1. Overview
Introduction
The alarm system consists of a control panel, one or more keypads and various detectors
and sensors. The control panel is normally mounted out of sight in a cupboard etc. and
houses the system’s electronics and stand-by battery. There is normally no reason for
anyone except an installer or service person to have access to the control panel.
The keypad is used to control the alarm system and to display its status via the English
text display. The keypad also provides audible feedback each time a key is pressed.
Each keypad will be mounted in a convenient location inside the protected premises,
near the designated points of entry/exit.
Users
Users of the alarm system will be assigned a unique 4, 5 or 6 digit User code. User
codes are used to arm and disarm areas to which they are assigned. Some User codes
can also access additional options such as, system tests and omitting zones.
To access the system a valid User code must be entered, if a mistake is made whilst entering
a User code, simply re-enter the correct code (the system may have been programmed so
that too many incorrect code entries will cause a Tamper alarm or lock the keypad out).
The User code may not allow access to certain functions i.e. if the code is only allowed
to arm and disarm area A, it will not be able to arm or disarm other areas on the system.
Most User codes can arm and disarm areas assigned to them from any keypad on the
system. However, Local Users will only be able to arm and disarm areas assigned to them,
from keypads assigned to the same areas.
As well as or instead of a code, users of the alarm system can be assigned a Proximity
TAG. Proximity TAGS replace the code number being entered with a key ring type TAG
that is presented to the reader inside the keypad to operate the alarm system.
Zones
A ‘zone’ is part of the protected premises and may consist of one or more detection
devices protecting rooms and points of entry/exit, (e.g. front door, kitchen, downstairs
windows, upstairs bedrooms, etc.). When the alarm system is fully armed, all of the
zones on the system are monitored.
Some zones may belong to more than one area, such as points of entry/exit i.e. the front
door and movement sensor in an entrance lobby. These are called global zones
because they are assigned to multiple areas.
A zone that is assigned to more than one area will only be monitored when all of the
areas it is assigned to are armed.
