GLOSSARY

The following glossary of terms used throughout the manual will ayoid any confusion.

ARM/DISARM: “Armed” simp!y means that the bur-

glary portion of your system is turned ON and is in a state of readiness. “Disarmed” means that the burglary system is

turned OFF, and must be rearmed to become operational.

However, even in a “disarmed” state, “emergency” and

“’fire” portions of your system will still be operational.

KEYPAD: This is the area 00 your Console containing

numbered pushbuttons similar to those on telephones or calculators. These keys control the arming or disarming of

the system, and perform other functions which will be

described.

ZONESA specific area of protection.

BYPASS: To disarm a specific area of burglary protection

while leaving other areas operational.

DELAYZONE: An area of protection containing doors

most fequently used to enter or exit (typically, a front door, back door, or door from the garage into the house). The

delay zone allows sufficient time for authorized entry and exit without causing an alarm. Consult your installer for the entry and exit delay times that have been set for your sys-

tem during installation and record them on page 7.

DAY/NIGNT ZONE: An area of protection whose vio-

lation causes a trouble indication during the disarmed

(DAY) mode and an alarm during the armed (NIGHT) mode.

IDENTIFYINGTHE EQU[PMENT

THEVISTA CONSOLE: enables vou to control all svs-

tern functions and also enables you t~monitor and diag-’

nose system operation. It is equipped with a multifunction 12-key digital keypad, a fixed-word English language/zone numeric LCD* and status indicator lights which can display the nature and location of all occurrences, plus a built-in alarm sounder.

THE ALPHA VISTA CONSOLE: is similar to the

VISTA Console, except that it is equipped with a 2-line, 32character, fully programmable alphanumeric LCD* which can present the nature and location of ail occurrences in an

English language display (as depicted in the illustration above). A self-help feature is also incorporated. This feature is activated by simply pressing any of the function keys for 5 seconds. The message display screen on the Console will

then scroll information related to the use of the key that has

been pressed. This feature will prove particularly usetul this manual is not conveniently accessible when you need to perform a little-used system procedure with which you

are not familiar.

DELAY ZONE ENTRY AND EXIT TIMES

These are set by your installer during installation and determine the number of seconds available for exit and entry through a delay zone, when arming and disarming the burglary protection, to avoid setting off an alarm.

The delay times for your system should be recorded here:

Exit Delay #1 seconds* Exit Delay #2 — seconds*

‘May be from 15 to 225 seconds, but no more than 60

seconds for a UL Listed Household burglary application.

Entry Delay #1 Entry Deiay #2

●*May be from 15 to 225 seconds, but no more than 45

seconds for a UL Listed Household burglary application.
