Glossary
Below is a list of commonly used terms and their explanations.
Alarm system
The alarm system is the complete electronic part of your security system.
Armed
The system is ON. Entering zones will trigger the alarm system.
Basic user
The basic user is an everyday user who can only arm and disarm the system.
Battery
The battery is an emergency power supply. It can keep the keypad operational
for a specific time during a 220/230 V mains power failure.
Break-in
A break-in alarm is a sign that an unauthorised person has been in the secured
area. During an alarm:
1. The bell and/or flashing light will activate
2. A connected dialler can send an alarm message to the central station
When the alarm is deactivated:
1. The bell and flashing light will stop
2. The dialler will send a restore message to the central station
3. A message will appear in the display indicating when and where the
alarm took place.
Code
The code is a personal code which enables a user to operate the alarm system.
Common area
A common area only exists in a split system. A common area is a part of the
premises which is used by 2 or more areas such as a common entrance. This
part is only armed if all the areas belonging to this common area are armed.
Control panel
The control panel consists of a keypad and a display. All operations and
programming are executed via the control panel.
Delay period
The time by which automatic arming or warning can be postponed.
Detector
A detector is a device which can generate an alarm, depending on the scientific
principle. Examples are the passive infra-red detector, the vibration detector and
the ultrasound detector.
Dialler
A dialler can translate a signal (alarm or fault) from the alarm system into a
signal for the central station. The dialler uses the telephone line to transmit these
signals.
Which faults and alarms and/or arming/disarming are reported depends on the
users wishes and the programming.
Display
The display is a window in the control panel in which text appears. This is the link
between you and the alarm system.
Double detector
A detector whereby an alarm is generated when two scientific principles are met.
This is usually a combination of passive infra-red with ultrasound or passive
infra-red with radar.
Engineer log
This is the permanent log with room for 1,000 events. This stores all the events
such as arming and disarming, alarms and faults. All events have the time and
date.
Entry route
The route you must follow to enter a secured area to reach the control panel in
order to disarm the system. Is usually the same as the exit route.
Exit route
The route you must take to leave the secured area from the arming location. This
is usually the same as the entry route.
