How do I change my entry delay on a Power 832?

Sep 06, 2006 16 Replies

Can someone please advise me how to do this?



The manual states that my installer can change the entry delay. I do not HAVE an installer. The installer was a previous person who owned this home.



I changed the master code to protect myself, but the entry delay is about 10 or 15 seconds. Very annoying. Yes - I know the reasons for having a short delay!



But still, I would like to increase the dealy on it.



Can someone please advise me as to how I do that?



Thank you



You'll need the installer code. *8 [installer code] 005 [XXX] [YYY] [ZZZ] ## XXX = entry delay 1 in seconds (30 = 030) YYY = entry delay 2 ZZZ = exit delay js

My keypad doesn't have X, Y and Z keys?

That's because it's made by "Fisher Price". Try "star", "circle", "square" (and quit trying to put the big blue round pieces in the little red square slots).

I know. They're not available in Texas. You guys have enough to do like shoe tyin', armadilla racin', and Texas two-steppin'. js

Have you seen the SIZE of those Texas motion detectors? Those things are HUGE.... :-)

What if I do not know the installer code? Is there someway to reset it to a defualt (And what would that default be?)??

In that case you'll need to default the panel and reprogram all of it. js

Questions:

1) How to I default the panel?

2) by reprogramming all of it, would that include the devices hooked into it as well? Or would those stay?

You know what they say about an installer and the size of his motion sensors, don't you?

Is it true that you use the recessed PIR's?

Nope, but if I did keep in mind it's what's *in the wall* that counts. ;-)

I think they refer to that as a "glory hole" don't they?

Heh... "Glory be"... :-)
