Glossary
The following terminology will be helpful in operating your Security
System.
Arm/Disarm
ARMING indicates that the burglary portion of your Security System
has been turned on. DISARMED indicates that the burglary portion
has been turned off. The FIRE protection and emergency portions, if
present in your system, remain active at all times.
Bypass
Allows certain burglary zones to be disarmed while the remainder of
the system remains armed. For example, a bypass would allow you to
arm your system while a window is still open.
Central Station
Your Security System has built in capability to transmit alarm and
emergency signals over your telephone line to a Central Station. The
Central Station processes the signals from your system and takes the
appropriate action. If your Security System has been connected to a
Central Station please contact your Installing Company for further
information.
Control Panel
The control panel is the brain of the Security System. All of the
protected areas and keypads are connected to the control panel, which
is contained in a metal enclosure and generally mounted in a hidden
secure location by your installer.
Entry/Exit Delay
Certain protected points of your location can be designated as
entry/exit zones. Delay times have been programmed into your system
allowing sufficient time to walk through your front door when
activating (ARMING) or deactivating (DISARMING) your Security
System.
