Appendix C: Terms and Definitions
There are a few terms with which you should become familiar. Knowing
them will help you to better understand and use your system.
Alarm Receiving Center (ARC): Your system is set up to report
alarms to a Central Station, 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. Those 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 eight different Authority Levels available for users of
the Wisdom
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 Log: 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 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.
Fault Reporting: If required, your security system may also report to
the Central Station any faults or malfunctions it senses, so that a
service call can be made.
Follow-Me Phone: In addition to the standard event reporting to the
Central Station, the system can send Event messages to a designated
system user's telephone.
Key-Fob: The Key-Fob is a 4-button wireless transmitter that
allows you to set and unset your alarm system as well as send a
panic alarm and activate a relay output.
