Security System Basics
What is a Point?
A “point” is a detection device, or group of devices connected to your
security system. Points are identified by the area they monitor, such as
front door, bedroom window, or hallway. View the current status of
each point in your system through the keypad’s display.
What is a “Faulted” Point?
When a point (such as a door or window) is closed, it is said to be
“normal.” When the door or window is open, the point is said to be
“faulted,” or not normal. When you turn your system on, you usually
want all of the points in your system to be normal, although you can
turn your system on with faulted points by using the Bypass Points
procedure.
You can see whether there are faulted points by pressing [CLEAR] when
the system is off.
Are All Points the Same?
No. There are two basic types of points, Controlled and 24-hour.
