8 XTL Series User Guide Introduction
Instant Zone
Exterior windows and non-entry doors, or interior protection
devices, are typically not programmed with delay times. If these
zones fault while the system is armed, an alarm occurs instantly.
24-Hour Zone
A 24-hour zone is not turned on or off by arming or disarm ing your
system. Some examples of 24-hour zones are re zones, panic
zones, and temperature control zones.
Areas
An area is made up of burglary zones that can be armed or disarmed
together. The Perimeter area, for example, consists of all the doors
and windows on the outside of the building. When you arm the
Perimeter, these zones sound an alarm if tripped.
Central Station Monitoring
Your system can also be programmed to automatically send alarm,
trouble, and arming and disarming reports to a central station.
Operators at the central station can then dispatch the appropriate
authoritiesorcontactyouwiththespeciceventinformation.
Status
Status is a feature that automatically displays the system armed or
dis armed status at the keypad and on the panel enclosure. Alarm
or trouble con ditions on a zone or a system monitor such as AC
or battery trouble can also display. There are two types of status
information available: Status List and Armed Status.
Status List
The Status List displays any alarm or trouble condition on a zone
and any trouble condition that occurs with the AC power or battery
power. If your system contains any Panic zones, these do not display
on the keypad for security reasons.
Ifanalarmoccursonanon-re,24-hourzoneorasystemmonitor,
it remains in the Sta tus List until it re stores. If one or more armed
burglary zones trips, the last one to trip remains in the Status List.
The burglary zone alarm remains in the Status List until it is cleared
by disarming the system. Pressing the COMMAND key allows the
next status list item to be displayed.
Zone Status
To display the status of a particular zone, enter the zone number
followed by the COMMAND key when the keypad displays the
Status List.
Armed Status
With Armed Status, the keypad displays the current armed condition
of areas within your security system.
The keypad displays When
HOME SYSTEM ON The perimeter areas is armed in a
Home/Away system.
PERIMETER ON The perimeter is armed in an
All/Perimeter system.
ALL SYSTEM ON All areas are on.
SLEEP SYSTEM ON The perimeter and interior areas are on
but the bedroom area is off.
Exit Error
This is an automatic panel function that occurs if an exit door does
not close all the way after the system is armed.
For example, if the front door is left ajar upon exit and the exit delay
time expires, the system attempts to arm the front door zone but
recognizes the open condition. The system sounds the alarm sirens
and starts the entry delay. If the open condition is not corrected, an
alarm and exit error is reported to the central station.
The Exit Error feature allows the central station to acknowledge
the arming error without dispatching the police on a false alarm.
