during which the detector must trip again before an alarm is initiated.
flow control - the process of adjusting the flow of data from one device to another to ensure that the
receiving device can handle all of the incoming data. This is particularly important where the sending
device is capable of sending data much faster than the receiving device can receive it.
force arm - this arming option allows the panel to force arm the system and ignore all bad zones.
Zones force armed in a bad condition are capable of restoring and reporting an alarm if tripped. A
report of the force armed zones is sent to the central station receiver if the bypass reports option has
been programmed as YES.
Form "A" Contacts - single-throw contacts that are normally open. See open circuit.
Form "B" Contacts - single-throw contacts that are normally closed. See closed circuit.
Form "C" Contacts - a dry contact, single-pole double-throw (SPDT) relay that provides one common,
one normally open, and one normally closed connection. When activated, the normally open side is
shorted to the common while the normally closed is opened.
4-2 Communication - a hexadecimal communication format that allows the DMP panel to send alarm
and system reports to non-DMP receivers. The 4-2 format consists of a 4-digit account number, a 2-
digit event code, and a 1-digit checksum.
4-Wire Bus Trouble - a keypad message indicating trouble on the keypad bus. This message is
generated when one of the following conditions occur:
Two Supervised devices on the keypad bus are set to the same address.
No supervised devices on the keypad bus.
Low data voltage on the yellow wire of the keypad bus.
fully armed - a condition on the system where all areas are in an armed state.
fully supervised zone - a zone in which the contact will activate an alarm in the event any
disturbance occurs.
general alarm - a term usually applied to the simultaneous operation of all the audible and visible
alarm notification appliances on a system to indicate the need for evacuation of a building.
glassbreak detector - a device attached to a glass surface or a window frame that senses an attack
on that surface.
hardware address - the unique physical address deter'mined at the physical and data link layers. For
example, each Ethernet card has a unique hardware address that is stored within the card.
holdup alarm - an alarm initiated by a mechanical panic button or software panic on a keypad in
response to a robbery or assault.
home - a condition of the system where perimeter devices only are placed into an armed state
allowing the user to move freely about the inside.
Home/Sleep/Away - this system option provides users with perimeter, interior, and bedroom areas
that they can selectively arm from the keypad for maximum security. Selecting Away arms all areas of
