Risco ProSYS 128 - Appendix D: Terms and Definitions

72 ProSYS User Guide
Appendix D: Terms and Definitions
Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC): Your system is set up to report
alarms to an ARC, which is a facility that continually monitors the
activities of many security systems (usually via the telephone network)
and dispatches the proper authorities.
Authority Level: Each individual using the system is assigned a user
code, which, in turn, is linked to an Authority Level. Users with a "higher
authority" have access to a greater number of system functions, while
those with a "lower authority" are more restricted in what they may do.
There are nine different Authority Levels available for users of the
ProSYS, as described on page 41.
Chime: The chime is a series of three short keypad tones, which can
be set up to annunciate, during the unset period, the violation of
selected intrusion zone(s). For example, the chime tone can be used to
annunciate the arrival of a customer each time the front door opens.
The chime can be disabled or enabled at your discretion.
Event Memory: A list of system events can be displayed on an LCD
keypad or uploaded to the alarm company via the Upload/Download
software and printed for further analysis.
Exit/Entry Route:
Your security system must incorporate an
entry/exit route to allow proper entry and exit to and from the premises
without causing inadvertent
alarms.
Exit/Entry Delay:
Your security system must incorporate an
entry/exit delay to allow proper entry and exit to and from the premises
without causing inadvertent
alarms.
Exit Terminator: A push button normally mounted outside the
premises that is used to set the system.
Fault Reporting: If required, your security system may also report to
the ARC any faults or malfunctions it senses, so that a service call can
be made.
Final Exit: The last door or detector operated by the user on the exit
route.
Follow-Me Report: In addition to the standard event reporting to the
ARC, the system can send Event messages to a designated system
user's telephone or Email.
Group: A number of zones gathered as one unit to allow partial setting.
Each zone can be assigned to any one (or a combination) of two
groups (A, B). Each partition can be divided into a maximum of two
groups.
