GLOSSARY OF ADVANTAG E plus TERMS
Access Module - Access Modules are Base Module add-on units that
provide facility access control. Each Access Module controls up to
four facility doors, provides ten general purpose alarm loops and six
auxiliary outputs. The Advantage plus Base Module can interface and
control up to seven Access Modules.
Advantor Audio Sensor - An audio sensing device capable of
receiving audio and reporting sounds to an audio detection circuit for
audio detection alarm monitoring. The AudioSensor also supplies the
central station operator with verification audio to help identify the
cause of an alarm loop violation.
Advantor Glass Break - The Advantor Glass Break is a versatile,
dual-function, audio verification sensor and glass break detector. It
contains an adjustable glass breakage detector and verification audio
capability in a single unit.
Audio Detection - Audio detection describes the proven method of
using AudioSensors in combination with SmartAudio Modules for
volumetric detection of intrusions. An unrecognized sound triggers an
AUDIO Activation and alerts the central monitoring central station.
Audio Verification - Audio verification is live audio sent to the
central monitoring station console when a violation occurs. The
monitoring operator uses this audio to assist in identifying the cause
of an alarm loop violation.
Base Module - The primary control unit for Advantage plus systems.
The Base Module directs and controls all other optional modules and
devices and provides communication with the SONICS central
monitoring console.
The Base Module provides sixteen programmable alarm loops, up to
eight separate zones, a Wiegand card reader input, and four balanced
audio inputs for verification audio. The Base Module's RS-485
communication port can interface and control the following:
• any combination of 16 LCD plus and LED plus keypads
• eight alarm loop Expansion Modules
• any combination of up to eight SmartAudio Modules or
ListenIn Modules
• one Wireless Module*
• seven Access Modules
*NOTE: This module has not been investigated and installation is
not permitted in UL Listed systems.

Revision A
Expansion Module - The Expansion Module is a Base Module add-
on unit that provides the system with an additional sixteen supervised,
programmable alarm loops and four additional auxiliary outputs. The
Advantage plus Base Module can interface and control up to eight
Expansion Modules.
LCD plus Keypad - The LCD plus keypad is a fifteen button wall-
mounted keypad in its own enclosure. The keypad contains a four
line, twenty character per line Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that
displays the Advantage plus' status in plain English.
ListenIn Module- The ListenIn is an optional unit that when added
to the Advantage plus Base Module gives the system the ability to
support sixteen additional audio verification sensors (AudioSensors or
GlassBreaks). The Advantage plus Base Module can interface and
control any combination of up to eight ListenIn Modules and/or
SmartAudio Modules.
SmartAudio Module - An optional add-on module that gives the
Advantage plus system audio detection capability. The SmartAudio
Module supplies eight audio detection circuits and connections for up
to sixteen audio sensors (Advantor Audio Sensors). The Advantage
plus Base Module can interface and control any combination of up to
eight SmartAudio Modules and/or ListenIn Modules.
TelPlus - The TelPlus is an optional add-on unit that, when added to
the Advantage plus Base Module, provides a second telephone line
interface with the SONICS central station monitoring console.
You can configure the TelPlus for either a second dial telephone
interface, or as the primary dedicated telephone line and use the
Base Module's telephone interface for a backup dial communication.
NOTE: You can configure the Base Module's telephone line
connection for either dial line or dedicated line connec-
tion (but not both). Only use the TelPlus to provide a
second telephone line interface.
Wireless Module - An optional add-on module that interfaces the
Base Module with up to 63 spread spectrum (long range) wireless
transmitters with individual detector identification. The Base Module
can control one Wireless Module.
NOTE: This module has not been investigated and installation is
not permitted in UL Listed systems.
