1.0 System Overview
A security system usually consists of:
•A Control Panel: The control panel is the center of your intrusion/fire alarm system. It supports vital functions such as receiving trouble and alarm signals from detectors, sounding of bells, sirens, or both, and communicating with your alarm monitoring company.
•Keypads: The keypad is where you interact with the system. The keypad allows you to initiate commands, such as arming and disarming, and displays critical information about the operation of your alarm system. Your system can have one or more wired and wireless keypads.
•Protected Zones: Your security system can contain protected windows and doors (perimeter zones), and various internal sensors. Your system separates perimeter zones from interior protection zones. Specific protection devices might include:
-Glass Breakage sensors: Devices that detect the sound of breaking glass.
-Interior Motion sensors: Electronic sensors (for example, passive infrared) that detect movement within an interior zone.
If your system is not monitored by an alarm monitoring service, you must understand:
• alarms sound only at your location
• no signals are sent when an alarm occurs
• duress and other silent alarms are disabled
• emergency alarms sound only at your location

Unless your system is set up to communicate with the central station over a network, you cannot use your phone when the system communicates with the central station. In the unlikely event that the central station cannot receive the report, your phone could be unavailable for up to 20 minutes while the system tries to communicate with the station.0
