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.
Local System
A Local System is a system that has a
control panel that is not programmed
to call a monitoring service. It will sound
only local (on site) bells or sirens when
an intrusion or fire alarm is detected.
Monitored System
A Monitored System is a system that
uses phone lines to notify a monitoring
service of programmed abnormal
events such as burglar or fire alarms.
Partition
A Partition exists when the system is
divided up into 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 areas
or Partitions. Keypads within a Partition
can interact with only that Partition.
Partitioning
Partitioning divides the system into 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 areas or partitions.
This allows the system to act as 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 separate systems.
Zone
A Zone is an input to the control panel.
There are eight hard-wired zones on
the control panel and additional zones
may be added. A zone is usually some
type of detection device whether it be
designed for burglar or fire.
Zone Bypassing
Zone Bypassing is a way of arming the
system by deliberately eliminating
zones to be armed.
Zone Function
A Zone Function is the description of
how a zone behaves in the system.
Zone Functions usually define how a
zone will respond when armed or when
it detects an alarm.
