Local System
A Local System is a system that has a
control panel that is not programmed to call
a monitoring service. It will sound only local
(on sight) bells or sirens when an intrusion
or fire alarm is detected.
Monitored System
A Monitored System is a system that uses
phone lines to notify a monitoring service
of programmed abnormal events such as
burglar or fire alarms.
Partition
A Partition exists when the system is divided
up into 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 areas or
Partitions. Keypads within a Partition can
interact with only that Partition.
Partitioning
Partitioning is to divide the system into 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 areas or partitions. This
allows the system to act as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
or 8 separate systems.
Zone
A Zone is an input to the control panel.
There are eight hard-wired zones on the
control panel and additional zones may be
added. A zone is usually some type of
detection device whether it be designed for
burglar or fire.
Zone Bypassing
Zone Bypassing is a way of arming the
system by deliberately eliminating zones to
be armed.
Zone Function
A Zone Function is the description of how
a zone behaves in the system. Zone
Functions usually define how a zone will
respond when armed or when it detects an
alarm.
