APPENDIX C: Glossary
D-304269 KP-250 PG2 User’s Guide 65
Smoke Detector, Wireless: A regular smoke detector and a wireless PowerG transceiver in a shared housing. Upon
detection of smoke, the detector transmits its unique identification code accompanied by an alarm signal and various
status signals to the control panel. Since the smoke detector is linked to a special fire zone, a fire alarm is initiated.
State: AWAY, HOME, AWAY-INSTANT, HOME-INSTANT, LATCHKEY, FORCED, BYPASS.
Status: AC fail, low battery, trouble, system state etc.
User Codes: The KP-250 PG2 is designed to obey your commands, provided that they are preceded by a valid security
access code. Unauthorized people do not know this code, so any attempt on their part to disarm or defeat the system is
bound to fail. Some operations, however, can be carried out without a user code as they do not degrade the security
level of the alarm system.
Zone: A zone is an area within the protected site under supervision of a specific detector. During programming, the installer
allows the control panel to learn the detector’s identity code and links it to the desired zone. Since the zone is distinguished
by number and name, the control panel can report the zone status to the user and register in its memory all the events
reported by the zone detector. Instant and delay zones are “on watch” only when the control panel is armed, and other (24-
hour) zones are “on watch” regardless of whether the system is armed or not.
