LED
(Light Emitting Diode). A visual indicator on an arming station which conveys a condition, for
example,; area in alarm, communication fault, etc.
Local alarm
An alarm that is signalled only within a premise and occurs when an area is occupied. The
circumstances that cause a local alarm can be checked and rectified by personnel on site and it
is therefore unnecessary for the alarm to be reported to a central station.
Normal/Active/Tamper
/Inhibited
Describes the condition of a zone.
•
Normal: The zone is NOT activated. For example, Fire Exit Door closed
•
Active: The zone is activated. For example, Fire Exit Door open
•
Tamper: The zone is open or short-circuited. Someone may have tried to tamper the
security device.
•
Inhibited: The zone has been inhibited from indicating normal or active status. It is
excluded from functioning as part of the system.
Nuisance alarm
An alarm that is triggered by a security device, without any burglar. Could be caused by open
windows, pets or incorrect projection of security equipment.
PIN code
A 4-10 digit number given to, or selected by, a user. It is necessary to enter a PIN code on an
Advisor MASTER keypad as a pre-requisite to perform most Advisor MASTER functions. In the
Advisor MASTER programming, the PIN code is associated with a user number which identifies
the PIN code holder to the system.
RAS
Remote Arming Station. See Arming station.
Reader
A device used for access control that can read cards to allow access. Depending on the needs
and the type of cards, the reader can for example be a magnetic swipe reader or proximity
reader.
Tamper
A situation where a zone, an arming station, control panel, DGP or associated wiring are
tampered with, or accidentally damaged. The Advisor MASTER tamper facility activates a signal
when tamper occurs.
Tamper alarms from zones are called zone tampers.
Timezone
A program setting which identifies specific time periods on specific days. Timezones are allocated
to Advisor MASTER functions to control the activity of that function by time and day and are
primary used to restrict access. Example: automatically arm or disarm areas or open doors.
User
Anybody making use of the Advisor MASTER system. A unique number that is associated with the
user’s PIN code identifies users to the ADVISOR MASTER system.
Zone
An electrical signal from a security device (PIR detector, door contact) to the Advisor MASTER
system. A zone number and name identify each device. Example: 14 Reception Hold-up Button, 6
Fire Exit Door.
