Exit delay

A timer programmed by your installer. It starts when you arm your system, to allow you a

period of time in which to leave the premises. At the end of the exit delay, the system will

be armed.

Master code

The master code is a 4- or 6- digit access code that is used to program system options, to

arm and disarm the system, and to program other access codes.

Partition

A group of zones that can be turned on or off together. Certain access codes may have

access to only some partitions. See Zone.

Stay arming

Arming the system so that only the border zones are turned on. (Used when one or more

people will stay on the premises.)

Trouble

The control panel continuously checks the system for conditions that may reduce its effec-

tiveness. If the control panel finds one of these conditions (trouble), it will indicate this at

the keypad(s) to alert users to the problem. See “Identifying Trouble Conditions” on page 17

for a list of possible trouble conditions.

Zone

A limited area of the premises monitored by a detector (e.g., smoke detector, door/window

contact, motion detector, glassbreak detector, etc.).

Border zone: A zone that detects intrusion from outside the premises (e.g., door contact

on an outside door, glassbreak detector, etc.).

Interior zone: A zone that detects intruders that have already entered (e.g., door contact

on an interior door between rooms, motion detector, etc.).

Fire zone: A zone with a heat or smoke detector.
