An alarm that is triggered by a security device, without any burglar. It
could be caused by open windows, pets or incorrect projection of
security equipment.
Operational/non-operational. A device may be offline due to a
malfunction in the device itself or it may be disconnected from the
control.
A PCB module that connects to the Advisor Advanced control panel
or an expander to provide relay or open collector outputs.
See hold-up.
The condition of part of an area where a change in the status of
certain zones (from normal to active) causes an alarm. An area or
premise is part set when it is partially unoccupied like the outside of a
home is part set but the inside is still unset.
A 4 to 10 digit number given to, or selected by, a user. It is necessary
to enter a PIN on an Advisor keypad as a prerequisite to perform
most Advisor Advanced options. In the Advisor Advanced
configuration the PIN is associated with a user number, which
identifies the PIN holder to the system.
Passive infrared detector. A security device used to detect intruders
in a certain part of an area or premise. The technique used is based
on infrared detection.
An inquiry message continually sent by the Advisor Advanced control
panel to expanders and keypads. Polling allows the remote unit to
transfer data to the control panel.
Remote arming station. See Keypad.
A device used for access control that can read cards to allow access.
Depending on the needs and the type of cards, the reader can for
example be a magnetic swipe reader or proximity reader. May be
integrated into a keypad.
A region is a defined access control area having doors acting as
boundaries. Regions are used by the anti-passback functions to
monitor in which regions users are present. Transfers from one
region to another may be prohibited by the anti-passback settings.
See Expander.
See Keypad.
See Alarm reporting.
A zone that is programmed to open a door using a button or PIR.
Used to allow users to exit without using the door reader. Request to
exit is often abbreviated to RTE. Also called egress.
A timed set of actions.
See Armed display.
The condition of an area where a change in the status of any zone
(from normal to active) causes an alarm. An area or premise is only
set when it is unoccupied. Some zones (like vaults) can remain
armed continually.
A procedure that automatically inhibits a zone from generating an
alarm when it is activated. E.g. shunts stop a door generating an
alarm when opened for a short time.
