Areas
An area is made up of burglary zones that can be armed or disarmed
together. The Perimeter area, for example, consists of all the doors
and windows on the outside of the building. When you arm the
Perimeter, these zones sound an alarm if tripped.
Central Station Monitoring
Your system can also be programmed to automatically send alarm,
trouble, and arming and disarming reports to a central station.
Operators at the central station can then dispatch the appropriate
authoritiesorcontactyouwiththespeciceventinformation.
Status
Status is a feature that automatically displays the system armed
or dis armed status on the keypads. Alarm or trouble con ditions on
a zone or a system monitor such as AC or battery trouble can also
display. There are two types of status information available: Status
List and Armed Status.
Status List
The keypad Status List displays any alarm or trouble condition on
a zone and any trouble condition that occurs with the AC power or
battery power. If your system contains any Panic zones, these do
not display on the keypad for security reasons.
Ifanalarmoccursonanon-re,24-hourzoneorasystemmonitor,
it remains in the Sta tus List until it re stores. If one or more armed
burglary zones trips, the last one to trip remains in the Status List.
The burglary zone alarm remains in the Status List until it is cleared
by disarming the system.
Zone Status
To display the status of a particular zone, enter the zone number
followed by the COMMAND key when the keypad displays the Status
List.
Armed Status
With Armed Status, the keypad displays the current armed condition
of areas within your security system.
The keypad displays When
HOME SYSTEM ON The perimeter areas is armed in a
Home/Away system.
PERIMETER ON The perimeter is armed in an All/
Perimeter system.
ALL SYSTEM ON All areas are on.
SLEEP SYSTEM ON The perimeter and interior areas are on
but the bedroom area is off.
Also, for keypads that include an Armed LED, the Armed LED is ON
steady anytime a burglary protection area is armed and OFF when
ALL areas are disarmed.
Exit Error
This is an automatic panel function that occurs if an exit door does
not close all the way after the system is armed.
For example, if the front door is left ajar upon exit and the exit delay
time expires, the system attempts to arm the front door zone but
recognizes the open condition. The system sounds the alarm sirens
and starts the entry delay. If the open condition is not corrected, an
alarm and exit error is reported to the central station.
The Exit Error feature allows the central station to acknowledge
the arming error without dispatching the police on a false alarm.
