Glossary

The following terms are used throughout the guide.
Arm/Disarm: "Armed" simply means that the burglary portion of your system is turned ON and is in a state of readiness.
"Disarmed" means that the burglary system is turned OFF, and must be rearmed to become operational. However, even in a
"disarmed" state, "emergency", "carbon monoxide" and "fire" portions of your system are still operational.
Bypass: To intentionally leave a specific zone unprotected while the rest of the system is armed.
Console Emulation: Console Emulation Mode allows you to use a TouchCenter interface just as you would a regular system
keypad. All commands shown in Console Emulation mode can also be executed from a standard alpha keypad.
Day/Night Zone: An area of protection whose violation causes a trouble indication during the disarmed (DAY) mode and an
alarm during the armed (NIGHT) mode.
Delay Zone: An area of protection containing doors most frequently used to enter or exit (typically, a front door, back door, or
door from the garage into the building). The delay zone allows sufficient time for authorized entry or exit without causing an
alarm. Consult your installer for the entry and exit delay times that have been set for your system during installation and record
them on the separate sheet provided in this guide.
Home Screen: The screen that is normally displayed on the TouchCenter when entries are not being made. The TouchCenter
returns to this screen when the "Home" icon is pressed or when an entry is not received for a pre-set period of time.
Keypad: This is the device through which you operate your system. It contains graphical icons. These graphical icons control the
arming or disarming of the system, and perform other functions that were previously described in this manual.
Lighting Icon: An icon on the Home screen that allows you to control lights or other devices, if so programmed by your system
installer.
Master Code: A 4-digit code that gives users access to all of the system's functions, including the ability to program other users
in the system. See also "User Code.
Message Icon: A graphical icon on the Home screen that allows you to record and retrieve voice messages.
Night: An arming mode for the system. Your system installer sets the type of arming and the zones armed when using this mode.
Partition: An independent group of zones that can be armed and disarmed without affecting other zones or users.
User Code: A 4-digit code that gives users access to the system's basic functions. See also "Master Code."
Zone: A specific protection point (e.g., door or window).
