12 ProSYS User's Manual
Proximity: A technology that enables a keypad to sense when a proximity
key tag is near it. This provides an easy and user-friendly way to arm or
disarm the security system.
Tamper: A device that prevents system hardware from being tampered
with by triggering an alarm whenever a hardware component is opened.
Trouble Reporting: If required, your security system may also report to
the Monitoring Station any troubles or malfunctions it senses, so that a
service call can be made.
Upload/Download: Software used by the installer for programming the
ProSYS and by the user for operating the system and viewing system
status.
User Code: Up to a four-digit or six-digit code that is used to perform many
of the ProSYS functions.
Utility Output (UO): A household appliance. In addition to your system's
normal operation, it is possible to place a household appliance or premises
lighting under the control of the ProSYS where it can be conveniently
turned on and off automatically, or by user command from any system
keypad.
Weekly Schedules: Through the use of the system's built-in clock, it is
possible to schedule automatic operations such as arming and disarming,
UO activation, and user limitation.
Zone: A single detector, or collection of detectors, usually relating to a
certain area of the premises or type of protection. Zones that use devices
designed to detect break-ins are called intrusion zones. Another kind of
zone may contain one or more smoke detectors. Such zones are called fire
zones. An environmental zone typically protects the premises from gas
leaks and/or flooding.
