ZONE:
A perimeter zone is a group of points that protect the exterior of your
premises. Your outside doors and windows would be programmed as
a perimeter zone.
The actual alarm sensor, detector, or device installed to detect an
intrusion, fire, or environmental problem. Examples include: door
contacts, window contacts, motion sensors, glassbreak sensors, smoke
detectors, rate-of-rise heat detectors, temperature sensors,
flood/water sensors, and carbon monoxide gas detectors.
Most types of alarms and troubles alert you with the keypad sounder
and the sirens, horns, or speakers located in your premises. The
intent is to advise you of the alarm or trouble and allow you to
respond promptly. The audible sounds also let an intruder know that
he has been detected and will hopefully scare him away. In some
circumstances, an audible alarm might put your life in danger. For
that reason, those alarms are programmed as silent conditions. For
an example, see DURESS.
Your security system is composed of three main parts: 1) the control
panel, which functions as the system brain and the link to the
monitoring agency (central station); 2) the keypad(s), which provide
you with system status and allow you to input commands; 3) security
sensors such as door and window contacts, motion sensors, smoke
detectors and other sensors as required to detect intrusion, fire, and
other conditions for your premises.
A user code is a 4- or 6-digit code that is required to operate the
system. The system supports up to 15 separate user codes. The
system supports one master user who can add/delete other user
codes. Two of the user codes may be dedicated to special functions as
defined by your alarm company at the time of installation. (See User
Code Assignments in this manual)
A zone is a collection of sensors with common characteristics grouped
together for your operating convenience. The system will support 6
zones or groupings.
