MAGNETIC CONTACT DETECTOR, WIRELESS
A Magnet-controlled switch and a wireless PowerCode
transmitter in a shared housing.
The detector is mounted on doors and windows to detect
changes in state (from closed to open and vice versa).
Upon sensing that a door or window is open, the detector
transmits its unique identification code accompanied
by an “alarm” signal and various other status signals
to the control panel. The control panel, if not armed at
that time, will consider the alarm system as “not ready
for arming” until it receives a “restored” signal from the
same detector.
MOTION DETECTOR, WIRELESS
A passive Infrared motion sensor and a wireless
PowerCode transmitter in a shared housing. Upon
sensing motion, the detector transmits its unique
identification code, accompanied by an alarm signal and
various other status signals to the control panel. After
transmission, it stands by to sense further motion.
QUICK ARMING
Arming without a user code. The control panel does
not request your user code when you press one of the
arming buttons. Permission to use this arming method
is given or denied while programming the system.
REMOTE RESPONDER
A responder can be either a professional service provider
to which the home or business owner subscribes (a
central monitoring station) or a family relation/friend who
agrees to look after the protected site during absence of
its occupants. The Zipabox reports events by telephone,
SMS and email to both kinds of responders.
RESTORE
When a detector reverts from the state of alarm to the
normal standby state, it is said to have been “restored”.
A motion detector restores automatically after detection
of movement, and becomes ready to detect again.
This kind of “restore” is not reported to the remote
responders. A magnetic contact detector restores only
upon closure of the protected door or window. This kind
of “restore” is reported to the remote responders.
SMOKE DETECTOR, WIRELESS
A regular smoke detector and a wireless transmitter in
a shared housing. Upon detection of smoke, the detector
transmits its unique identification code accompanied by
an alarm signal and various status signals to the control
panel. Since the smoke detector is linked to a special fire
zone, a fire alarm is initiated.
ZONE
A zone is an area within the protected site under super-
vision of a specific detector. During programming, the
installer allows the control panel to learn the detector’s
identity code and links it to the desired zone.
Since the zone is distinguished by number and name,
the control panel can report the zone status to the user
and register in its memory all the events reported by the
zone detector. Instant and delay zones are “on watch”
only when the control panel is armed, and other (24-hour)
zones are “on watch” regardless of whether the system is
armed or not.
