ZeroWire Reference Guide 13
Glossary
An action allows the ZeroWire to perform automation functions. These can monitor
the status up to 4 input conditions called Action Events, change state (Action State),
and perform a function (Action Result) such as arming a range of areas.
An action group is one or more actions that can be accessed by a device or user.
They are assigned to a user or device via permissions.
Zones are grouped into areas which can be secured independently from each other.
This allows you to split your security system in to smaller components that can be
separately managed. For example your system can be divided into an upstairs area
and downstairs area.
An area group is one or more areas that can be accessed by a device or user. They
are assigned to a user or device via permissions.
To turn your security system On.
Automatically arm and disarm areas by a specific user according to a specified
schedule. The areas armed and disarmed will be the ones that the user has access
to via their permissions.
To turn your security system on when you are leaving the premises.
Zones can be temporarily disabled so they will not be monitored by the security
system. For example, an interior door is left open, bypass it to temporarily ignore it
and allow arming of the security system. Bypassed zones are not capable of
activating an alarm. Zones will return to normal operation when the system is armed
then disarmed. This prevents unintentional permanent disabling of a zone.
A company to which alarm signals are sent during an alarm report. Also known as
Central Monitoring Station (CMS).
A channel is a communication path for events to be sent from the ZeroWire panel to
a selected destination. Channels can be set to UltraSync or Email.
A channel has an associated event list which contains the events it is allowed to
forward on.
A channel group is one or more destinations for event messages to be sent to.
When a message is sent to a channel group, it is sent to all the channels that it
contains. It forms the basis of multi-path reporting in ZeroWire.
All the zones that will activate chime, when in chime mode.
An operational mode that will emit a ding-dong sound at the keypad when specific
zones are activated.
The communicator is responsible for notifying a control room or third party that an
alarm event has occurred so an appropriate response can be made.
It sends event messages to the specified destination including details such as where
the event originated from and the type of event. The receiver will then log the time
and date when it receives the event. For example, Alarm from Zone 2 in Area 1 at
3:00am on 5/5/2014 from Account 1234.
ZeroWire has multiple communicator options including Ethernet IP interface, email,
and 3G (with optional cellular radio module).
To turn your security system Off.
A predetermined user PIN code that will arm / disarm the security system whilst
sending a special code to the central monitoring station indicating the user is
entering / leaving the premises under duress. Only applicable on monitored
systems.
The time allowed to disarm your security system after the first detection device has
been activated.
