Instant Zone; Central Station Monitoring - Digital Monitoring Products Canadian XR100 Series User Manual

Arming
Turns on the burglary protection in one or more areas of the
system. When armed, the system is able to sound alarm bells or
sirens and, if monitored, send alarm reports to a central station
when a burglary zone is tripped.
Fire, panic, and other 24-hour devices are always turned on and do
not need to be armed.

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 dispatch the appropriate
authorities or contact you with the specific event information.
Disarming
Turns off one or more areas of the system. When disarmed, the
system does NOT sound alarms or send alarm reports to a central
station when a burglary zone faults.
Fault
You may see the keypad display FRONT DOOR —FAULT. This means
that there is a problem with the front door, such as the door being
open when you are arming the system. If you see a —FAULT display,
attempt to correct the problem (in this case shut the door). After
the zone is in a normal state, you may arm the system. You may
also bypass the zone and then arm the system.
Zone
A zone refers to one or more protected openings (doors or
windows) or pro tection devices (motion or glassbreak detectors)
grouped together under the same zone name and number.
Often, similar devices in the same general location share the same
zone. For example, the windows on the east side of the premises
can all be grouped together in a zone named E. WINDOWS.
Introduction

Instant Zone

Interior protection devices and perimeter devices, such as exterior
windows, passive infrared detectors (PIR), and non entry doors,
are typically not programmed with delay times. If these zones are
tripped while the system is armed, an alarm instantly occurs.
24-hour Zone
A 24-hour zone is not turned on or off by arming or disarm ing your
system. Some examples of 24-hour zones are fire zones, panic
zones, and temperature control zones.
Entry or Exit zone
Almost all systems have one or more doors through which you can
access 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 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 occurs.
Status
Status is a feature that automatically displays the armed or
dis armed status of your system on the keypads. Alarm or trouble
con ditions on a zone or a system monitor such as AC or battery
trouble can also display. There are two types of status information
available: Armed Status and Status List.
