Glossary 65
A condition which indicates that a system component is not working properly.
Some faults can jeopardize the performance of the entire system. Mains failure (230V
~),
telephone line-down and low battery are typical faults.
FAULT
A map is an graphic representation of part of the area supervised by the security system and
identified by an image file. The entire system can be represented by maps which can be
linked together.
Each map can contain objects represented by icons. These icons are capable of changing
status in accordance with the objects they represent and can operate as activation buttons
for specific functions.
The user, by means of access to a graphic map, can view the supervised area and also
access the security system functions.
An object can be:
• Partition
•Zone
•Output
•Map link
•Button
GRAPHIC MAP
A device which allows the control panel to make telephone calls over the GSM network and
also allows users to interact with the control panel over-the-phone or by means of SMS text
messages.
GSM DIALER
A proprietary 4-conductor bidirectional digital high-speed communication line used to
connect its peripherals to the control panel.
The 4 easily identifiable wires, on the control panel motherboard and on the expansions,
are:
• “+” power 12 Volt
• “D” data
• “S” data
• “-” Ground
I-BUS
The installer code is generally characterized by a PIN (4, 5 or 6 digits) through which the
installer, by entering it on a keypad or using in the software program (provided that all the
system partitions are disarmed) has access to the programming menu and can check and
change all the system parameters.
In accordance with EN 50131 grade 3 security, the installer code is a level 3 access code.
INSTALLER CODE
(ACCESS LEVEL 3)
List of system functions and respective parameters accessed via keypad.
This menu allows the installer to program, check and change nearly all of the system
parameters. The installer menu can be accessed from any keypad after entry of a valid
installer PIN, on condition that all the system partitions are disarmed, or can be accessed via
a PC equipped with the Prime software program.
INSTALLER MENU
A zone that monitors the inside of the protected building.
For example, the interior zones of an office building are the zones that monitor offices and
entrance points.
If a partition that a zone belongs to is armed in Stay mode, it will be unable to generate
alarms.
INTERIOR ZONE
A camera is an electronic instrument that records bidimensional images in sequence. It is part of
a camera surveillance system monitored by a intruder control panel.
The IP camera (or “webcam”) transmits video images to an URL address, for direct viewing or
for storage of the recorded material.
The Prime control panel manages the following types of IP cameras:
•static cameras
• cameras with Convict protocol, that allow user interaction thanks to remote control of the
lens (ZTL) and pre-programmed audio/video profiles
IP CAMERA
The isolators are peripherals that allow you to increase the extension and the functional
integrity of the BUS.
The functions they provide are:
• galvanic isolation of the entire BUS between input and output
• regeneration of the communication signals
• detection of operating anomalies towards the output branch
ISOLATOR
A portable control device (card or keyfob) which allows the authorized user to access the
system.
The key must be held in the vicinity of the reader in such a way to allow the system to read
it and permit access to authorized operations.
Each key is programmed with:
• A random code selected from over 4 billion possible combinations.
• A label (usually the name of the user).
• The partitions it controls (arms, disarms, etc.).
• A group of pre-set parameters which allow the key user to operate the system in accordance
with the authorized access level (for example, a key can be programmed to arm or disarm the
system only at certain times of the day).
KEY
This device allows users to access and control the system. Keypads can be connected to the
system via the I-BUS.
The keypad allows users to access and control the partitions which are common to both the
code and keypad in use. The user can arm/disarm partitions, view the status of the zones,
stop visual and audible signalling devices, etc.
KEYPAD
A generic magnetic-contact is a detector/sensor based on an magnet which, when placed
near the sensor, provokes the mechanical closure of an electrical contact.
