Access Control PIN
An Access Control PIN is a special code to turn electric door locks or other mechanisms connected to the control panel on or off.
Area (Partition)
An area exists when the system is divided up into 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 areas or partitions. Keypads within an area can interact with only that area.
Armed/Disarmed
Arming the system (burglar zones) turns it on. Disarming the system turns it off. Remember, fire protection (if installed) is always Armed/on.
Central Station/Monitoring Service
A Central Station/Monitoring Service is a facility used to continuously monitor phone signals from your system. Personnel are trained to dispatch the proper authorities when necessary.
Common Area
A Common Area is an area that is connected to another area or all the areas. It may be used as a common entry way to separate areas. A Master keypad would normally be found in the Common Area. A Common Area is only armed when all the areas it is connected to are armed. It is disarmed when at least one of the areas it is connected to is disarmed.
Custom Arming
Custom Arming is a type of arming that uses the [#][4] sequence. It is only a valid sequence if programmed by the installing company. It is a specific type of arming designed for your individual installation needs. Ask your installing company to explain Custom Arming further.
Disarming Command Sequence
The Disarming Command Sequence is the sequence of keys you press at the keypad to disarm the system and/or silence alarms. It consists of your PIN followed by the command (#) button.

Installing Company
The Installing Company is the company that physically installed the system. It may or may not be the same company who monitors the system.
Local System
A Local System is a system that has a control panel that is not programmed to call a monitoring service. It sounds only local (on site) bells or sirens when an intrusion or fire alarm is detected.
Monitored System
A Monitored System is a system that uses phone lines to notify a monitoring service of programmed abnormal events such as burglar or fire alarms.
Partitioning
Partitioning is to divide the system into 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 areas or partitions. This allows the system to act as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 separate systems.
Zone
A Zone is an input to the control panel. There are eight
Zone Bypassing
Zone Bypassing is a way of arming the system by deliberately eliminating zones to be armed.
