Definition
(Data Gathering Panel) A device that collects data from other security devices within an area, and
transfers it to the main control panel or 4-door DGP.
An electronic device that allows the system to transmit alarms and other events to a central station. It
can also be used to perform up/download.
The condition of an occupied area when the security system has been set so that normal activity does
not set off an alarm.
A magnetic contact used to detect if a door or window is opened.
The control over door functions.
A feature that assigns a group of doors to a user, in order to allow the user access to those doors.
Access to each door in a group can be restricted via a time zone.
A security device based on two techniques, such as PIR and RADAR or PIR and Ultrasonic, used to
detect intruders in an area or premise.
When a user is being forced to breach the system security (e.g. forced at gunpoint to open the door),
the duress feature allows the user to signal a central station by entering a duress digit in conjunction
with a PIN code.
Installer employee qualified to install and service the control panel.
A signal activated by a zone input condition, area condition, system status or fault condition, door
command (on doors 1 to 16), or shunt condition. The main purpose of an event flag is to activate an
output.
A list of past alarm and access control events stored in memory that can be viewed on an LCD arming
station or sent to a printer.

(Light Emitting Diode) A light indicator on an arming station, which conveys a condition (e.g. area in
alarm, communication fault, etc).
An alarm that occurs in an occupied area and is signaled within a premise and not reported to a central
station.
A logic expression that combines macro inputs in a specific manner. The result of a logic equation is
called a macro output.
An event flag or an output that is used in a logic equation. Each macro input is an event flag or output.
A set of rules that is created by macro inputs, logic equations and macro outputs that is used to trigger
event flags or zone inputs.
A macro output holds the result of a logic equation. The macro output can have a timing element.
Macro outputs trigger event flags or zone inputs.
