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 rearmed 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 or disarming of the system,
and perform other functions which were previously described in this manual.
ZONE: A specific area of protection.
PARTITION: An independent group of zones that can be armed and disarmed without affecting
other zones or users.
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 this manual on page 7.
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.
