SOME DEFINITIONS
There are a few terms with which you should
become familiar. Knowing them will help you to
better understand and use your system
Zone
A single detector, or group of detectors, usually
relating to a certain area of the premises or type of
protection. Zones that use devices designed to
detect break-ins are called intrusion zones.
Another kind of zone may contain one or more
Smoke Detectors. Such zones are called fire
zones. An environmental zone typically protects
the premises from gas leaks and/or flooding.
24-Hour Zone
A 24-Hour intrusion zone is always armed and is
usually assigned to openings, which should never
be disturbed-like fixed glass and non-movable
skylights.
Central Stations
Your system is set up to report alarms to a
Central Station–a facility which continually
monitors the activities of many security systems,
usually via the telephone network, and dispatch the
proper authorities.
Chimes
The chime is a series of short keypad tones, which
can be set up to annunciate, during the disarmed
period, the violation of selected intrusion zone(s).
The chime tone can be used to annunciate the
arrival of a customer each time the front door
opens. The chime can be disabled or enabled at
your discretion.
Trouble Reporting
If desired, your security system may also report to
the Central Station any troubles or malfunctions it
senses, so that a service call can be made.
Utility Outputs
In addition to your system's normal operation, it's
possible to place a household appliance or
premises lighting under the control of the ORBIT-
PRO where it can be conveniently turned on and
off automatically, or by User command from any
system keypad
Key-switch
Your system may also be equipped with a
keyswitch, useful for simple arming and disarming
operations - usually at a remote location.
Arming
Your System
Arming your system enables its intrusion
detectors to trigger an alarm when violated.
Remember, fire protection and the protection
offered by the keypad's emergency keys are
always armed and always available
