Terms Used
Certain terms used to describe features and operation of the system may be unfamiliar,
the principal ones are as follows:
DAY MODE
The 'normal' state of the alarm system whilst the premises
are occupied, and the alarm switched 'OFF.' 'Personal
Attack' facilities remain functional, and the system will
continue to monitor itself for evidence of tampering. Also
known as 'UNSET' or 'OPEN'
SWITCH ON
The action of activating, or 'SETTING' the alarm system,
whether by use of the keypad or keyswitch.
SET
The condition of the alarm system when armed, after the
switching on process has been completed - ie after the
completion of the exit time. Also known as 'CLOSED.'
FULL SET
The condition of the alarm when the entire system is set
PART SET
The condition of the alarm system when a pre-programmed
portion of the system is not armed - for example when
setting the system at night whilst still in the premises.
Two separate Part Setting areas are available.
EXIT TIME
The time delay permitted after switching the system on
and before it becomes armed - during which you must
leave the premises, and close the final exit door.
ENTRY TIME
The time delay permitted by the system after entering by
the authorised route, and during which the system must be
switched off, or an alarm will sound.
ENTRY-EXIT ROUTE
The portion of the alarm system linked to the Exit and
Entry timers, through which exit and entry must be made.
ZONE or CIRCUIT
A division of the system which is separately identified in
the indications at the control.
ZONE or CIRCUIT
FAULT
Condition of one of the zones when one (or more)
detectors are not clear, thus preventing the system from
being 'set' - eg a door left open.
ZONE OMISSION
The facility to disable an individual zone (or zones) whilst
setting the system
SYSTEM FAULT
An incorrect electrical condition which may impair the
correct operation of the system - refer to these instructions
for action required.
