Active intrusion protection
Even an attempt to break in is reported. This can be done
using alarm components that not only combine state-of-
the-art wireless technology with effective mechanical in-
trusion protection (mechatronic detectors), but also moni-
tor attempts to open a door or window using a lever via
innovative magnetic field sensors.
Arming, disarming
"Activation" of the alarm panel
– the panel triggers an
alarm if an intrusion is detected (e.g. a door is opened);
"deactivation" of the alarm panel
– the panel does not
trigger an alarm if an intrusion occurs. Danger detectors
are programmed differently: if smoke is detected, for ex-
ample, an alarm is triggered even if the alarm panel is
disarmed.
Alarm system
Common term for a burglar alarm system or danger
alarm system.
Alarm type
Alarm systems may have the following alarm types: inter-
nal, local, external or silent.
Sounder
Device that sends an alarm message acoustically (siren)
or visually (strobe). Even diallers are sounders.
Alarm sensor
Device that sends a message to the alarm panel when a
certain event occurs (e.g. movement, glass breakage, vi-
brations).
Alarm panel
The switching panel of the entire alarm system, which
processes all information, forwards it and responds as
necessary.
Alarm zone
A detector (wireless) or detector group (wired) is moni-
tored via each zone and can be programmed separately.
APN
Access Point Name
also “access point”, is the name of the
gateway be-
tween a backbone of a mobile wireless network (e.g.
GPRS , 3G or 4G ) and an external packet-based data
network, usually the public internet .
ATS
