206 Advisor Master Programming Guide
Dialler
An electronic device that allows the ATS system to transmit alarms and
other events to a central station. Can also be used to perform
up/download.
Disarmed
The condition of an area when it is occupied and when the security
system has been set so that normal activity does not set off an alarm.
Door contact
A magnetic contact used to detect if a door or window is opened.
Door control
The control over door functions.
Door group
An ATS feature that assigns a group of doors or lifts to a user, in order
to allow access to those doors/lifts. Access to each door in a group can
be restricted via a timezone.
DUAL
Dual detector. A security device used to detect intruders in a certain part
of an area or premise. The technique used is based on two techniques
like PIR and RADAR or PIR and Ultrasonic.
Duress
A situation where a user is being forced to breach the system security
(e.g. forced at gunpoint to open the door). The ATS duress facility
allows a signal to be activated (e.g. notification to a central station) by
the user. This is done by entering a duress digit in conjunction with a
PIN.
Engineer
Personnel from an installer that is able to install and service the control
panel.
Event flag
A signal activated by a zone condition, area condition, system status or
fault condition, door command (on doors 1 to 16) or shunt condition. The
main purpose of an event flag is to activate an output.
Fire alarm
An alarm triggered by fire or smoke detectors indicating a fire.
Floor control
See Door control.
Floor group
An ATS feature that assigns a group of floors to a user, in order to allow
selection of floors when accessing a lift reader. Access to each floor in a
group can be restricted via a timezone.
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.
Keyswitch
A device using a switch to arm or disarm areas. The switch needs a key
to switch.
LCD
Liquid Crystal Display. The part of an arming station where messages
are displayed.
LED
Light Emitting Diode. A light 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.
Logic equation
A logic expression that combines macro inputs in a specific manner.
The result of a logic equation is called a macro output.
