Understanding Security System Terms
Entry or Exit zone
Almost all systems have one or more doors through which you can
enter or exit the premises. These doors are programmed with a
delay time to allow you to enter or exit without setting off the alarm.
When you arm the system, activity on this zone is ignored until the
programmed exit delay time expires. Once that time has expired and
the system is fully armed, opening the door causes the panel to start
the entry delay time. During the entry delay time, you must enter a
valid user code to disarm the system or an alarm will occur.
Instant Zone
Exterior windows and non entry doors, or interior protection devices,
are typically not programmed with delay times. If these zones are
tripped while the system is armed, an alarm occurs instantly.
24 Hour Zone
A 24 hour zone is not turned on or off by arming or disarming your
system. Some examples of 24 hour zones are: fire zones, panic
zones, and temperature control zones.
Areas
An area is made up of burglary zones that can be armed or disarmed
together. One area might consist of the office doors and windows.
When you arm the office, these zones arm together and sound an
alarm if opened.
Central Station Monitoring
Your system can also be programmed to automatically send alarm,
trouble, and arming and disarming reports to a central station.
Operators at the central station can in turn dispatch the appropriate
authorities or contact you with the specific event information.

Status
Status is a feature that automatically displays the armed or disarmed
status of your system on the Security Command keypads. Alarm or
trouble conditions on a zone or a system monitor such as AC or
battery trouble can also be displayed. There are two types of status
information available: Armed Status and Status List.
Armed Status
With Armed Status, the keypad displays the current armed condition
of areas within your security system. For example:
When you arm areas 1 to 4, the keypad shows =
When you arm areas 1 and 3, the keypad shows = 1
If your system is setup as an All/Perimeter or Home/Away system
and both the interior and perimeter is armed the display reads:
ALL SYSTEM ON
Status List
The keypad Status List displays any alarm or trouble condition on a
zone, and any trouble condition on an internal system monitor. The
system monitors include the AC power, battery power, panel box
tamper, printer, and phone lines. If more than one alarm or trouble
condition occurs at the same time, the keypad sequences this
information on its display.
If the alarm is from a 24 hour zone or a system monitor, it remains
in the Status List until it restores. If one or more armed burglary
zones trip at the same time, the last one to trip remains in the Status
List. This is to ensure that if a burglary has occurred the last zone
tripped remains displayed even if it has been restored.
