GLOSSARY

Here are a few terms that will be help- ful to know as you read this manual.

Arm and Disarm — Terms for on and off. When you arm the system, you turn on protection. Disarming the sys- tem turns off protection.

Away Mode — Your system’s armed mode when all sensor transmitters (in- cluding motion detectors) are armed.

Console — The system’s main control panel.

Delay Mode — A way of arming the system so it delays sounding an alert if a door/window sensor transmitter set to DELAY reports an intrusion.

Door/Window Sensor Transmitter

—Triggers the alarm when a secured door or window is opened.

Entry/Exit Delay — A setting on the handheld remote control that allows you time while entering and exiting your house before the system arms or the alarm trips.

Home Mode — The system’s armed mode when only doors and windows are armed (not motion detectors). This prevents you from accidentally tripping the motion detector(s) as you move around the house.

Instant Mode — A way of arming the system so the alarm immediately trips if a door/window sensor transmitter set to INSTANT or the motion detector re- ports an intrusion.

Note: The keychain remote control only arms the system in the instant mode.

Motion Detector — Senses motion by detecting a change in temperature when someone walks across its path.

Remote Control — A device that lets you arm and disarm the system away from the console.

Violation — An alarm condition, such as that caused by an opened door or window, detected by a sensor trans- mitter.

Zone — The area protected by a door/ window sensor transmitter, a motion detector, or other sensing/transmitting device.
