The following terms are used throughout the manual.
"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" and "fire" portions
of your system are still operational.
KEYPAD: This is the area on your Keypad containing numbered
pushbuttons similar to those on telephones or calculators.
These keys control the arming or disarming of the system,
and perform other functions which were previously
described in this manual.
ZONE: A specific area of protection.
An independent group of zones that can be armed and
disarmed without affecting other zones or users.
BYPASS: To disarm a specific area of burglary protection while
leaving other areas operational.
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 manual.
An area of protection whose violation causes a trouble
indication during the disarmed (DAY) mode and an alarm
during the armed (NIGHT) mode.
