Description 

 

Alarm Log 

Contains  information  about  alarms  that  are  currently  active  on  the  system  or  information  about  alarms  that  have  been 
raised and then resolved on the system. This log can be useful in analyzing problems and trends in the system.  

Arming/Disarming 

A process of enabling/disabling system's security.  

Authorized user 

It is a person whose mobile phone’s number is entered in GTalarm3 module. Several authorized users with the same rights 
may be entered into the module. 

Backup battery 

The secondary power source of the system. In case of a main power failure, the backup battery will take over.  

Bell squawk 

If enabled, the siren/bell indicates the completed system arming and disarming process (except the arming in STAY mode). 
After the system is successfully armed, the siren/bell will emit 2 short beeps and 1 long beep after the system is disarmed. 
By default, the parameter is disabled.  

Bypass/Activate Zone 

Zone bypassing allows the user to deactivate a violated zone and arm the system without restoring the zone. If a bypassed 
zone is violated or restored during exit/entry delay, or when then system is armed, it will be ignored. The zone will remain 
bypassed until the system is disarmed. Zones can only be bypassed and activated when the system is not armed.  

Caller ID 

Caller's identification 

COM 

Negative power supply terminal. 

 

  

Configuration 

Programming of the settings, which will define the operation of the item. For example, user's telephone numbers, set-up of 
periodicity for sending SMS message, input names etc. 

CMS 

Central monitoring station 

DIAL 

The system makes a call to the number specified. 

Diagnostic Tool 

When using  Configuration tool software, you may monitor system inputs/ outputs, view changes of peripheral devices, 
instantly configure necessary options, for example, enabling/disabling PGM outputs, etc.  

Entry Delay 

The system initiates the entry delay countdown if a Delay type zone is violated. The countdown is indicated by short beeps 
emitted by keypad buzzer and by steady beep emitted by system's buzzer. The indication is intended to advise the user 
that the system should be disarmed. If the system is disarmed before the entry delay expires, no alarm will be caused.  

EOL 

(End of line resistor) input type with resistor.
