latched auxiliary An auxiliary that remains active until it is deactivated using the appropriate off

switch. An example of a latched auxiliary is a light. When the keyboard controller’s

Auxiliary On button is pressed, the light is turned on. When the Auxiliary Off button

is pressed, the light is turned off. See also auxiliary and momentary relay.

entering a user number (1-64) and a six digit passcode. When the function is

disabled, system access is restricted only by the priority level set for the keyboard in

use.

manual clearance A system operator clears the alarm scene when it is displayed on its associated

monitor by pressing the ACK key on the AD2078A or ADTT Touch Tracker. If the

displayed alarm camera scene is a member of a wired set, and is programmed with

the connect next option of “Wired Group Ack”, all members of the wired set will be

cleared simultaneously.

menu callup The menu callup function identifies the video input that the program monitor output

is connected to. Menu callup allows an administrator to call the video input to any

system monitor. By turning the AD2078A keyswitch to the "DISP" position, the

administrator can then perform menu programming using the system monitor.

monitor The screen where camera video is displayed.

monitor tour A sequence of video inputs with specified dwell times that are displayed one after

the other on a monitor called manually by a system operator.

output An auxiliary signal. Outputs lock and unlock doors, turn lights on and off, activate

audible alarms, etc. Outputs can also be initiated automatically in response to an

alarm.

override If the override function is enabled for a specific priority level, a user assigned to that

priority level can override a keyboard’s camera view and control partitioning when

using that keyboard.

pan Side to side camera movement

parity An extra bit added to a byte, character, or word to ensure that there is always either

an even or odd number of bits, according to the logic of the operating system. If a bit

is lost in transmission, its loss can be detected by checking the parity.

partitioning To partition is to restrict access to one system device from another. Keyboards can

be partitioned from calling specific monitors. Keyboards can also be partitioned from

viewing and/or controlling cameras. Monitors can be partitioned from displaying

specific cameras.

passcode A six digit passcode that an operator must enter on the keyboard before gaining

access to the AD168 system. Note: if log in is disabled, passcode entry is not

necessary.

password If PC password protection is enabled on S³ software, a dialog box will appear on

program startup which requires the user to enter a name and password before

gaining further access to S³.
