Local alarm
An alarm that is reported only within a building, and typically
occurs when an area is disarmed (occupied). The
circumstances that cause a local alarm can be checked and
rectified by personnel on site and it is therefore unnecessary for
the alarm to be relayed to a remote monitoring company.
Certain input types can generate a local alarm during access
(disarmed) times, and can report to remote monitoring company
during secure (armed) times.
Logic equation A logic expression that combines macro inputs in a specific
manner. The result of a logic equation produces the macro
action.
Low security time zone When a RAS’s low security time zone is valid, then either
or a PIN can be used to open a door. When the time zone
valid and “Card and Code” is set to YES, then both card and
PIN are required to open a door.
Note: This functionality requires the use of an Intelligent Access
Controller.
Macro input An event flag or an output that is used in a logic equation. Each
macro input is an event flag or output.
Macro logic program A set of rules that is created by macro inputs, logic equations,
and macro outputs.
Macro output A macro output holds the result of a logic equation. The macro
output can have a timing element. Macro outputs trigger event
flags or inputs.
Management software A Challenger system may be programmed and operated via
Security Commander management software on a graphical
interface.
Operator Customer staff member or installer who has login rights to
system management software.
Out reader A reader (RAS) that provides exit from a region through a door.
The out reader is accompanied by an in reader that provides
entry to the region through the door.
Note: This functionality requires the use of an Intelligent Access
Controller.
Out reader region When a valid card or PIN is entered at the door out reader, the
number of the region that the user is exiting from into is
recorded against the user code.
Note: This functionality requires
the use of an Intelligent Access
Controller.
Override time zone A door can be programmed with an override time zone that,
when valid, automatically keeps the door unlocked.
Note: This functionality requires the use of an Intelligent Access
Controller.
PIN Personal Identification Number—
A number given to, or selected
by, a user that identifies the user to the Challenger system.
PIR Passive Infrared detector. A security device used to detect
intruders in a certain part of an area or premises.
Poll An inquiry message continually sent by the control panel to
DGPs and arming stations. Polling allows the remote unit to
transfer data to the control panel.
