Understanding Security System Terms
Entry or Exit Zone
Almost all systems have one or more doors through which you
can enter or exit the premises. These doors are programmed
with a delay time to allow you to enter or exit while the system
is armed without setting off the alarm.
When you arm the system, activity on all burglary zones is ignored
until the programmed exit
delay time expires. Once that time
has expired and the system is fully armed, opening the door
causes the panel to start the
entry delay time. During the entry
delay time, you must enter a valid user code to disarm the system
or an alarm will occur.
Instant Zone
Exterior windows and non-entry doors, or interior protection
devices, are typically not programmed with delay times. If these
zones are faulted while the system is armed, an alarm occurs
instantly.
24-Hour Zone
A 24-hour zone is never assigned to an area and is not turned on
or off by arming or disarming your system. Some examples of 24-
hour zones are fire zones, panic zones, and temperature control
zones.
Areas
An area is made up of burglary zones that can be armed or
disarmed together. The Perimeter area, for example, consists of
all the doors and windows on the outside of the building. When
you arm the Perimeter, these zones sound an alarm if tripped.
Throughout this guide and in some displays on your keypad, you
will see certain words or phrases that might be unfamiliar. Although
every effort has been made to use terms that are commonly
known, there are some for which there is no acceptable
substitute. Some common terms are discussed below.
Arming
This is the term used for turning on the burglary protection in
one or more areas of the system. Your system may require you
to enter a user code. When armed, the system is able to sound
alarm bells or sirens and, if monitored, send alarm reports to a
central station when a burglary zone is faulted.
Fire, panic, and other 24-hour devices are always turned on and
do not need to be armed.
Disarming
This means turning off one or more areas of the system. When
disarmed, the system does NOT sound alarms or send alarm reports
to a central station when a burglary zone is faulted.
Zone
A zone refers to a group of one or more protected openings or
protection devices assigned the same zone number. Each door
or window, motion detector, smoke detector, or other device
has a zone number and a name.
Often, similar devices in the same general area will share the
same zone. For example, the windows on the east side of the
premises can all be grouped together in a zone named
E.
