Term Description
24-hour zone A monitored input where tamper switches and emergency switches can be
connected. If one of these switches is violated at any time (whether the system is
armed or disarmed), an alarm is reported.
alarm condition The status when an alarm system is armed and one of the detection devices is
violated. A 24-Hour zone (for example, a smoke detector) can activate when the
system is armed or disarmed.
answering machine
bypass
A condition that enables connection with the control panel for remote arming or
remote programming operations when there is an answering machine or facsimile
machine on the same telephone line.
Armed (System ON) A status in which the system is ready to accept alarms.
automatic arming Programming that allows the system to arm automatically at the same time each day
in AWAY Mode or STAY Mode 1.
automatic disarming Programming that allows the system to disarm automatically at the same time each
day in AWAY Mode or STAY Mode 1.
AWAY Mode The mode used to arm your system when you leave your premises.
codepad A device that allows you to perform all functions such as arming, disarming, and
programming of your alarm system.
day alarm Programming that allows a combination of zones to be monitored while the system
is disarmed.
detector A unit installed as a satellite component in a security system designed to detect an
intruder within a protected area. Some common forms of detection devices are
passive infrared, smoke, photo electric beams, reed switches, and vibration sensors.
disarmed A system status that does not accept alarms, except for 24-hour zones.
dynamic battery
testing
A method used to monitor and test the condition of your backup battery.
entry delay A programmed delay of the system alarm responses that allows a person to enter a
building through the entry door to turn the system off.
external equipment Any device connected to a security system, such as a detector, codepad, or siren.
force arming A method of overriding the safety feature that prevents arming with a faulted zone
on a control panel.
hand-over delay If a system is armed and Zone 1 is violated, the entry delay starts timing. If Zone 2 is
violated, the entry delay time is handed over to the Zone 2 and so on, to Zones 3
and 4. This is known as sequential hand-over delay.
hand-held radio
remote control
A device used to arm and disarm a security system or to cause a panic alarm.
isolate A method of manually disabling (isolating) one or more zones before arming the
system.
master code A numeric code used for arming and disarming the system, and for allowing access
to all functions available through the codepad.
monitoring station A secure location where a digital receiver monitors a number of alarm systems and
deciphers their alarm transmission reports so the operator can advise the
appropriate authorities to take immediate action.
panic A condition or type of alarm in which the user requires either immediate police or
medical assistance.
sealed Refers to a zone’s status. If a zone is sealed, the detection devices are not violated
and the zone indicator is not lit (that is, a reed switch is closed or a detector is on
standby waiting for an intrusion).
