premises through an exit zone (usually a front door) and disarm the system.
entry output - a specified output on a panel that is turned on at the start of the entry delay time.
The output is turned off when the area is disarmed or the entry delay time expires.
entry zone - a zone type usually assigned to a perimeter door that allows the user a short amount of
time to enter and exit while the system is armed without setting off an alarm.
Ethernet - a LAN cabling system originally developed by Xerox, Intel, and Digital. Ethernet has a
bandwidth of 10 Mbps and uses the CSMA/CD access method.
events - system activity that generates messages to the reporting device.
events manager - a programming option that specifies when non-alarm reports are sent to the
receiver. Selecting this option does not affect zone alarm, zone trouble, zone restoral, supervisory, or
serviceman reports. Closing reports are not delayed if the closing wait option is enabled.
exit alarm - an alarm that occurs when a zone is still bad at the end of the exit delay time. This
usually occurs when the door through which the user exited does not close all the way before the
programmed exit time expired.
exit delay time - the length of time programmed into the system during which the user can exit the
premises through an exit zone (usually a front door) and disarm the system.
exit output - a specified output on a panel that is turned on any time an exit delay time starts in any
area of the system. The output is turned off when the exit delay time expires or when the arming has
been stopped.
exit zone - a zone type usually assigned to a perimeter door that allows users a programmable amount
of time to enter and exit while the system is armed without setting off an alarm.
factory defaults - this function of the panel's programmer allows you to quickly turn programming
parameters back to their factory default setting.
false alarm - an alarm signal initiated without the presence of an emergency. This term is generally
used to describe an unwanted alarm condition. A false alarm report is sent by the panel due to a user
error, environmental activation, or malfunction of a security device installed in the system. False
alarms can be controlled by thoroughly training all users and ensuring that equipment is installed
according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
fault - a report that is sent to the central station receiver whenever a fire verify or cross zoned zone
is tripped once but does not trip a second time to cause an alarm.
fire alarm output - a specified output on a panel that is turned on any time a fire type zone is placed
into an alarm condition. The output is turned off using the sensor reset option in the user menu while
no additional fire type zones are in alarm.
fire trouble output - a specified output on a panel that is turned on any time a fire type zone is
placed into a trouble condition or when a supervisory type zone is placed into an alarm or trouble
condition. The output is turned off when all fire and supervisory type zones are restored to normal.
fire verification - typically used on smoke detector zones to provide a reset of the panel's switched
auxiliary power or power supply (from where the smoke detectors are powered) and a delayed length of
time during which the detector must trip again before an alarm is initiated.
fire verify - a zone type typically used with smoke detectors that provides a reset, after a fire alarm,
of the panel's switched auxiliary power and 2-wire smoke detector zones and a delayed length of time
