Glossary
The following terms are used throughout the manual.
ARM/DISARM:
"Armed" simply means that the burglary portion of your system
is turned ON and is in a state of readiness. "Disarmed" means
that the burglary system is turned OFF, and must be re-armed
to become operational. However, even in a "disarmed" state,
"emergency" and "fire" portions of your system are still
operational.
KEYPAD:
This is the area on your keypad containing numbered
pushbuttons similar to those on telephones or calculators. These
keys control the arming and disarming of the system, and
perform other functions described in this manual.
ZONE:
A specific area of protection.
BYPASS:
To disarm a specific area of burglary protection while leaving
other areas operational.
DELAY ZONE:
An area of protection containing doors most frequently used to
enter or exit (typically, a front door, back door, or door from the
garage into the building). The delay zone allows sufficient time
for authorized entry or exit without causing an alarm. Consult
your installer for the entry and exit delay times that have been
set for your system during installation, and record them in the
space provided in “Entry/exit delays.”
DAY/NIGHT ZONE:
An area of protection whose violation causes a trouble indication
during the disarmed (DAY) mode and an alarm during the
armed (NIGHT) mode.
