SILENT CONDITION:
Most types of alarms and troubles alert you with the
keypad sounder and the sirens, horns, or speakers located in your premises.
The intent is to advise you of the alarm or trouble and allow you to respond
promptly. The audible sounds also let an intruder know that he has been
detected and will hopefully scare him away. In some circumstances, an audible
alarm might put your life in danger. For that reason, those alarms are
programmed as silent conditions. For an example, see DURESS.
SYSTEM:
Your security system is composed of three main parts: 1) the control
panel, which functions as the system brain and the link to the monitoring
agency (central station); 2) the keypad(s), which provide you with system status
and allow you to input commands; 3) security sensors such as door and window
contacts, motion sensors, smoke detectors and other sensors as required to
detect intrusion, fire, and other conditions for your premises.
USER CODE:
A user code is a 4-digit code that is required to operate the
system. The system supports up to 64 separate user codes. The system supports
one master user who can add/delete other user codes. Two of the user codes
may be dedicated to special functions as defined by your alarm company at the
time of installation. (See the User Code List in the back of this manual)
ZONE:
A zone is a collection of sensors with common characteristics grouped
together for your operating convenience. The system will support 6 zones or
groupings.
