4.10 Glossary
24-Hour Zone:
Zones that are always on even when the system is turned off. Two types: Fire Zones and Non-Fire
Zones.
Account Number:
The account number is the number the control panel transmits to the ARC receiver. It is not the
Personal Identification Number (PIN). The account number is not sufficient identification to abort
an alarm.
Address:
Once the installer selects a value for a parameter, the control panel stores the selection in memory.
Each parameter uses one or more Addresses. When programming from the keypad, the installer
enters a selection directly into the memory Address(es). When programming from the remote
programmer, the installer need only make one entry per parameter.
All On:
All zones are armed. All On with No Entry (Instant) is an option.
Area (Partition):
An installer-specified collection of zones that can be armed and disarmed independently. An Area
can report with its own account number. Opening, closing, alarm, trouble and restoral reports are
all associated with an Area. You can organize the control panel’s zones and users into independent
areas, in essence creating independent systems with a single control panel.
ARC:
A
larm
R
eceiving
C
enter. A facility where trained personnel monitor a security system 24 hours a
day. The security system might be programmed to contact the ARC during alarm conditions,
enabling ARC personnel to dispatch the proper authorities.
Authority Level:
A programmable feature that determines which functions a user can perform in a specified Area.
Burg Alarm Tone:
A constant warble tone.
Bypass:
To selectively remove zones temporarily from the system.
Checksum:
A method of checking accuracy of transmitted information. A number representing the total number
of bits of information transmitted is included with the transmission. The microprocessor counts the
bits of information received and compares its sum to the transmitted checksum number. If the
numbers do not match, the transmission is in error.
Cross Zone:
Two zones that are configured to initiate an alarm when both zones have been faulted. 24-Hour
Door and 24-Hour Fire with Alarm Verification zones cannot be set for Cross Zone configuration.
DACM:
Door Access Control Module.
Data Digit:
Selections for data range from 0 to 15 (16 selections total). The programming selection made at
each parameter is the
Data Digit
. For many programming parameters, there are less than 16
choices. To properly enter a data digit that is only one digit in length, press the appropriate number
key on the keypad, or press [0] followed by the appropriate number key. Then press [*] to enter
your choice into the system. For example, [4][*] and [0][4][*] are the same entry.
Duress PIN:
A PIN that arms and disarms the system just like a user PIN does, however it also sends an alarm
signal to the ARC without sounding an alarm on the premises.
Entry Delay:
A programmed delay of the system alarm responses that allow a person to enter the building
through the Entry door to turn the system off. An alarm response begins if the control panel is not
disarmed before Entry Delay expires.
Error Tone:
The same warble tone as the Trouble tone, but not repeated.
Faulted Zone:
A zone that is not normal (for example, an open door or window).
Fire Alarm Tone:
A warble tone that is on for one second, then briefly off (repeatedly).
Follower Zone:
A zone programmed to initiate an instant alarm unless a Delay zone is faulted first. When a Delay
zone is faulted first, the Follower zone assumes the Entry Delay time of the Delay zone.
Force Arming:
A method of overriding the safety feature that prevents arming with a faulted zone on a control
panel.
Global:
Something that affects the entire system (for example, global zone configuration refers to the
programmable features that affect all zones).
Groups:
The programming parameters described in this manual are organized into groups. Most groups
primarily contain parameters that are related in some way. For example, the Authority Levels Group
contains parameters that configure the control panel’s four Authority Levels.
Handshake:
A signal sent by one end of the communications channel to the other indicating reception of signal.
Hold:
An instruction to press and hold a key to perform a function.
Instant Alarm:
A zone type that initiates an alarm immediately when faulted. This zone type does not follow any
Entry/Exit delay time.
Keyfob:
A small, hand-held wireless device usually designed to fit on a key chain. It consists of buttons that
allow the user to perform various functions, depending on the keyfob, such as arming/disarming
the system, operating outputs or sending reports.
