EXIT DELAY

The Exit Delay feature is useful when you are using your

STATIONSitter for security monitoring. This feature allows you to exit a building without tripping a security alarm. When tripping an alarm is unavoidable, yet a true alert condition has not actually occurred, the alarm response—including dial-out—can be temporarily suppressed.

The STATIONSitter is able to suppress and then reset its dialout function automatically through use of the Status Report. This is especially convenient when an alert condition is created upon exiting a monitored door, and there is no way to cancel from the local keypad.

Example: You are planning to exit through a monitored door.

Prior to exiting, you initiate a Status Report recitation at the

STATIONSitter keypad by pressing [WHAT IS], followed by [STATUS], (key sequence shown below). This allows you approximately 60 seconds to exit without activating the

STATIONSitter’s programmed response to an alarm. At the conclusion of the status report, normal alarm response is reactivated.

To use exit delay, initiate the Status Report.

1. Press WHAT IS.

2. Press STATUS.

The STATIONSitter recites the full Status Report; during this time, you are able to exit the monitored area without tripping an alarm.
