Appendix B: Glossary of Programmable Topics
--- A ----
AC Fail (Report). Tells the central station (or other
communicator) that the system has experienced an AC power
failure for the amount of time specified in the AC Power Fail
Delay. Program “yes” to enable this type of reporting for that
particular communicator.
Account Comm 2-4 Select. Configures specialized reporting
options for the customer.
Account ID. The Account ID (also called AID) is used for all
references to the system.
Account Mode. See Mode (Account).
Account Name. A description of the account. It is used by the
Imagine to more easily find the account. Enter as many as 24
letters or numbers.
Alarm Cancel Enable (Account). Allows the user to cancel an
alarm by entering a valid user code. The code must be entered
within a certain number of seconds after the initial alarm
condition. If the alarm has not been reported, no alarm report is
sent. If the alarm has been reported, a cancel report is sent
instructing the central station to disregard the alarm. Program
“yes” to give the user this ability.
Answering Machine Bypass Enable. Ensures that the
Imagine software connects with the system rather than with an
answering machine. The system samples the telephone line
following the ring determine if the caller is the Imagine software.
If so, the system seizes the line and completes the connection.
Otherwise, the system ignores the call. Program “yes” if the
homeowner has an answering machine.
Auxiliary Alarm (Report). Tells the central station (or other
communicator) that there has been an alarm on an Auxiliary
zone. These zones are generally 24-hour zones for monitoring
freezers or water levels in basements. Program “yes” to enable
this type of reporting.
Auxiliary Pattern. The cadence used most commonly to
annunciate alarms on auxiliary zones. Choose the desired
cadence from the list of options.
Auxiliary Cutoff Minutes. How many minutes the output
remains active before turning off after an alarm on an auxiliary
zone. Program a value within the range of 0-255 minutes,
where 0 latches the output.
Auxiliary Trouble (Report). Tells the central station (or other
communicator) that a trouble condition exists on an auxiliary
zone. Program “yes” to enable this type of reporting.
---- B ----
Battery Fail (Report). Tells the central station that the backup
battery’s voltage has dropped below 3.0 VDC, and that the
system is preparing to power down to prevent permanent
damage to the battery. This is also known as “load-shedding.”
(A low battery condition, in contrast, occurs when the battery
voltage falls below 3.1 VDC.) This report is the last report sent
before the system goes off line. Program “yes” to enable this
type of reporting.
Burglary Alarm (Report). Tells the central station (or other
communicator) that an alarm has occurred on a burglary zone.
Common burglary zones include entry/exit, instant, and follower
zones. Program “yes” to enable this type of reporting.
Burglary Pattern. The cadence that annunciates alarms on
burglary zones. A burglary pattern would normally be selected
with the following zone types: entry/exit, force exit, instant,
follower, and delay follower. Burglary alarm conditions are
generally annunciated with a steady cadence. Choose the
desired cadence from the list of options.
Burglary Cutoff Minutes. How many minutes the output
remains active before turning off after an alarm on a burglary
zone. Program a value within the range of 0-255 minutes,
where 0 latches the output.
Burglary Trouble (Report). Tells the central station (or other
communicator) that a trouble exists on a burglary zone.
Program “yes” to enable this type of reporting.
---- C ----
Cancel Alarm (Report). Tells the central station (or other
communicator) that a valid user code was entered after an
alarm and before the Cancel Report Timer expired. Entering the
user code would also silence the sounders. Program “yes” to
enable this type of reporting.
Chime Enable. Makes the chime feature active at the local
Keypad. The Keypad’s chime sounds if a perimeter zone is
faulted (zone type entry/exit, forced exit, or instant) while the
system is disarmed, provided that the chime zone topic is
enabled for that particular zone. Program “yes” to allow for this
type of chiming.
Chime Zone Enable. Causes the Keypad’s chime to sound for
one second when the zone is faulted while the system is
disarmed. This topic is normally used with perimeter zones
(doors and windows). Program “yes” to allow the chime to
sound for the specific zone.
Close Delinquent (Report). Tells the central station (or other
communicator) that the system has not been armed in the
specified number of days. Program “yes” to enable this type of
reporting; program the Delinquent Days topic with the desired
number of days.
Closing Reports (Report). Tells the central station (or other
communicator) that the system has been armed. Program “yes”
to enable this type of reporting for that particular communicator.
Be sure that the Open/Close Reports (User Privilege) topic is
also enabled for each user whose arming activities is to be
reported.
Comm 1 Report Account. Identifies the account number that is
used to report alarms and other events to Communicator 1.
(Similar topics exist for communicators 2-4.) This number
becomes the system’s installer code.
