parallel - a transmission format that can send multiple bits of data at the same time. This method
connects an electrical circuit whereby each element is connected across the other. The addition of all
currents through each element equals the total current of the circuit.
partial arming - a condition on the system where some, but not all, areas are in an armed state.
partition - a group of one or more areas that collectively operate as a multi-area panel or partition.
Each partition in a panel contains areas. An area can be an office in a building or a section of a house
such as the garage. Users who operate an area in one partition cannot view areas in another partition
through the same keypad. Some lesser manufacturers that do not have partition capability refer to
their areas as partitions.
pass-through - the ability to gain access to one network element through another.
perimeter - the portion of a protected area or building that includes doors, windows, and other
accessible openings.
perimeter arming - an arming option that allows the user to turn on only the perimeter portion of
their protection. Perimeter arming allows unrestricted movements within the interior of the protected
areas by leaving the interior devices disarmed.
permanent schedules - programmable schedules intended for such applications as late to close
annunciation and auto arming. Permanent schedules can also be programmed to restrict codes that
have certain authority levels to disarming the system only during selected times.
phone trouble output - an output that turns on any time the phone line monitor detects a voltage
below 3 VDC. The output is turned off when the phone voltage rises above 3 VDC.
Port - an electrical point of entry, usually on a router, to a computer, network, or other electronic
device. A router can have many ports.
Post Indicator Valve (PIV) - a cast metal post over the stem of an underground gate valve supplying
water to a sprinkler system. On each side of the PIV are rectangular windows through which you can
view a plate showing whether the valve is open or shut.
power fail delay - a programming option that tracks the duration of an AC power failure. When the
AC power is off for the length of the programmed delay, an AC power failure report is sent to the
receiver.
premises - the building or home being monitored by the security or fire system.
primary schedules - programmable schedules intended for such applications as late to close
annunciation and auto arming. Primary schedules can also be programmed to restrict codes that have
certain authority levels to disarming the system only during selected times.
printer - see local printer.
printer reports - a programming option that allows the definition of events that are sent to a local
printer.
priority zone type - a programming option that provides for a zone to be in a normal condition before
its assigned area can be armed. Priority zones cannot be bypassed or force armed.
programmer lockout code - this programming option allows you to enter an access code into the
panel that will then be required to gain access to the panel's internal programmer through the keypad.
You can change this code at any time to any combination of numbers form one to five digits long.
Once you have changed the code, it is important that it is documented and stored in a safe place.
Lost lockout codes require the panel to be sent back to DMP for repair.
programmer lockout code restrictions - you cannot set a lockout code higher than 65,535 or use the
codes 6653, 2313, or any three-digit code that begins with 98. These codes are reserved by the panel
