Understanding Security System Terms
Entry or Exit loop
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 this loop 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 code number to disarm the system or an alarm will occur.
Instant Loop
Exterior windows and non entry doors, or interior protection devices,
are typically not programmed with delay times. If these loops are
faulted while the system is armed, an alarm occurs instantly.
24 Hour Loop
A 24 hour loop is never assigned to an area and is not turned on or
off by arming or disarming your system. Some examples of 24 hour
loops are: fire loops, panic loops, and temperature control loops.
Areas
An area is made up of burglary loops that can be armed or disarmed
together. One area might consist of the garage doors and windows.
When you arm the garage, these loops sound an alarm if faulted.
Central Station Monitoring
Your system can also be programmed to automatically send alarm,
trouble, and arming and disarming reports to a central station.
Operators at the central station can in turn dispatch the appropriate
authorities or contact you with the specific event information.
Introduction
Status
Status is a feature that automatically displays the armed or disarmed
status of your system on the Security Command keypads. Alarm or
trouble conditions on a loop or a system monitor such as AC or battery
trouble can also be displayed. There are two types of status information
available: Armed Status and Status List.
Armed Status
With Armed Status, the keypad displays the current armed condition
of areas within your security system. For example:
When you arm areas 1 to 4, the keypad shows =
1 2 3 4
When you arm areas 1 and 3, the keypad shows = 1
3
If your system is setup as an All/Perimeter or Home/Away system and
both the interior and perimeter is armed the display reads:
SYSTEM ON
Status List
The keypad Status List displays any alarm or trouble condition on a
loop, and any trouble condition on an internal system monitor. The
system monitors include the AC power, battery power, panel box
tamper, printer, and phone lines. If more than one alarm or trouble
condition occurs at the same time, the keypad sequences this
information on its display.
If the alarm is from a 24 hour loop or a system monitor, it remains in
the Status List until it restores. If one or more armed burglary loops
trip at the same time, the last one to trip remains in the Status List. This
is to ensure that if a burglary has occurred the last loop tripped
remains displayed even if it has been restored.
