14. Terms and definitions
Status
Alarm panel status: either armed or disarmed.
Sub-area
An alarm system can be divided into sub-areas (partitions), each of which functions separately as an individual
alarm system. Each sub-area (e.g. apartment, workshop) can be operated and configured separately and can
contain any number of zones/detectors.
Tampering, tampering protection, tamper
So that the alarm panel and its components when disarmed cannot be tampered with, each component
is monitored for tampering. If a detector is opened or a cable is cut, an alarm is ALWAYS triggered. The
components are usually protected by a cover contact (alarm when detector is opened) and an anti-removal
wall contact.
Technical damage
For example, water damage, escaped gas, etc. (Protection against these things is provided by special danger
detectors).
Telephone dialler
Device used to send alarm messages to an alarm panel via telephone (see AWAG, AWUG). Diallers can be
integrated in alarm panels already or added as additional components.
User guidance
Electronically guided help for operating the alarm panel.
User
Different users of the alarm system (e.g. owners, tenants) can be assigned separate rights and user codes.
Wired alarm system
Alarm system with detectors connected to the alarm panel via wires (good idea for new buildings and large
buildings).
Wired detector, wired detectors
Alarm and danger detectors that are connected via wire to the alarm panel.
Wired zone, wired alarm zone
Alarm zone monitored via one or more wired detectors (usually switched in series).
