Disarming
This means turning off one or more areas of the system. When
disarmed, the system does NOT sound alarms or send alarm reports
to a central station when a burglary zone faults.
Zone
A zone refers to a protected opening or pro tection device assigned
to a zone number. Each door or window, motion detec tor, smoke
detector, or other device has a zone number and a name.
Entry or Exit Zone
Almost all systems have one or more doors through which you can
enter or exit the premises. These doors are programmed with a
delay time to allow you to enter or exit while the system is armed
without setting off the alarm.
When you arm the system, activity on all burglary zones is ignored
until the programmed exit delay time expires. Once that time has
expired and the system is fully armed, opening the door causes the
panel to start the entry delay time. During the entry delay time,
enter a valid user code to disarm the system or an alarm occurs.
Instant Zone
Exterior windows and non-entry doors, or interior protection
devices, are typically not programmed with delay times. If these
zones fault while the system is armed, an alarm occurs instantly.
24-Hour Zone
A 24-hour zone is not turned on or off by arming or disarm ing your
system. Some examples of 24-hour zones are fire zones, panic
zones, and temperature control zones.
8
Areas
An area is made up of burglary zones that can be armed or disarmed
together. The Perimeter area, for example, consists of all the doors
and windows on the outside of the building. When you arm the
Perimeter, these zones sound an alarm if tripped.
Central Station Monitoring
Your system can also be programmed to automatically send alarm,
trouble, and arming and disarming reports to a central station.
Operators at the central station can then dispatch the appropriate
authorities or contact you with the specific event information.
Status
Status is a feature that automatically displays the system armed or
dis armed status at the keypad and on the panel enclosure. Alarm
or trouble con ditions on a zone or a system monitor such as AC
or battery trouble can also display. There are two types of status
information available: Status List and Armed Status.
Status List
The Status List displays any alarm or trouble condition on a zone
and any trouble condition that occurs with the AC power or battery
power. If your system contains any Panic zones, these do not display
on the keypad for security reasons.
If an alarm occurs on a non-fire, 24-hour zone or a system monitor,
it remains in the Sta tus List until it re stores. If one or more armed
burglary zones trips, the last one to trip remains in the Status List.
The burglary zone alarm remains in the Status List until it is cleared
by disarming the system. Pressing the COMMAND key allows the
next status list item to be displayed.
