Glossary - AMERITECH AM100 User Manual

The following terms are used throughout the manual.
ARM/DISARM: "Armed" simply means that the burglary portion of your system is turned ON and
is in a state of readiness. "Disarmed" means that the burglary system is turned
OFF, and must be rearmed to become operational. However, even in a "disarmed"
state, "emergency" and "fire" portions of your system are still operational.
KEYPAD: This is the area on your Keypad containing numbered pushbuttons similar to
those on telephones or calculators. These keys control the arming or disarming of
the system, and perform other functions which were previously described in this
manual.
ZONE: A specific area of protection.
BYPASS: To disarm a specific area of burglary protection while leaving other areas
operational.
DELAY ZONE: An area of protection containing doors most frequently used to enter or exit
(typically, a front door, back door, or door from the garage into the building). The
delay zone allows sufficient time for authorized entry or exit without causing an
alarm. Consult your installer for the entry and exit delay times that have been set
for your system during installation and record them in the space provided in this
manual on page 7.
DAY/NIGHT ZONE: An area of protection whose violation causes a trouble indication during the
disarmed (DAY) mode and an alarm during the armed (NIGHT) mode.
