TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY
AND GLOSSARY
Violation of a zone with this attribute will generate an instant alarm even when the partitions it
belongs to are disabled. The system will generate the respective alarms which will be shown on
the keypad.
These zones usually monitor conditions that are not directly connected to intrusion control. For
example, Water tank overflow and flooding detectors are usually configured as 24H zones.
If you are installing a fire detector, please remember that the inputs of SmartLiving control panels
are not compliant with EN 50131-1 and EN 50131-3.
24 HOUR ZONE
Detection of non-authorized entry into the protected building. More specifically, activation status
of detectors.
ALARM
A parameter generally associated with zones. This value determines the number of alarm events a
zone can generate before the partitions it belongs to disarm. This value (number of alarm events)
resets to zero when the zone partitions re-arm or reset.
If a zone is allowed to generate an unlimited number of alarm events, it is classified as a
“repetitive” zone.
ALARM CYCLES
In the event of:
•Zone Alarm
• terminal tamper
• open panel or dislodged panel
• peripheral tamper (keypads, expansions, readers)
• peripheral loss (keypads, expansions, readers)
•false key
The red LEDs on the system keypads and readers go On each time one of the previously-
mentioned events occur. This visual warning signal is held even after the event ends (alarm
memory), in order to warn you that an event occurred during your absence. This visual warning
signal will be held until you clear the event memory (refer to Delete Memory).
ALARM OR TAMPER
MEMORY
This is a private service that monitors premises protected by intrusion control systems equipped
with digital communicators or voice dialers.
Alarm Receiving Centres receive alarm reports from monitored systems and take all the necessary
actions to protect the occupants of the protected premises.
ALARM RECEIVING
CENTRE (ARC)
The “Answerphone” function, if enabled by the user, allows the control panel to answer incoming
calls after a pre-set number of rings. The control panel will pick-up and play the recorded answer
message.
During the call, the recipient can type-in a valid PIN (enabled for over-the-phone control) and
access the authorized functions.
ANSWERPHONE
User operations on one or more partitions. These generally indicate also the status of the
partitions. Under normal circumstances, the zones of armed partitions can generate alarms.
Under normal circumstances, the zones of disarmed partitions cannot generate alarms. The
system generates tamper alarms even when partitions are disarmed.
ARM/DISARM
You can enable/disable the Auto-arm function on each separate partition.
If the auto-arm option is enabled on a timer-controlled partition, the partition will arm/disarm in
accordance with the ON/OFF settings of the timer.
AUTO-ARM
A zone with this attribute will be bypassed automatically by the control panel, if the partition it
belongs to arms when the zone is not in standby status.
The zone will be unbypassed automatically when it restores to standby or when the partition it
belongs to is disarms.
AUTO-BYPASSABLE
ZONES
These zones operate in the same way as 24h zones, but do not generate partition alarms or visual
signals on the system reader and keypad LEDs.
Zones configured in this way can be used for automation applications.
AUTOMATION ZONE
This is the secondary power source of the system. If primary (230 Vac) power failure occurs, the
battery will take over.
SmartLiving control panels use sealed lead batteries. The battery housing determines the
maximum size of the battery and therefore, its power-storage capacity. SmartLiving control
panels can be equipped with lead batteries @12V 7, 9 or 17Ah. The control panel monitors the
battery continuously and keeps it is under constant charge (from Mains).
