ALERT - The "alert" status indicates the system has been
tripped. The system will remember the "alert" status until
cleared. To clear the "alert" status, simply re-arm the panel.
ANNUNCIATION - Beep or speech emitted over the phone
or through system speakers to announce activity or report
system status.
ARM - To turn the security system ON to detect intrusion.
There are three modes, or levels, of arming: AWAY, HOME
or NIGHT.
AWAY - Arming mode for use when you are “AWAY” from
the premises. All interior and perimeter devices are armed;
intrusion and/or movement within the premises will activate
the alarm.
BYPASS - To temporarily remove a zone from the system that
would normally be active when the system is armed. If a
zone is bypassed, it is not part of the system, and will not
initiate an alarm.
CENTRAL STATION - If your security system is monitored,
this is the agency that receives the incoming burglary or
emergency message from the security system and reports it to
the proper authorities.
COMMUNICATOR - The device in the control panel that
reports all burglary and emergency alarms to the central
station via telephone lines.
CONTROL PANEL - The heart of the security system. Only a
qualified security system technician should open the
container which houses the control panel.
DISARM - To turn the security system OFF or silence alarm
activations, including fire alarms, that may occur while the
system is armed.
DISARM CODE - The three or four digit number you enter to
disarm the security system. The system will accept 8 different
disarm codes, including disappearing and duress codes.
ENTRANCE DELAY - Time permitted to enter the armed
premises and disarm the security system before the alarm is
activated. A 20 second delay is set at the factory, but your
installer can program a longer or shorter time, as desired.
