Entry Delay
A programmed delay of system alarm
response that allows you to enter an
armed area through the correct point
and disarm the area. If you don’t
disarm before the delay time expires,
the system begins an alarm response
which may include reports to the
central station.
Exit Delay
A programmed delay of system alarm
response that allows you to exit after
arming an area. If you exit after the
delay time expires, an alarm is
triggered. You must disarm the system.
If you don’t disarm before the delay
time expires, the system may begin an
alarm response (depending on if any
interior points were armed) that may
include reports to the central station.
Faulted
Point
A point that is not normal (a door or
window is open).
Force Arm
To turn on (arm) the security system
even though one or more points are
faulted. Force arming bypasses the
faulted points.
Idle Text
The security system displays idle text at
command centers when it is not
performing a user requested function.
Idle text shows the arming status of the
system.
Master Arm
To turn on (arm) both interior points
and perimeter points.
Menu
A list of functions you execute from a
command center.
Opening
Report
A report your system can be
programmed to send to the central
station indicating that an area has been
disarmed. Opening and closing reports
are commonly used by commercial
accounts.
Perimeter
Arm
An arming command that arms only
the perimeter points.
