Abus WIRELESS ALARM SYSTEM Operating Instructions Manual page 10

Utility output / switch output
In addition to the other sensors, you can control household appliances or lighting with
the ABUS wireless alarm system. This is done with relay/switch outputs. This
equipment can then be automatically switched on or off from the ABUS wireless alarm
system. You can also operate the switch outputs manually from the alarm system or a
system operating panel.
Tamper
Every detector of your alarm system (sensor, alarm system, etc.) is protected by a so-
called tamper contact. Every time a detector is opened by an unauthorised person, an
alarm is triggered.
Fault report
Your system monitors itself. Any faults are displayed and stored in the event memory.
You can also have important fault events transmitted by telephone.
Partition
With the ABUS wireless alarm system, you can split up the complete alarm system into
up to three partitions. Each partition can then be operated as a separate system. Each
partition can be individually activated and deactivated – irrespective of the state of the
other partitions.
Telephone forwarding
With the ABUS wireless alarm system, you can transmit events, alarms and system
messages by telephone to a private number or command centre.
Zone
A zone consists of one or more detectors. It designates its surveillance area. In radio
alarm technology, only one detector is assigned to a zone. Zones are given different
properties according to the detector type. There are fire zones for smoke detectors
(always active), zones for motion sensors (active only if the system is armed), and zones
for the entrance/exit door (see "Entry and exit delay"). For more information about zone
types and their properties, see the installation instructions.
Zones that are ready to be activated are known as closed zones.
Zones that are not ready to be activated are known as open zones.
