Question 1) the exit timer is engineer programming only, you need to call your servicing company for that.

Question 2) If you have a contact on your entry door (and you should) then this would normally start the entry noise.

If you dont then it may be that the hall movement detector is your entry detector, in which case the entry timer will only start when this detector sees you.

Also, if you have a contact switch on the entry door it's possible that the contact is sticking & not starting the timer, although if there was a PIR in the hall as Pete suggests & it's not Prog's as your entry zone, I would have expected it to go into alarm when walking into its view.

If you have a contact switch on the door, try giving it a few gentle taps to see if this starts the timer, as it could be sticking.

If you post your location (town), one of the forum trade members here will probably be able to help you.
