3 Points
3.1 What is a point?
The term point refers to a detection device, or group of devices
connected to your security system. Points show individually at
the keypad with their names. The point name can describe a
single door, motion sensor, smoke detector, or an area such as
Upstairs or Garage. There are two basic types of points,
controlled and 24-hour.
3.2 Controlled points
Controlled points respond to alarm conditions depending upon
whether the system is turned on (armed) or turned off
(disarmed). Controlled points are programmed to respond
instantly to alarm conditions or to provide a delay for you to
reach the keypad and turn your system off. There are two types
of controlled points, part points and interior points.
3.2.1 Part points
Part points often include the exterior doors and windows of the
building (the perimeter). When you turn your system Part On, you
only turn on (arm) the part points.
