Understanding Security System Terms

Throughout this guide, and in some displays on your keypad, you 

may see certain words or phrases that might be unfamiliar.
Below are some common terms seen here and on the display.

Arming

This is the term used for turning on the burglary protection in one 

or more areas of the system. Your system may require you to enter 

a user code. When armed, the system can sound alarm sirens and, if 

monitored, send alarm reports to a Central Station when a burglary 

zone is faulted. Fire, panic, and other 24-hour devices are always 

turned on and do not need to be armed.

Disarming

This means turning off one or more areas of the system. When 

disarmed, the system does NOT sound alarms or send alarm reports 

to a Central Station when a burglary zone faults.

Zone

A zone refers to a protected opening or pro tection device assigned 

to a zone number. Each door or window, motion detec tor, smoke 

detector, or other device has a zone number and a name.

Entry or Exit  Zone

Almost all systems have one or more doors through which you can 

enter or exit the premises. These doors are programmed with a 

delay time to allow you to enter or exit while the system is armed 

without setting off the alarm.
When you arm the system, activity on all burglary zones is ignored 

until the programmed exit delay time expires. Once that time has 

expired and the system is fully armed, opening the door causes the 

panel to start the entry delay time. During the entry delay time, 

enter a valid user code to disarm the system or an alarm occurs.
