Installation and programming manual
Technical terminology and Glossary 111
Connection of a zone to a terminal configured as an input.
It is necessary to program the balancing of each separate zone and wire the terminal accordingly.
The SmartLiving intrusion control panel provides 6 different types of balancing, as follows:
•Normally Open
•Normally Closed
•EOL
•DEOL
• Double zones (only terminals with DOUBLING configuration)
• Double zones with EOL (only for terminals with DOUBLING configuration)
DEOL and customized zones can discriminate 4 conditions:
• Short-circuit
• standby
•alarm
•tamper
If you observe the Events list, you will see that there is an alarm event for each zone and a
tamper event for each terminal. This is because a terminal configured as a double zone (or double
zone with EOL) must be able to discriminate between alarm and standby conditions on each single
zone, whereas tamper and short-circuit conditions involve the entire terminal and not the single
zone.
BALANCING
An output, that once activated, requires an explicit command to deactivate it.
Generally, bistable outputs are used to provide real-time event signalling. For example, if the
“Mains Failure” event is associated with a bistable output that is connected to a LED, the LED will
signal the event immediately.
BISTABLE OUTPUT
A bypassed (disabled) zone cannot generate alarms. Each zone can be bypassed/unbypassed
manually by the system users, or automatically by the control panel. Automatic bypass operations
can take place only when the zone is configured as “Auto-bypassable” and the conditions that
regulate auto-bypass operations are in effect (refer to Zone Attributes – Auto-bypassable).
Zone deactivation is useful when detectors are not working properly and you wish to avoid false
alarms. Under normal circumstances, bypassed (disabled) zones can still generate tamper events.
If you do not wish this to occur you must set the "Bypass Tamper" option on the control panel.
BYPASS - ZONE
DEACTIVATION
A list of outgoing event-associated calls the control panel must send to programmed contact
numbers.
Enabled users can clear the call queue manually.
CALL QUEUE
A zone with this attribute will generate “Chime on partition” events, if violated when the partitions
it belongs to are disarmed.
Keypads which have partitions in common with the chime zone will emit an audible signal when
the “Chime on partition” event occurs. If all the partitions the zone belongs to are armed, the
zone will operate as programmed. This function is widely used in commercial buildings (shops,
etc.), and is generally associated with the zone that monitors the entrance to the premises in
order to signal the arrival of customers.
CHIME ZONE
The Cloud is a web service that provides data storage space (“cloud storage”) that, by means of
any Internet connection, is accessible at any time and from any place. The data are then shared
over the network, along with the resources to process them (“cloud computing”) with all users
who have a valid access.
The Cloud provider guarantees therefore that the user has both the resources for the processing
and editing of data, and data synchronization that can be accessed and modified by multiple users
without the risk of being lost.
CLOUD
These are 4, 5 or 6 digit PINs which allow the building occupants (users) to access the system.
Each code can be programmed to control specific functions only, and to operate the system to suit
the requirements of the Main user.
Code types
• Installer code: used by the installer company technician
• User code: assigned to the building occupants
CODE
Activation of a zone with this configuration generates the command it is assigned to.
SmartLiving control panels manage the following commands:
• Disarm zone: if activated, it will disarm all the partitions it belongs to. Zones configured in this way
can be used to disarm partitions by means of a keyswitch.
• Arm zone: if activated, it will arm all the partitions it belongs to. For example, keyswitches are
usually configured as command zones.
• OnArm/OffDisarm zone: if activated, it will generate an arm-partitions command and, the instant
it restores to standby, a disarm-partitions command. The command will affect only the partitions the
zone belongs to. Zones configured in this way can be used to arm/disarm partitions by means of a
keyswitch.
• Switch zone: if activated when all the partitions it belongs to are disarmed, it will arm all the
partitions. If activated when even one of the partitions it belongs to is armed, it will disarm all of its
partitions. The command will affect only the partitions the zone belongs to. Zones configured in this
way can be used to arm/disarm partitions by means of a keyswitch.
• Patrol zone: if activated, it will have a patrol function in all the partitions it belongs to.
COMMAND ZONE
Telephone communication protocol (reporting format) for Alarm Receiving Centres using DTMF
tones. Messages transmitted in this protocol contain information regarding the reported events,
such as:
• user code (“account code”), the numeric identifier code of the caller
• class code, single digit numeric code that identifies the type of event
• event code, hexadecimal code comprising two characters that identify the event.
• “CCC”, a 3 digit numeric code that identifies the device that generated the event
This information is assigned automatically by the control panel or, alternatively, each one can be
programmed by the installer.
