Glossary of Terms
Description
A monitored input where tamper switches and emergency switches can be
connected. If one of these switches is violated at any time (whether the system is
armed or disarmed), an alarm is reported.
The status when an alarm system is armed and one of the detection devices is
violated. A 24-Hour zone (for example, a smoke detector) can activate when the
system is armed or disarmed.
The mode used to arm your system when you leave your premises.
A device that allows you to perform all functions such as arming, disarming, and
programming of your alarm system.
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.
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.
A system status that does not accept alarms, except for 24-hour zones.
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.
The beeping from a codepad during an entry delay as a reminder to disarm the
system.
A programmed delay of the system alarm responses that allows a person to leave a
building after turning the system on.
A hand-held transmitter that you can use to arm and disarm your system, or to
initiate a panic alarm.
A numeric code used for arming and disarming the system, and for allowing access
to all functions available through the codepad.
A secure location where a digital receiver monitors a number of alarm systems and
deciphers their alarm transmission reports so the operator can advise the
appropriate authorities to take immediate action.
A condition or type of alarm in which the user requires either immediate police or
medical assistance.
Refers to a zone's status. If a zone is sealed, the detection devices are not violated
and the zone indicator is not lit (that is, a reed switch is closed or a detector is on
standby waiting for an intrusion).
An alarm that sounds only at a remote location, and gives no obvious local
indication that an alarm was sent out.
A condition that automatically isolates certain zones when the security system is
armed in this mode. Only the installer can program these zones.
A condition that automatically isolates certain zones when the security system is
armed in this mode. The Master Code holder can program these zones.
Refers to a zone's status. If a zone is unsealed, the detection devices are violated
and the zone indicator is lit (that is, a reed switch is open or a detector noted an
intrusion).
A numeric code used to arm and disarm the system.
A monitored input used to activate an alarm. A zone might be set up to activate an
alarm only when the system is armed or to operate whether the system is armed or
disarmed.
