Note that the installer can disable these LEDs in order to hide the state of
the system (to comply with EN50131). If you wish to change the function of
the ABCD keys (and consequently the LEDs) please consult the installer.
Detectors or Zones?
When talking about alarm systems, people tend to use the words
"detectors" and "zones" interchangeably. Most of the time this doesn't
matter, but occasionally it can cause some confusion. In this book a
"detector" is a physical piece of equipment that signals some event. A
"zone" is how the keypad reports the location of the detector.
The reason for this is that an installer may connect several detectors
together to guard one "zone" (an area of a building for example). The
control unit cannot tell that this has happened, so it is easier for the keypad
to report an alarm from a "zone". Most of the time there is only one detector
per zone, especially with radio detectors.

Users

Types of User

The control unit provides for seven different types of user:
Master User This user can add any other user to the system, edit them, or
remove them. There is always (at least) one Master User: User 001. Master
Users can create or delete all other user types, including other Master
Users. No user can delete User 001 or change a Master User's type. In a
ward based system all Master Users always belong to all wards.
Admin User (Administrator) This user is similar to a Master User, but in a
ward based system is limited to one or more wards. Admin Users can
create, delete or edit other users (including Admin Users) belonging to the
same ward(s) but cannot create or delete Master Users. Admin Users can
assign other users to any of the wards that the Admin User belongs to, but
cannot assign users to wards that the Admin User does not belong to.
Normal User A normal user cannot add any other user to the system, or
remove them. A normal user can set and unset the system, change their
own access code, switch the Chime function on and off, and operate any
outputs that the installer has made available. In a ward based system a
normal user is assigned to one or more wards, which are the only parts of
the system that they can set and unset.
Ward User A ward user is similar to a Normal User, but has the added
restriction that they must set and unset their allocated wards from keypads
that are also assigned to those wards.
