38. GLOSSARY – APPENDIX 1
TERM DESCRIPTION
AC Alternating current is an electric current that reverses its direction of ow at regular intervals.
Actuator A mechanism of the switch or switch enclosure that operates the contacts.
Alarm Log Contains information about alarms that are currently active on the system or information about
alarms that have been raised and then resolved on the system. This log can be useful in analyzing
problems and trends in the system.
Ampere (A) The electrical rate of ow in a circuit.
Arming/Disarming A process of enabling/disabling system's security.
Backup battery The secondary power source of the system. In case of a main power failure, the backup battery will
take over.
Bell squawk If enabled, the siren/bell indicates the completed system arming and disarming process (except the
arming in STAY mode). After the system is successfully armed, the siren/bell will emit 2 short beeps
and 1 long beep after the system is disarmed. By default, the parameter is disabled.
Bypass/Activate Zone Zone bypassing allows the user to deactivate a violated zone and arm the system without restoring
the zone. If a bypassed zone is violated or restored during exit/entry delay, or when then system is
armed, it will be ignored. The zone will remain bypassed until the system is disarmed. Zones can only
be bypassed and activated when the system is not armed.
Circuit A complete path, or closed loop, that electricity requires to ow and do work.
Conrmation timeout Species the time in which a cross zone must be violated that the system could conrm alarm on
the associated zone.
Current An electrical rate of ow, measured in amperes.
DC Direct current is an electric current that ows in one direction.
Diagnostic Tool When using Eldes Conguration software, you may use an additional section of functions, that al-
lows to monitor real-time zones, view changes of peripheral devices, instantly congure necessary
options, for example, enabling/disabling PGM outputs, etc.
Eldes Cloud Services A cloud-based platform providing a user-friendly graphical interface intended for system status
monitoring and control.
Entry Delay Once the exit delay has expired, the system initiates the entry delay countdown if a Delay type zone
is violated. The countdown is indicated by short beeps emitted by keypad buzzer and by steady beep
emitted by system's buzzer. The indication is intended to advise the user that the system should be
disarmed. When the user presses/touches any key on the keypad during this delay, the buzzer of
the keypad will be silenced. If the system is disarmed before the entry delay expires, no alarm will be
caused. Default value is 15 seconds.
Event Log A list of system events that is uploaded from the device‘s memory to the conguration software for
further analysis. The system logs all information about system conguration, system actions and
info messages. By default, the parameter is enabled. The event log is of FIFO (rst in, rst out) type
that allows the system to automatically replace the oldest records with the latest ones.
Exit Delay A period of time intended for user to leave the secured area. The system begins the countdown
after the arming process initiation.
Fault A specic problem or error that prevents the system from working properly. The system comes
equipped with self-diagnostic feature allowing to indicate the presence of any system fault by the
keypad as well as by SMS text message notication to the listed user phone number.
Fuse An element or a protective mechanism, that is destroyed when excessive current ows through a
circuit, thereby protecting the circuit.
iButton key A unique 64-bit ID code containing chip enclosed in a stainless steel tab usually implemented in a
small plastic holder. ESIM384 system supports up to 16 iButton keys each holding a unique identity
code (ID), which is used for system arming and disarming.
Input The voltage, current, or power applied to an electrical circuit to produce a desired result.
