Remote Responder: A responder can be either a
professional service provider to which the home or
business owner subscribes (a central monitoring station)
or a family relation/friend who agrees to look after the
protected site during absence of its occupants. The control
panel reports events by telephone to both kinds of
responders.
Restore: When a detector reverts from the state of alarm
to the normal standby state, it is said to have been
"restored".
A motion detector restores automatically after detection of
movement, and becomes ready to detect again. This kind
of "restore" is not reported to the remote responders.
A magnetic contact detector restores only upon closure of
the protected door or window. This kind of "restore" is
reported to the remote responders.
Smoke Detector, Wireless: A regular smoke detector and
a wireless PowerCode transmitter in a shared housing.
Upon detection of smoke, the detector transmits its unique
identification code accompanied by an alarm signal and
22
various status signals to the control panel. Since the
smoke detector is linked to a special fire zone, a fire alarm
is initiated.
User Codes: The PowerMax is designed to obey your
commands, provided that they are preceded by a valid
security access code. Unauthorized people do not know
this code, so any attempt on their part to disarm or defeat
the system is bound to fail. Some operations, however,
can be carried out without a user code as they do not
degrade the security level of the alarm system.
Zone: A zone is an area within the protected site under
supervision of a specific detector. During programming,
the installer allows the control panel to learn the detector's
identity code and links it to the desired zone. Since the
zone is distinguished by number and name, the control
panel can report the zone status to the user and register in
its memory all the events reported by the zone detector.
Instant and delay zones are "on watch" only when the
control panel is armed, and other (24-hour zones) are "on
watch" regardless of whether the system is armed or not.
