TECHNICAL GLOSSARY

Control panel status which differs according to the envisaged cause of alarm (see audible signals and alarms)
False alarm, caused by defect and/or fault of one or more appliances
Alarm caused by incorrect installation, technical restraint of appliances or external cause
Type of alarm and relative signals that draw attention and deter vandals/burglars
Type of alarm and relative signals implemented in a situation of danger where it is preferable not to activate sirens,
for example calling the police force or when different assistance is required (calling a doctor)
Different and specific type of alarm for detectors of smoke, flooding or other hazardous events
Group of detectors, activated/deactivated together, for example the sleeping area may be considered as a zone .
Each detector may be programmed to belong to one zone only
Type of zone activated at all times; panic, burglar and technological alarms are all of this type
Control panel function used to reduce the number of improper alarms, enabling the programming of two detectors
in the same area and generation of the alarm status only if both transmit an alarm signal (within 30 seconds of one
another)
Keypad function that enables shutoff of an alarm by entering a different code from the normal version, but which
activates the burglar alarm at the same time
Operation to disable a detector through to subsequent reset (due to a fault or other cause)
System designed to automate the command of appliances and devices (open/close doors, turn on lights etc .)
according to set rules, for example when specific events occur, such as lights turning off or shutters closed when
an alarm is armed
Attempt to deactivate a device, for example by opening an appliance casing or removing it from a fixture point
Control panel facility to record the last 200 operations performed and to review events on the display
Control panel status prior to actual alarm, for example caused by detectors programmed with an alarm delay
Outdoor siren status before activation (emission of beeps repeated for approx . 10 seconds)
Interval between transmission of detector and alarm status: programmable for each detector
Appliance designed to signal intrusion, transit, opening of doors/windows and any other event that may be a source
of a hazard or alarm
Detector applied on doors or windows to protect the building "perimeter"
Indoor detector controlling the entire volume of a room
Control panel status that blocks arming of alarms, for example for test procedures or battery replacement
Type of zone activated at all times; used when necessary for activation of external sirens and telephone calls via a
key on the remote control or keypads
Type of zone activated at all times; used when only telephone call activation is necessary (silent alarm) via a key on
the remote control or keypads
Type of zone activated at all times; used to generate a specific alarm caused by detectors of smoke, flooding or
other hazardous events
