CENTRAL STATION:
The signal monitoring center contacted by your security system over
the telephone and/or other communication channels when alarms are
activated if your system is programmed to communicate alarms off
site. The central station will follow their procedures and your
instructions for contacting the proper authorities when a signal is
received.
CHIME FEATURE:
An optional feature that causes the keypad to chime for one second
when selected doors are opened when the burglary protection is
disarmed. Once programmed by your installer, you can turn Chime
on and off with [#] [6].
DISARMED:
See ARMED/DISARMED.
DURESS:
Duress is a system feature that you may have programmed into your
system. If someone forces you to disarm your system, entering the
special Duress user code disarms the system and sends a silent
duress emergency signal to the central station so personnel there can
respond appropriately.
ENTRY DELAY:
The period of time allowed between opening a designated entry/exit
door and disarming the alarm system before the system will register
an alarm condition. This is determined at the time of installation.
Your system supports two entry times, allowing you to have a
different length of time for different doors.
EXIT DELAY:
The period of time allowed between arming the system and leaving
through a designated exit/entry door before the system will register
an alarm condition. This is determined at the time of installation.
INTERIOR ZONE:
An interior zone is a group of points that protect the interior of your
premises. You may want to arm the perimeter portion of your system
while leaving the interior zones disarmed to allow you to open
interior doors and pass interior motion detectors without causing an
alarm.
