Figure 1. Security System Components

Panel

The panel is the heart of your system. The panel circuitry is enclosed in a steel cabinet and is installed out of the way of household or workplace traffic. The panel monitors all sensors and devices in the system and initiates a call to the central monitoring station in an alarm situation.

Touchpads

Touchpads let you communicate with and control the system.You’ll use a touchpad to arm, dis- arm, and program your system.

Door/Window Sensors

Door and window sensors protect the perimeter of your home by detecting when a door or win- dow is opened.

Motion Sensors

Motion detectors in hallways or individual rooms detect a person moving across the field of detection.

Environmental Sensors

Environmental sensors such as smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide detectors remain alert for the presence of fire or carbon monoxide 24 hours a day.

Optional System Components

Your system may include optional components that add the capability to:

•control heating/air-conditioning

•report alarms by cellular phone link in case landlines are down or inoperative

•control/monitor the system from on- or off-site using a touchtone phone or via the Internet
