Security System Basics

What is a Point?
A "point" is a detection device, or group of devices connected to your
security system. The keypad shows point status through the lights
numbered 1 to 8 on the keypad display. Each point can represent a
single door, window, motion sensor, smoke detector, or other detection
device.
What is a "Faulted" Point?
When a point (such as a door or window) is closed, it is said to be
"normal." When the door or window is open, the point is said to be
"faulted," or not normal. When you turn your system on, you will
usually want all of the points in your system to be normal. You can turn
your system on with faulted points by using the Bypassing Points (on
page 16) procedure.
The keypad shows faulted points by lighting the point status display
(numbered one through eight).
Are All Points the Same?
No. There are two basic types of points, Controlled and 24-hour.
