Description

24-Hour Zones

A monitored input programmed to trigger an alarm condition when violated when

 

the system is armed or disarmed 24 hours a day.

Alarm Condition

Your alarm system is armed and one of the detection devices is violated. A 24-hour

 

zone (such as a smoke detector) can activate an alarm condition when your system

 

arms or disarms.

Answering Machine

Answering machine bypass is incorporated. You can connect to the system for

Bypass

remote arming operations when there is an answering machine or facsimile machine

 

on the same telephone line.

Armed

The system is in a ready state to accept alarms.

Automatic Arming

The system automatically arms at the same time every day in AWAY Mode or STAY

 

Mode 1.

Automatic Disarming

The system automatically disarms at the same time every day.

AWAY Mode

Used to arm your system when you leave your premises.

Codepad

Arm/disarm the system and carry out other functions such as adding and deleting

 

system user codes.

Day Alarm

Monitor a combination of zones while the system is disarmed.

Detectors

Devices connected to your alarm system used to detect intrusion and cause an

 

alarm condition. Some forms of detection devices include Passive Infrared (PIR),

 

smoke detectors, photoelectric beams, reed switches, and vibration sensors.

Disarmed

A state that does not accept alarms except on zones programmed for 24-hour

 

operation.

Dynamic Battery

Used to monitor and test the condition of your back-up battery.

Testing

 

Entry Time/

The time allowed by a zone for disarming the system after entering your premises.

Entry Delay

 

External Equipment

Any device connected to your system such as detectors, codepads, and sirens.

Forced Arming

A situation where your alarm system can be armed when one or more zones are

 

unsealed.

Handover Delay

The system is armed and a zone programmed for delay was violated. The delay zone

 

hands over the remaining delay time to a zone programmed as handover. The

 

handover zone does not activate an alarm until the remaining delay time expires. A

 

handover zone acts as an instant zone if violated before the delay zone.

Hand Held Remote

Used to remotely operate your system by hand held transmitters.

Control

 

Isolating

Manually disable (isolate) one or more zones before arming the system.

Master Code

A numeric code used to arm and disarm the system and to allow access to

 

functions such as adding and deleting user codes.

Monitoring Station

A secure location where a digital receiver monitors numerous alarm systems and

 

deciphers their Alarm Transmission Reports. The operator can then advise the

 

appropriate authorities to take immediate action.

Panic Alarm

Type of alarm that indicates to the monitoring station there is an emergency

 

situation at your premises.

Sealed

Refers to zone status. If a zone is sealed, the detection device is not violated and

 

the zone indicator does not display on the codepad.

Sensor Watch

The control panel can recognise that detection devices may have stopped working

 

or that the view to a PIR detector is blocked (unable to detect any movement over

 

the duration of the time programmed by your installer).
