Term Description
24-Hour Zones A monitored input programmed to trigger an alarm condition when violated when the
system is armed or disarmed 24 hours a day.
Alarm Condition Occurs when your alarm system is armed and one of the detection devices was violated.
A 24-hr. zone (such as a smoke detector) can activate an alarm condition when your
system is armed or disarmed.
Answering Machine
Bypass
Answering machine bypass was incorporated. It is possible to make a connection with
the system for remote arming operations when there is an answering machine or
facsimile machine on the same telephone line.
Area Codepad Used only when the system is partitioned into two separate areas. All operations at the
area codepad do not affect the other area.
Armed When the system is in a ready state to accept alarms.
Automatic Arming This feature allows the system to automatically arm at the same time every day in AWAY
Mode or STAY Mode 1.
Automatic Disarming This feature allows the system to automatically disarm at the same time every day.
AWAY Mode The mode used to arm your system when you leave your premises.
Codepad The codepad allows you to arm/disarm the system and carry out other functions such as
adding and deleting system user codes.
Day Alarm This feature allows a combination of zones to be monitored while the system is disarmed.
Detectors Devices connected to your alarm system used to detect intrusion and cause an alarm
condition. Some forms of detection devices include, passive infrared (PIR), smoke
detectors, photoelectric beams, reed switches, and vibration sensors.
Disarmed Your system is in a state that does not accept alarms except on zones programmed for
24-hr. operation.
Dynamic Battery
Testing
A feature used to monitor and test the condition of your back-up battery.
Entry Time/
Entry Delay
The time allowed after entering your premises by a zone programmed for delayed
operation so that you can disarm the system.
Exit Time The time allowed after arming the system to exit the premises without causing an alarm.
External Equipment Any device connected to your system such as detectors, codepads, and sirens.
Forced Arming A situation where your alarm system is permitted to be armed when one or more zones
are unsealed.
Handover Delay Your system is armed and a zone programmed for delay was violated. The delay zone
hand overs the remaining delay time to a zone programmed as handover. The handover
zone does not activate an alarm until the remaining delay time expires. A handover zone
acts as an instant zone if violated before the delay zone.
Hand Held Remote
Control
Used to remotely operate your system by hand held transmitters.
Isolating Manually disables (isolates) one or more zones before arming the system.
Master Code A numerical code used for arming and disarming the system, as well as allowing access
to functions such as adding and deleting user codes.
Master Partitioned
Codepad
Codepad only used if your system is partitioned (CC488 only). The codepad allows you
to view and operate both areas from the same codepad.
Monitoring Station A secure location where a digital receiver monitors numerous alarm systems and
deciphers their Alarm Transmission Reports. The operator can advise the appropriate
authorities to take immediate action.
Panic Alarm This type of alarm indicates to the monitoring station that there is an emergency situation
at your premises.
