Glossary (cont)
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.
