Security System Glossary

Area	A group of detection devices
	connected to your security system.
Arm	To turn on your controlled points
	(burglar detection devices). When an
	area is armed and a controlled point
	trips, an alarm occurs or entry delay
	begins. When an area is disarmed,
	faulting controlled points does not
	generate alarms.
Authority	Your security company or security
Level	representative assigns an authority
	level to your passcode. The authority
	level determines what command
	center functions you can execute.
Bypass	Selectively remove points from the
	security system. You might bypass a
	point in order to arm the perimeter
	with a window open.
Central	A facility where trained personnel
Station	monitor your security system 24 hours
	a day. Your security system may be
	programmed to contact the central
	station during alarm conditions,
	enabling central station personnel to
	dispatch the proper authorities.
Closing	A report your system can be
Report	programmed to send to the central
	station indicating that an area has been
	armed. Opening and closing reports
	are commonly used by commercial
	accounts.
Command	A list of functions programmed by
Menu	your security company. They can
	perform most command center
	functions with only two or three
	keystrokes.
Entry Delay	A programmed delay of system alarm
	response, which allows you to enter an
	armed area through the correct point
	and disarm the area. If you don’t
	disarm before the delay time expires,
	the system begins an alarm response,
	which may include reports to the
	central station.

Exit Delay	A programmed delay of system alarm
	response, which allows you to exit
	after arming an area. If you don’t exit
	before the delay time expires, entry
	delay begins. You must disarm the
	system. If you don’t disarm before
	the delay time expires, the system
	begins an alarm response, which may
	include reports to the central station.
Faulted	A point that is not normal (a door or
Point	window is open).
Force Arm	To turn on (arm) the security system
	even though one or more points are
	faulted. Force arming bypasses the
	faulted points.
Idle Text	The security system displays idle text
	at command centers when it is not
	performing a user-requested function.
	Idle text shows the arming status of the
	system.
Master Arm	To turn on (arm) both interior points
	and perimeter points.
Menu	A list of functions you execute from a
	command center.
Opening	A report your system can be
Report	programmed to send to the central
	station indicating that an area has been
	disarmed. Opening and closing reports
	are commonly used by commercial
	accounts.
Perimeter	An arming command that arms only
Arm	the perimeter points.
Point	A detection device or group of devices
	connected to your security system.
	Points display individually at the
	command center with custom text. The
	text can describe a single door, motion
	sensor, smoke detector, or an area such
	as UPSTAIRS or GARAGE.
Relay	Your system may have relays
	programmed to provide control of
	devices such as premises lighting or
	entry gates. Your security company
