Channel group A channel group is one or more destinations for event messages to
be sent to. When a message is sent to a channel group, it is sent to
all the channels that it contains. It forms the basis of multi-path
reporting.
Chime group All the zones that will activate chime, when in chime mode.
Chime mode An operational mode that will emit a ding-dong sound at the keypad
when specific zones are activated.
Closed
A zone in a normal state is “closed”. The security system monitors
each zone for changes in state from closed to open, and can respond
with certain actions such as sounding the siren. For example, a reed
switch on a front door may change from a closed state to an open
state when the door opens.
Communicator An electronic device that allows the control panel to transmit alarms
and other events to a central station. It sends event messages to the
specified destination including details such as where the event
originated from and the type of event. The receiver will then log the
time and date when it receives the event. For example, Alarm from
Zone 2 in Partition 1 at 3:00am on 5/5/2022 from Account 1234.
Control panel An electronic device that is used to gather all data from sensors in
the premises. Depending on programming and status of partitions, it
generates alarm signals. If required, alarms and other events can be
reported to the central station. It stores all programming, may provide
network or other connectivity options for reporting, provides physical
terminals for connecting power, backup battery, zones, siren, strobe,
outputs, and system bus for expansion devices.
Cursor A flashing underline character on the liquid crystal display (LCD) that
indicates where the next character entered on the keypad will
appear.
Disarm To turn your security system Off.
Disarmed The condition of a partition when it is occupied, and normal activity
does not set off an alarm.
DLO (Door Left Open) Door kept open for the time longer than configured.
Door contact A magnetic contact used to detect if a door or window is opened.
Door control The control of entry to, or exit from, a security area through doors.
Door group Door groups specify when access to a specific door is granted. Door
groups are assigned to users. Each Door group may have a different
time period (schedule) when access to the door may be granted.
Door shunt Prevents from generation of intrusion alarm if the door was opened
legitimately.
Dual Dual detector. A security device used to detect intruders in a certain
part of a partition or premises. The technique used is based on two
techniques like PIR and RADAR or PIR and Ultrasonic.
Duress A situation where a user is being forced to breach the system
security (for example, forced at gunpoint to open the door). The
security system duress facility allows a signal to be activated (for
example, notification to a central station) by the user. This is done by
entering a duress PIN.
Duress code A predetermined user PIN that will arm / disarm the security system
whilst sending a special code to the central monitoring station
indicating the user is entering / leaving the premises under duress.
Only applicable on monitored systems.
