Hi!
I have the above alarm fitted to my home (10 years ago), with installer-specified delays to two of my exterior doors. I have one other exterior door which I also need to have a delay. (It sets off the alarm immediately now). Can anyone advise me how to do this myself , or point me to a web site that gives the info in detail. My User's manual doesn't help and Honeywell says I need to pay an installer to do it. Would appreciate any help. Thanks!

It depends on which way they installed your wiring. If they "home run" all of the openings, then all you need to do is figure out which pair of wires is for that particular door, and physically move it to the loop that your other delay doors is on. If they "daisy chained" from opening to opening, your options are much more limited, because the door would likely be in the middle of a string of openings.

If the door is on a zone by itself. then you have the option of simply changing the zone type.
