Alarm Memory
This is the history of the most recent events that occurred the last time the system was armed.
Arm
Arming the system sets the system into the ARMED mode. In this mode, violating a zone will activate an
alarm condition. If the system is programmed correctly, this will cause the appropriate reporting code to be
sent to the monitoring company.
Bypass
Bypassing deactivates a zone. When the panel is ARMED, violation of a bypassed zone will be ignored.
Disarm
Disarming the system sets the system into the DISARMED mode. Fire, medical and panic functions remain
active while the system is disarmed.
Entry/Exit Zones
These are zones that you pass through during the entry/exit delay period without triggering an alarm. Their
purpose is to provide a means by which you can exit after arming the system – and a means of getting to the
keypad to disarm after gaining access to the premises.
Follower Zone
A zone that may be violated during the Exit Zone delay period or after a violation of an Entry/Exit zone. This
allows the user (limited time) access to disarm the system, and sufficient time to exit before arming comes
into effect. A Follower zone will behave as per an Instant zone if violated prior to the violation of an
Entry/Exit zone.
Instant Zone
When the system is armed, violation of an Instant Zone will immediately cause an alarm condition to be
registered.
Partition
A partition is a group of zones that may be armed and disarmed independently without affecting zones or
users assigned to other partitions. The Alarm Panel may have been programmed by your installer to have up
to 8 partitions. Typically, a guest cottage appended to a main house may be partition 2, and the main house
partition 1.
Stay Arm
This is an arming mode that allows certain pre-programmed, Stay zones to be bypassed (temporarily
disabled) while the system is armed. If you arm the system and do not leave the premises within the exit
delay, the system will assume that you are staying home and will stay arm.
Stay Arm and Go
Arming that allows the user to Stay arm and leave the premises.
Stay Zone
A zone that is bypassed automatically when the system is Stay armed.
Violate
A zone is “violated” when a sensor connected to a zone input registers a door opening, a window opening,
somebody moving in the room, or glass breaking – depending on the sensor for that zone.
Zone
A zone is a specific area of your premises monitored by a sensor that detects violations (doors/windows
opening or people moving) in that area.
