Entry/Exit Delays 
General Information 
Your system has installer-programmed time delays, known as exit delay and 
entry delay. Whenever you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to 
leave through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm. Exit 
delay begins immediately after entering any arming command, and applies to 
all modes of arming protection. If programmed, a slow beeping will sound 
throughout the exit delay period.

Security Codes & Authority Levels 
General Information 
At the time of installation, you were assigned an authority level and a 
personal four-digit security code, known only to you and yours. The security 
code must be entered when arming and disarming the system. The authority 
level defines the system functions that you can perform.  
As an additional safety feature, other users that do not have a need to know 
your code can be assigned different security codes, and each user can be given...

Accessing Other Partitions 
To Access Another Partition 
Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will 
show only that partition’s information. But, if the user is authorized, a 
keypad in one partition can be used to perform system functions in the other 
partition, by using the GOTO command. Note that only the partitions 
authorized and programmed by the installer can be accessed in this manner. 
To GOTO another partition:
