Technical terminology and Glossary
User’s Manual
Under normal circumstances, the mains power supply (230Vac) 50 Hz (110V a.c. 60Hz in some
countries).
Usually connected to a switching power supply or transformer (depending on the model) that
provides the stabilized voltage to the system and the charge source to the batteries.
PRIMARY POWER
SOURCE
This device allows users to access and control the system. The system readers are connected to
the control panel via the I-BUS.
The key (TAG) allows the user to activate shortcuts (refer to Shortcuts) and arm/disarm the
partitions which are common to both the key (TAG) and reader in use. The key (TAG) must be
held in the vicinity of the reader in such a way to allow the system to read it and permit access
to authorized operations. Although readers provide a more limited access to the system, they
are easiest way of carrying out day-to-day operations (arm, disarm, etc.).
READER
(NBY)
A pre-set arming configuration which applies various operating modes to the system partitions.
SCENARIO
The shortcuts allow quick access to User Menu options which normally require several step-by-
step operations.
SHORTCUTS
The “supervision time” is the interval during which the wireless-system devices (in general
wireless detectors in permanent placements) must signal to the control panel that they are
operating in the network. If a wireless device fails to signal before the “supervision time”
expires, it will be classified as “Lost” and the control panel will trigger a “peripheral-loss” fault
event.
SUPERVISION
Detection of a serious condition that jeopardizes the operating capacity of the device concerned
and thus puts the system at risk.
Tamper conditions are detected by tamper switches connected to the system zones, keypads,
readers, expansions and control panel. Generally, these events are triggered by system
violation such as unauthorized opening of a keypad cover.
TAMPER
These are calls sent to programmed contact numbers when specific events start and end
(restoral).
TELEPHONE ACTIONS
This is a service provided by the installer company. The installer company requires the user's
collaboration and authorization before opening a teleservice session and working on the system
via telephone line.
TELESERVICE
A zone with this attribute cannot generate alarms (activate audible and visual signaling
devices). However, any alarm events that occur will be saved to the events memory.
If zones are not operating properly, the “Test” option will allow the installer to check them
without the risk of generating false alarms
TEST ZONE
A logical entity for automatic time-management of programmed peripherals or elements.
SmartLiving control panels provide 10 timers.
TIMER
Transceiver-equipped devices
In two-way wireless systems, all the devices are equipped with transceivers. In one-way
wireless systems, the main unit is equipped with a receiver module whereas the peripheral
devices are equipped with transmitters.
TRANSCEIVER
Each code is programmed with:
•
A 4, 5 or 6 digit PIN which allows access the system.
•
A label which identifies the user (usually the user's name).
•
The group of partitions it controls (arms, disarms, etc.).
•
A group of pre-set parameters which allow the operator to work on the system in accordance
with its authorized access level (for example, a code can be enabled to consult the events
log but not to change the date and time).
USER CODE
List of functions available to the user after valid code entry at a keypad.
USER MENU
This device allows the control panel to send voice calls to programmed contact numbers.
In SmartLiving control panels the voice dialer function is provided by the SmartLogos30M board
(accessory item).
VOICE DIALER
If the system is equipped with a SmartLogos30M voice board, each JOY/MAX keypad, in the
system configuration will allow users to record memos. Memos can be recorded, played, deleted
as required.
VOICE MEMO
An intrusion control system whose devices (detectors, keypads, keyfobs) communicate with the
control panel over radio waves.
Usually, only the control panel of wireless-systems is mains powered (220Va.c.) while, the
wireless devices are battery powered. The battery life is of utmost importance in the design
layout and operational capacity of these systems.
WIRELESS
An electrical input point used for the management/supervision of signals coming from an
intrusion detection device.
