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.
- Magnetic Contacts: Switches used to detect
the opening of doors or windows.
- Smoke Detectors: Devices that detect
products of combustion.
This system includes a telephone line
seizure feature. The system can be
programmed to report system events to a
central monitoring station. 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
