IDS 1632 User Manual 700-256-01I Issued March 2009
Glossary
Alarm Memory
This is the history of the most recent tampers and violations occurred the last time the system was
armed, as well as which zones were bypassed.
Arm
Arming the system sets the system into the ARMED mode. In this mode, violating a zone will activate an
alarm condition. If the system is programmed correctly, this will cause an appropriate reporting code to
be sent to the monitoring company.
Bypass
Bypassing deactivates a zone. When the panel is ARMED, violation of a bypassed zone will be ignored.
Disarm
Disarming deactivates the system. Fire, medical and panic functions remain active while the system is
disarmed.
Entry/Exit Zones
These are zones that you may pass through during the entry/exit delay period without triggering an alarm.
Their purpose is to provide a means by which you can exit after arming the system ā and a means of
getting to the panel to disarm it after gaining access to the premises. Generally the last exit point of the
building and the first entry point, this is the front door of the home / business premises, in most cases.
Follower Zone
A zone that may be temporarily violated during the Exit zone delay period or after violation of an Entry/Exit
zone. This allows the user (limited time) access to disarm the system, and sufficient time to exit before
arming comes into effect. A Follower zone will behave as per an Instant zone if violated prior to the
violation of an Entry/Exit zone.
Instant Zone
When the system is armed, violation of an Instant Zone will immediately cause an alarm condition to be
registered.
Master User
Master user status (by default attributed to the first User Code) enables this user to add new user codes
and alter the properties of codes already in use. Any user may be given Master User Status by selecting
the Master User option in the User Code Properties for that User.
Partition
A partition is a group of zones which may be armed and disarmed independently without affecting zones
or users assigned to other partitions. The IDS 1632 Alarm Panel may have been programmed by your
installer to have up to 8 partitions.
Stay Arm
This is an arming mode that allows for certain pre-programmed, STAY zones to be bypassed (temporarily
disabled) while the system is armed. If you arm the system and do not leave the premises within the exit
delay, the system will assume that you are remaining in the premises, and will stay arm.
Stay Arm and Go
Arming that allows the user to STAY ARM and leave the premises.
