Glossar y of Terms
Auxiliary Circuit
-
Adetection circuit typewhich is monitoredatalltimes. Whentriggered
it will only activate outputs that are programmed as auxiliary.
Chime
-
An optional facility which allows selected detection circuits to
generate a two-tone "Chime" when triggered.
Central Station
-
A permanently manned monitoring station used to receive alarm
transmissions via the telephone line from a remote signalling device
such as a digicom.
Detection Circuits
-
All detection devices, e.g. magnetic contacts, movement sensors,
etc. are connected to detection circuits. Each circuit is allocated a
number which identifies the detection device. For example , a room
protected by a movement sensor may be "Circuit 01", while a door
protected by a magnetic contact may be "Circuit 02".
Digicom
-
DigitalCommunicator- A remotesignallingdevicefittedtothesystem
which will transmit alarm status data via the telephone line to a
dedicated central station.
Downloading
-
A process which allows the alarm system to be remotely interrogated
and programmed via a computer and modem.
Duress
- A means of entering a passcode which generates a silent alarm via
the digicom (if fitted) to a central station.
Exit/Entry r oute
- The route for entering or leaving the protected premises when the
system is being full or part-set.

and reach the remote keypad without causing an alarm.
Event Log
-

-
An externalpushbuttonswitch required by somepolice forceswhich is
used to set the system after leaving the premises.
Full Set
-
The state of the alarm system when it is protecting all wards.
Master User
-
The user(s) who are responsible for assigning new users to the alarm
system.
Modem
-
A device for transmitting and receiving data to and from a computer
via the telephone line.
Night Circuit
-
A detection circuit type that will generate a full alarm when the alarm
system is set. When the alarm system is unset the detection circuitmay
be triggered without causing an alarm.
Omit
-
To intentionally exclude the monitoring of one or more detection
circuits when full or part setting the alarm system.
Part-Set
-
Thestateofthealarmsystemwhenitisprotectingpartofthepremises.
