Actually, the relay would *transfer* (not "open") for 10 minutes or until the
system is disarmed, whichever comes first.

The idea is to give it enough time to complete three rounds of calls to as
many as 4 numbers.  That only happens if no one responds with the 1#1# on a
phone that receives the message and no one disarms the system.  The problem
with the momentary setting is the dialer will keep on calling even if the
system is disarmed after an accidental alarm.  That is invariably the worst
choice.

I'll give you a pass on not understanding this stuff since you don't use these
things.  Although they are not as secure as central station monitoring (when
performed by more competent companies than Monitronix), auto-dialers do serve
a purpose for folks who don't want or need those services.
