Honeywell VISTA: Program *34, Exit Delay

Our video tutorial will discuss how to program the *34 Exit Delay function on your Honeywell Vista control panel.
Depending on the layout of your home, and where the control panel is installed, you may find that the time it takes to enter your home and access the panel is too short. Likewise, perhaps the time to arm your system and exit the home is too long.
You can change these delay times using the Honeywell Vista 6160 control panel and the installer function star (*) 34. Our video will discuss the procedure so you can adjust the delay time for your system.
In the video you will learn that the entry delay time or the exit delay time is the time set that allows you to either enter the home and disarm the system or to arm the system and exit the home. You may find yourself needing to adjust these times to allow yourself more time to enter the home or less time to leave the home.
Our video covers the exit delay timing program. To access this program function, you will first need to enter the installer code followed by the numbers 800. This will give you installer access to programming and will display on the LCD screen.
Once in programming mode press the star (*) key followed by the numbers 34. As our video shows, the LCD screen will display “Exit Delay 1 2”. These are the partitions for the system.
The exit delay period is a two digit number representing the number of seconds to delay arming the system to allow you to leave the home. As we discus in our video, the default time delay is 60 seconds.
To change this, press the numbers on the keypad to represent how many seconds you want for the exit delay. In the video we set this to 45 seconds by pressing the numbers 45 on the key pad. The system jumps to partition 2.
Enter the exit delay times for partition 2. If you are not using the second partition, you can enter any number you like. As the video details, one you enter the second time delay, the control panel will ring letting you know the time has been accepted.
The video will tell you about the entry and exit delay times and give you important tips about how to set them. The key point is that the exit delay is a global time across all entry points, unlike the entry delay which can have multiple settings based on zone.
Once you have the exit delay entered, press the star (*) key followed by the numbers 99. This will exit programming and return the system to ready to arm state. This will be visible on the control panel LCD screen by telling you it is disarmed and ready to arm.
You can view our other videos to learn more about entry delay or any other feature of the Honeywell Vista system.

Can you mute the beep sequence for entry delay on away mode?

[@ryanbt80]

We have the 6160 Keypad. Our backdoor instantly sets off the siren. I've changed the entry delay to 45 seconds for both partitions but it still sets the siren off instantly. We always use 'Stay' mode when we use our alarm, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Any tips? By the way, your videos are awesome! Our system came installed from our builder and it was never really set up properly (We weren't supposed to get an alarm panel at all, just the wiring, it was sort of an oops by the builder so they never sent anyone back to finish the install). I used your videos specifically to get it programmed, so thank you for all of your help thus far!

[@AlarmGrid]

It sounds as though your back door is programmed as a perimeter zone. Perimeter zones don't observe exit or entry delay. Once you arm the system, a perimeter zone is armed, and opening it will cause an immediate alarm, even while the exit delay is counting down. This zone type is used for windows, and doors that you don't intend to use for entry or exit. You should go into the zone programming for that zone and change it from perimeter to Entry/Exit (Zone Type 01).

By the way, thank you for your kinds words. It's always nice to know that our videos are helping people.

[@ryanbt80]

@@AlarmGrid That's exactly what it was. Took me 30 seconds to change to Entry/Exit 01! Thank you!

[@briancamadeca2742]

Anyone know how to set an entry/exit delay for the stay mode? This video I believe is only for the away mode?

[@dylanalarm_grid1038]

The Entry/Exit delay is universal for both arm-stay and arm-away.

[@reedweldon2312]

After I changed the exit delay, now it does a confirmation ding but it doesn’t beep all the way down.

[@dylanalarm_grid1038]

When you are performing an Arm Away, the panel will do an audible countdown. Arm Stay does a silent countdown. Which are you attempting and what did you set your exit delay to?

[@Thunderbolt1003]

Can this be done with a fixed keypad (6150)?

[@justinh1196]

Thunderbolt 1003 yes, but the screens won’t always look the same because a 6150 isn’t an alpha keypad.

[@procrastinator1842]

@@justinh1196 I'm having a godawful time setting entry delay with a 6150 keypad!

[@lance_nickel]

Anybody else notice that the RF is slightly higher pitched compared to the 6160 and 6160V? Mine is as well.

PurifyHD soy de RD y tengo un cliente con un panel ademco vista48La con el teclado que trae el panel y quiero programarle un teclado honeywell thouch 6280 me pueden ayudar por favor.

[@djawana]

Yes, that is one thing I like about the RF model. Since I'm running 5828s I'm using the 6160RF for it.

[@twistedwhiskers8776]

When the alarm is on stay and we open the basement window the siren goes off immediately how can I put an entry delay on the basement windows?

[@joshuagriffin2807]

Change the zone type to 01 for entry exit 1

[@jeremyburrage4197]

My quick keys (function keys) are set as fire, police, and medical. The fourth one is blank. I need it to be set as Arm stay. Can anyone point me in the right direction to set the fourth function button as stay?

[@nathangalarmgrid5205]

You would need to look into the programming guide at field *57. Unfortunately I can't provide links on KZbin or it will get deleted. If your in need of more assistance send us an email at support@ alarmgrid . com.
