WisDom User Manual 61
Appendix C: Terms and Definitions
There are a few terms with which you should become familiar.
Knowing them will help you to better understand and use your
system.
Authority Level: Each individual using the system is assigned a
user code, which, in turn, is linked to an Authority Level. Those
with a "higher authority" have access to a greater number of
system functions, while those with a "lower authority" are more
restricted in what they may do. There are eight different
Authority Levels available for users of the Wisdom
Chime: The chime is a series of three short keypad tones, which
can be set up to annunciate, during the disarmed period, the
violation of selected intrusion zone(s). For example, the chime
tone can be used to annunciate the arrival of a customer each
time the front door opens. The chime can be disabled or enabled
at your discretion.
Event Log: A list of system events can be displayed on an LCD
keypad or uploaded to the alarm company via the
Upload/Download software and printed for further analysis.
Exit/Entry Delay: Your security system must incorporate an
entry/exit delay to allow proper entry and exit to and from the
premises without causing
inadvertent alarms.
Follow-Me Phone: In addition to the standard event reporting to
the Central Station, the system can send Event messages to a
designated system user's telephone.
Key-Fob: The Key-Fob is a 4-button wireless transmitter that
allows you to arm and disarm your alarm system as well as send
a panic alarm and activate a relay output.
Monitoring (Central) Station: Your system is set up to report
alarms to a Central Station, which is a facility that continually
monitors the activities of many security systems (usually via the
telephone network) and dispatches the proper authorities
.
