alarm condition | The status when an alarm system is armed and one of the detection devices is violated. |
| A |

|
answering machine | A condition that enables connection with the control panel for remote arming or remote |
bypass | programming operations when there is an answering machine or facsimile machine on |
| the same telephone line. |
|
|
Armed (System | A status in which the system is ready to accept alarms. |
ON) |
|
|
|
automatic arming | Programming that allows the system to arm automatically at the same time each day in |
| AWAY Mode or STAY Mode 1. |
automatic | Programming that allows the system to disarm automatically at the same time each day |
disarming | in AWAY Mode or STAY Mode 1. |
AWAY or # | A codepad button used to execute any given command. |
AWAY Mode | The mode used to arm your system when you leave your premises. |
codepad | A device that allows you to perform all functions such as arming, disarming, and |
| programming of your alarm system. |
|
|
day alarm | Programming that allows a combination of zones to be monitored while the system is |
| disarmed. |
|
|
detector | A unit installed as a satellite component in a security system designed to detect an |
| intruder within a protected area. Some common forms of detection devices are passive |
| infrared, smoke, photo electric beams, reed switches, and vibration sensors. |

dialer | An electronic device that uses tones or pulses to dial an electronic receiver such as a |
| monitoring station, mobile phone, or pocket pager. It uses the public switched |
| telephone network to send alarm or supervisory signals. |
disarmed | A system status that does not accept alarms, except for |
dual reporting | Reporting that allows your control panel to transmit alarm signals in two different |

|
entry delay | A programmed delay of the system alarm responses that allows a person to enter a |
| building through the entry door to turn the system off. |
|
|
entry warning | The beeping from a codepad during an entry delay as a reminder to disarm the system. |
|
|
exit delay | A programmed delay of the system alarm responses that allows a person to leave a |
| building after turning the system on. |
external equipment | Any device connected to a security system, such as a detector, codepad, or siren. |
force arming | A method of overriding the safety feature that prevents arming with a faulted zone on a |
| control panel. |
| If a system is armed and Zone 1 is violated, the entry delay starts timing. If Zone 2 is |
| violated, the entry delay time is handed over to the Zone 2 and so on, to Zones 3 and |
| 4. This is known as sequential |
A device used to arm and disarm a security system or to cause a panic alarm. | |
remote control |
