Visonic PowerMaster-10 Installer's Manual page 94

To disarm the system without causing an alarm, use
your control keypad (which is normally accessible
without disturbing a perimeter zone) or use a keyfob
transmitter.
Latchkey: The Latchkey mode is a special arming
mode in which designated "latchkey users" will
trigger a "latchkey message" to be sent to a
telephone or a pager when they disarm the system.
For example, if a parent wants to be sure that their
child has returned from school and disarmed the
system. Latchkey arming is only possible when the
system is armed in the AWAY mode.
Location: Assigning a named location to a device
(e.g. Garage, Front Door etc.)
Magnetic Contact Detector, Wireless: A Magnet-
controlled switch and a wireless PowerG transmitter in a
shared housing. The detector is mounted on doors and
windows to detect changes in state (from closed to
open and vice versa). Upon sensing that a door or
window is open, the detector transmits its unique
identification code accompanied by an "alarm" signal
and various other status signals to the control panel.
The control panel, if not armed at that time, will consider
the alarm system as "not ready for arming" until it
receives a "restored" signal from the same detector.
Motion Detector, Wireless: A passive Infrared
motion sensor and a wireless PowerG transmitter in a
shared housing. Upon sensing motion, the detector
transmits its unique identification code, accompanied
by an alarm signal and various other status signals to
the control panel. After transmission, it stands by to
sense further motion.
Non-Alarm Zone: Your installer can designate a
zone for roles other than alarm. For instance, a
motion detector installed in a dark stairway may be
used to switch on lights automatically when someone
crosses the dark area. Another example is a
miniature wireless transmitter linked to a zone that
controls a gate opening mechanism.
Quick Arming: Arming without a user code. The
control panel does not request your user code when
you press one of the arming buttons. Permission to
use this arming method is given or denied by the
installer while programming the system.
Remote Responder: A responder can be either a
professional service provider to which the home or
business owner subscribes (a Monitoring Station) or a
family relation/friend who agrees to look after the
protected site during absence of its occupants. The
control panel reports events by telephone to both
kinds of responders.

Restore: When a detector reverts from the state of
alarm to the normal standby state, it is said to have
been "restored".
A motion detector restores automatically after
detection of movement, and becomes ready to detect
again. This kind of "restore" is not reported to the
remote responders.
A magnetic contact detector restores only upon
closure of the protected door or window. This kind of
"restore" is reported to the remote responders.
Sensor: The sensing element: pyroelectric sensor,
photo-diode, microphone, smoke optical sensor etc.
Signal Strength: The quality link communication
between the system components and the control
panel.
Smoke Detector, Wireless: A regular smoke detector
and a wireless PowerG transmitter in a shared housing.
Upon detection of smoke, the detector transmits its
unique identification code accompanied by an alarm
signal and various status signals to the control panel.
Since the smoke detector is linked to a special fire zone,
a fire alarm is initiated.
State: AWAY, HOME, AWAY-INSTANT, HOME-
INSTANT, LATCHKEY, FORCED, BYPASS.
Status: AC fail, low battery, trouble, etc
User Codes: The PowerMaster-10 is designed to
obey your commands, provided that they are
preceded by a valid security access code.
Unauthorized people do not know this code, so any
attempt on their part to disarm or defeat the system
is bound to fail. Some operations, however, can be
carried out without a user code as they do not
degrade the security level of the alarm system.
Zone: A zone is an area within the protected site
under supervision of a specific detector. During
programming, the installer allows the control panel to
learn the detector's identity code and links it to the
desired zone. Since the zone is distinguished by
number and name, the control panel can report the
zone status to the user and register in its memory all
the events reported by the zone detector. Instant and
delay zones are "on watch" only when the control
panel is armed, and other (24-hour) zones are "on
watch" regardless of whether the system is armed or
not.
Zone Type: The zone type determines how the
system handles alarms and other signals sent from
the device
.
