Security Control Terms
This is an alphabetical list of terms used in the SCS-1R Receiver system operating instructions. Refer to these
explanations for additional information.
ACK - Acknowledge an alarm signal by pressing any top row Select key on the Membrane Keypad.
Alphanumeric - A set of characters consisting of either the letters A through Z, the digits 0 through 9, special
symbols, or a combination of all of these. For example, the set of characters “AB76#2,” is alphanumeric.
Character - One of a set of symbols that can be arranged in groups to express information. This includes the digits
0 through 9, the letters A through Z, punctuation marks, and other special symbols.
Command Processor Programs - The data programmed into a DMP Command Processor™ panel at the time of
installation. A typical program includes: communication information, system options, area information,
Programs zone information, and the number and type of Security Command® keypads in the system. This
should not be confused with System Programs that are software routines used by the SCS-1R to execute
functions described in the Operations Manual.
COMMAND - The key on the Membrane Keypad used to scroll through programming and enter programming
information.
LCD Membrane Keypad - A 32-character Liquid Character Display that displays information and provides a
Membrane Keypad that allows you to enter information.
Default Value - A value assigned to a prompt by the SCS-1R. The SCS-1R Receiver assigns the value to that prompt
allowing the operator to accept its entry and respond to the next prompt.
Entry - Information typed into the SCS-1R through the LCD Membrane Keypad mounted in the front of the
SCS-1R. This information is entered into the system when the COMMAND key is pressed.
Prompt- A single item of information on the LCD. For example, a prompt within the System Conguration program
would be the company name.
Menu - An LCD display that lists the program selections available to the operator.
Numeric - Description of numerical information. For example, the set of characters 1 2 3 4 5 is numeric.
User Number - The sequential number assigned to each user code number by the panel during its programming.
This is the number transmitted to the SCS-1R Receiver. The actual code number is never transmitted.
