GLOSSARY
Alarm - Dissuasion acoustic signal, emitted by a siren, when intrusion occurs
- Status of system when an intrusion occurs.
- Common name for an alarm system.
Area A set of devices which operate at the same time, associated with partial enablement
of the system.
Range The average life of a device's batteries, under normal use conditions.
Self-protection Also defined as self-surveillance. It is the function that surveys the system round-the-
clock against any sabotage act. Irrespective of whether the control unit is enabled or
disabled, if one of the system's elements is opened, or if the control unit is detached
from its support, the siren is immediately tripped.
To Delete, Deleting To acknowledge any information issued by the system, and eliminate it.
procedure
Transmitter A transmitter makes it possible to signal an alarm by telephone, thanks to a voice
message.
Confirmation An acoustic signal from the control unit indicating modifications to the ON / OFF status
and correct reception of the radio transmissions during the tests.
Parameter Used for defining the type of signal (sirens, …).
Radio Range The distance at which a device in a radio system (remote-control, detector, siren,
transmitter, etc.) is able to dialogue with another radio device, without any problems
of understanding the exchanged data.
Reading request Reporting with attenuated acoustic signals and flashing indicator lights, prompting the
user - when the alarm is disabled - to read the event stored in the control unit's
memory.
Signal, signalling The function performed by the control unit after every alarm detection in the installed
system. This signal can be acoustic (siren), telephone (transmitter), or electric
(command of electric equipment, to simulate a presence in a protected room).
Supervision Surveillance by the control unit of all the sensitive elements in your system to detect
any trouble, fault or malfunction of the system in protecting the rooms (e.g. sabotage
of protective or signalling elements).
Universal transmitter The magnetic opening contact can be used for connecting any released contact
(configurable by dip-switches). It thus becomes a universal transmitter.
