Access Control PIN
An Access Control PIN is a special code
used to activate electric door locks or other
mechanisms connected to the control
panel that require this code to turn them
on or off.
Armed/Disarmed
Arming the system (burglar zones) means
to turn it on. Disarming the system means
to turn it off. Remember, fire protection (if
installed) is always Armed/on.
Central Station/Monitoring Service
A Central Station/Monitoring Service is a
facility used to continuously monitor phone
signals from your system. Trained
personnel there dispatch proper authorities
as necessary.
Common Area
A Common Area is an area that is
connected to another partition or all the
partitions. It may be used as a common
entry way to separate partitions. A Master
keypad would normally be found in the
Common Area. A Common Area is only
armed when all the partitions it is connected
to are armed. It is disarmed when at least
one of the partitions it is connected to is
disarmed.
Custom Arming
Custom Arming is a type of arming that uses
the [#] [4] sequence. It is only a valid
sequence if programmed by the installing
company. It is a specific type of arming
designed for your individual installation
needs. Ask your installing company to
explain Custom Arming further.
Disarming Command Sequence
The Disarming Command Sequence is the
sequence of keys you press at the keypad
to disarm the system and/or silence alarms.
It consists of your PIN followed by the
command (#) button.
Entry Delay
An Entry Delay is a predetermined amount
of time that allows entry into an armed area.
Exit Delay
An Exit Delay is a predetermined amount
of time that allows you to exit an area just
after you have armed it.
Faulted Zone
A Faulted Zone is a zone that is not ready
to arm (i.e. an open door or window). It may
also be described as being violated.
Force Arming
Force Arming is a way of arming the system
by bypassing zones that are not ready to
arm. This reduces the level of security and
should be avoided.
Installing Company
The Installing Company is the company that
physically installed the system. It may or
may not be the same company who
monitors the system.
