Appendix B: Glossary of Terms

A zone which is always active regardless of whether the system is armed
or disarmed. Opening a 24hr zone always generates an alarm.
The disruption of AC power. In the event of AC loss, the panel waits five
minutes before sending an event message.
The method used in RP communication allowing the control panel to
share a telephone line with answering machines, fax machines etc.
The state during which the control panel is fully activated. In most cases,
when the system is armed, opening a zone generates an alarm.
An alarm that sounds the bell/siren.
The Auxiliary Power Output supplies power to all peripheral units
(keypads, detectors etc.)
The telephone number dialed if the panel fails to communicate with the
primary telephone number.
A tone sounded by the keypad. Four different kinds of beep are sounded
for keystroke confirmation, successful entry acknowledge-ment, illegal
entry and exit/entry delay.
The programmable amount of time the bell is sounded when an audible
zone generates an alarm.
An operation that checks if the bell/siren and keypad LEDs are functional.
The bell test sounds the bell and lights all the LEDs on the keypad for a
period of two seconds.
A zone which is ignored by the system. No alarm is generated from a
bypassed zone even when the system is armed.
A toll saver feature which cuts the cost of remote programming. When a
call is received from the remote programmer the panel hangs up and calls
the RP Callback telephone number.
The monitoring service the panel alerts when an alarm is generated.
see Zone Chime
A conditional zone does not generate an alarm if opened during the entry
delay.
The factory programmed parameters designed to facilitate programming.
The exit/entry delay times are programmed to allow the user time to arm
or disarm the system without generating an alarm.
When the system is disarmed, only 24hr zones and distress keys are
capable of generating an alarm.
The three distress keys (F, E and P) generate different types of alarm
when pressed and held down for two seconds.
Entering the duress code generates a silent alarm to indicate that the
user is being forced to disarm the system or cancel the bell.
