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

system during installation and record them on the separate sheet provided in this guide.
