Panic Buttons - Buttons on the keypad
(7F, 8A or 9P). If enabled, pressing
together with 7F, 8A or 9P will
alert the central station of a fire,
auxiliary, or police emergency. All are
audible within the premises when acti-
vated.
Partitioned System - A system that has
been subdivided into two independent
subsystems (called "Areas").
Report - A transmission to a central
station notifying of a change in the
status of the system (alarm, trouble,
low battery, etc.).
RF Low Battery - (Wireless systems
only) Weak transmitter battery.
RF Supervisory - (Wireless systems
only) Periodic test report from a
transmitter (if a report is not received
on time, a supervisory-failure system
trouble will result).
Ringback - A beep after arming verifying
the central-station's receipt of a
closing ("arming") report.
Service Code - A User Code intended for
temporary use.
Sounder - A local warning device at each
keypad to alert that (a) entry delay
has started; (b) an attempt was made
to arm with a zone in trouble; (c) a
Day-Zone condition exists (see
Zones: Day Zone); (d) 10 seconds
exit time remaining; (e) invalid code
entered; or (f) central station-
acknowledged arming (see Ringback).
System Trouble - A problem (low
battery, power failure, etc.) detected in
the system.
Trouble - A zone fault. For example, an
open door, window, or other problem
that may prevent arming.
User Code - Your personalized code for
arming and disarming the system. It
may contain up to six digits.
Zones - Independent circuits that protect
specific parts of the premises, such
as:
 Auto-Bypass Zone: A zone that will
be automatically bypassed from the
protection system if it is in trouble
(faulty) when the system is armed.
 Burglary Zone: Detects intrusion.
 Exit/Entry Follower Zone: Provides
exit and entry delay for interior
devices. Entry delay only occurs if re-
entry takes place through the normal
exit/entry door first.
 Fire Zone: Detects fire alarms or
trouble conditions.
 Interior Zones: Circuits within the
premises, usually including space-
protection devices, interior doors, etc.;
but not exterior doors or windows.
(Two groups of Interior Zones may be
programmed for each Area).
 Selective-Bypassed Zone: A zone
that can be individually bypassed
pressing BYPASS followed by the
zone number.
 24-Hour Zone: A zone that is armed
and ready at all times to respond to an
emergency situation.
