the system. Selecting Home arms only the perimeter protection of the system. Selecting Sleep arms
the perimeter and interior areas, but leave devices near bedrooms and other nighttime areas off.
host - asynchronous communication over digital data networks.
host check-in - a programmable time period that specifies the delay, in minutes, the panel waits to
send its next check-in report. Since host communication is not a polled method, the check-in time
allows the SCS-1 or SCS-1R Receiver to get a check-in report (s70) periodically to verify the
communication link with the panel.
ingress (entrance) device - a device sensor configured to control access into an access-controlled
area.
initialize - the initialization function of the panel's programmer allows the clearing of selected parts of
the panel's program to default or blank settings. Initialization can include clear all codes, clear all
schedules, clear display events memory, clear zone information, clear area information, clear
communication and remote options, and a set to factory default options.
initiating device - any manually or automatically operated equipment that, when activated, initiates
an alarm through an alarm signaling device.
instant alarm - see night zone.
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) - a digital communications standard that integrates voice
and data.
Kbps - kilobits per second. See bits per second.
keep - a programming option under Events Manager that provides for all non-alarm reports to be held
in the panel's memory buffer until they're overwritten by new stored activity. You can view the
contents of the memory buffer using the DMP Remote Link software program or the display events
feature in the user menu.
keypad - a device with a keyboard and display that allows users to enter codes, arm and disarm areas,
view current and past events, and perform system functions such as silencing alarm bells and changing
user codes. Keypads can have LED, LCD alphanumeric, or vacuum fluorescent alphanumeric displays.
keypad alarm control - a burglar alarm control that is turned on and off by entering a numeric code
into a digital keypad. Signals can be sent when the control is turned on and off so that the central
station alarm company can supervise openings and closings.
late to close output - a specified output on a panel that is turned on any time a programmed area
remains disarmed past the scheduled closing period. The output is turned off when the area is armed,
the closing schedule is extended, or the schedule is changed.
line security - the degree of protection of the signaling system that connects the subscriber's system
to the central station alarm company. Two levels of line security-standard and encrypted-are
