Visonic Contact Sensor for Front Door Zone-Type Question

[mikecouk]

Hi All,

Question related to a Powermaster 10 system, but the Zone Types seem to be fairly standard across the range so any advice is welcome even if you have a powermax !

My question is what zone type should a contact sensor on my front door be ? Obviously it forms part of the perimeter for Arm-Away and Arm, so I thought it should be "Permeter-Follow" to allow me to open and close the door on leaving.
This works fine, but on returning to the house, if I don't have my fob on me, it means the alarms goes off immediately on opening the door before I have chance to enter the code in the hallway.
Is there a zone type that also has a delay on entry ? ( I did have it set to Entry/Exit 1 on purchase .... ), so that I can type in a code on a remote pad rather than use a fob WITHOUT setting the alarm off ?

For reference the contact sensor is an MCT-302 !

Mike

The devices are pre learnt normally and configured.

The entry door is usually so it starts the entry when you enter the property when the system is set.

What do you want it do beyond entry/ exit?
