History A list of past alarm and access control events stored in memory that can
be viewed on an LCD arming station or sent to a printer.
Hold-up A (silent) alarm that is triggered by a hold-up button. Normally it will not
trigger any siren, only send a message to a central station.
Inhibit See Normal/Active/Tamper/Inhibited
Installer A company that installs and services security equipment.
Keypad A remote arming station with keys to input data (keypad). Used to
program the control panel, perform user functions, view alarms, etc.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). The part of an arming station where messages
are displayed.
LED (Light Emitting Diode). A visual indicator on an arming station which
conveys a condition, e.g.; area in alarm, communication fault, etc.
Local alarm An alarm that is signalled only within a premise and occurs when an area
is occupied. The circumstances that cause a local alarm can be checked
and rectified by personnel on site and it is therefore unnecessary for the
alarm to be reported to a central station.
Normal/Active/Tamper/Inhibited Describes the condition of a zone.
Normal: The zone is NOT activated. E.g. Fire Exit Door closed
Active: The zone is activated. E.g. Fire Exit Door open
Tamper: The zone is open or short-circuited. Someone may have
tried to tamper the security device.
Inhibited: The zone has been inhibited from indicating normal or
active status. It is excluded from functioning as part of the
system.
Nuisance alarm An alarm that is triggered by a security device, without any burglar. Could
be caused by open windows, pets or incorrect projection of security
equipment.
PIN code A 4-10 digit number given to, or selected by, a user. It is necessary to
enter a PIN code on an Advisor MASTER keypad as a pre-requisite to
perform most Advisor MASTER functions. In the Advisor MASTER
programming, the PIN code is associated with a user number which
identifies the PIN code holder to the system.
RAS Remote Arming Station. See Arming station.
Reader A device used for access control that can read cards to allow access.
Depending on the needs and the type of cards, the reader can for
example be a magnetic swipe reader or proximity reader.
Tamper A situation where a zone, an arming station, control panel, DGP or
associated wiring are tampered with, or accidentally damaged. The
Advisor MASTER tamper facility activates a signal when tamper occurs.
Tamper alarms from zones are called zone tampers.
Timezone A program setting which identifies specific timeperiods on specific days.
Timezones are allocated to Advisor MASTER functions to control the
activity of that function by time and day and are primary used to restrict
access. E.g automatically arm or disarm areas or open doors.
User Anybody making use of the Advisor MASTER system. A unique number
that is associated with the user’s PIN code identifies users to the
ADVISOR MASTER system.
Zone An electrical signal from a security device (PIR detector, door contact) to
the Advisor MASTER system. A zone number and name identify each
device. e.g. 14 Reception Hold-up Button, 6 Fire Exit Door.
