24-hour zone A monitored input where tamper switches and emergency switches can
be connected. If one of these switches is violated at any time (whether
the system is armed or disarmed), an alarm is reported.
alarm condition The status when an alarm system is armed and one of the detection
devices is violated. A 24-Hour zone (for example, a smoke detector) can
activate when the system is armed or disarmed.
answering machine
bypass
A condition that enables connection with the control panel for remote
arming or remote programming operations when there is an answering
machine or facsimile machine on the same telephone line.
Armed (System
ON)
A status in which the system is ready to accept alarms.
automatic arming Programming that allows the system to arm automatically at the same
time each day in AWAY Mode or STAY Mode 1.
automatic
disarming
Programming that allows the system to disarm automatically at the
same time each day in AWAY Mode or STAY Mode 1.
AWAY Mode The mode used to arm your system when you leave your premises.
codepad A device that allows you to perform all functions such as arming,
disarming, and programming of your alarm system.
day alarm Programming that allows a combination of zones to be monitored while
the system is disarmed.
detector A unit installed as a satellite component in a security system designed
to detect an intruder within a protected area. Some common forms of
detection devices are passive infrared, smoke, photo electric beams,
reed switches, and vibration sensors.

entry delay A programmed delay of the system alarm responses that allows a
person to enter a building through the entry door to turn the system off.
external equipment Any device connected to a security system, such as a detector,
codepad, or siren.
force arming A method of overriding the safety feature that prevents arming with a
faulted zone on a control panel.
hand-over delay If a system is armed and Zone 1 is violated, the entry delay starts
timing. If Zone 2 is violated, the entry delay time is handed over to the
Zone 2 and so on, to Zones 3 and 4. This is known as sequential hand-
over delay.
