208 Advisor Master Programming Guide
Shunt
A procedure that automatically inhibits a zone from generating an alarm
when it is activated. E.g. shunts stop a door generating an alarm when
opened for a short time.
Tamper
A situation where a zone, an arming station, control panel, DGP or
associated wiring are tampered with, or accidentally damaged. The ATS
tamper facility activates a signal when tamper occurs.
Tamper alarms from zones are called zone tampers.
Timezone
A program setting which identifies specific time periods on specific days.
Timezones are allocated to ATS 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.
Up/Download
A protocol providing means to view the status of an ATS system or
change parameters in the system either local or remote.
User
Anybody making use of the ATS system. Users are identified to the ATS
system by a unique number that is associated with the user’s PIN.
Zone
An electrical signal from a security device (PIR detector, door contact) to
the ATS system. Each device is identified by a zone number and name.
E.g. 14 Reception Holdup Button, 6 Fire Exit Door.
