ProSYS User Guide 73
Keyswitch: Your system may also be equipped with a keyswitch,
which is useful for simple setting and unsetting operations (usually at a
remote location).
Partition: One of the advantages of ProSYS is its ability to divide any
system into a number of partitions. You can think of each partition as a
separate security system that can be set and unset individually.
Programmable Output (PO): 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,
enabling it to be turned on and off automatically, or by user command
from any system keypad.
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 set or unset the security system.
Scheduler: The system's built-in clock enables scheduling of automatic
operations, such as Setting and Unsetting, Output activation, and user
limitation.
Tamper: A device that prevents system hardware from being tampered
with by triggering an alarm whenever a hardware component is
opened.
Upload/Download: Software used by the engineer for programming
the ProSYS and by the user for operating the system and viewing
system status.
User Code: A four-digit or six-digit code that is used to perform many
of the ProSYS functions.
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 intruder 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.
