Alarm | When a zone is violated (e.g., a smoke detector detects smoke, a motion detector senses | |
| movement, a door with a contact is opened), it will trigger an alarm. |
|
| Intrusion (burglary) alarm: An alarm triggered by an intrusion detector (e.g., motion | |
| detectors, glassbreak detectors, door/window contacts). Usually occurs when the system is | |
| armed. |
|
| Fire alarm: An alarm triggered by fire, smoke or heat detectors. Fire alarms may be trig- | |
| gered at any time, whether the system is armed or not. |
|
Audible exit | A feature that warns you of an improper exit when arming the system in Away mode. Helps | |
fault | to reduce false alarms (see page 7). |
|
Away arming | Arming the system so that all the zones (border and interior) are turned on. (Used when | |
| everyone is away from the premises.) |
|
Bypassing | When you bypass a zone, the detector for that zone will no longer monitor activity in the | |
zones | zone and will not be able to trigger an alarm. |
|
Central | If remote monitoring is enabled, your system will send alarms, troubles and emergency | |
Station | messages to the central station. The central station will then notify authorities in your area, | |
| if necessary. |
|
Detector | A part of the system that can detect problems and report them to the control panel (e.g., a | |
| motion detector can tell the control panel if there is movement in a zone). |
|
Emergency | A message sent to the central station when one of the pairs of emergency keys ( | ) is |
Message | pressed and held for two seconds. Your installer must program these keys, or they will not work. | |
Entry delay | A timer programmed by your installer. It starts when you enter an armed area of the system. | |
| You must enter an access code to disarm the system before the timer runs out, or else an | |
| alarm will be triggered. |

Entry/exit doors
Event buffer
Your installer will program the doors you usually use to enter or exit the premises as entry/exit doors. These doors will be programmed to have entry and exit delays. Keypads will normally be placed near the entry/exit delay doors for easy access to arming/disarming functions.
The event buffer contains a list of the last 256 events that have occurred on your system. You must be at an LCD5500Z keypad to view the event buffer.
