSTANT. When the exit delay period
ends, “You may exit now” disappears and the system is then fully armed in the
INSTANT mode.
