Alarm

An alarm situation is initiated when an alarm trigger is being sent from one of the

detectors attached to the alarm system. Different detectors types can be:

• PIR – Detect motion in the zone (room) where they are installed.

• Door contact – Detects the opening of a door or a window.

• Glass Break – Detects a glass breaking event.

• Fire – Detects a fire situation.

• Flood – Detects a flood situation

• Gas – Detects a leak of gas.

• Emergency / Panic – Two buttons located on the control panel or keypads of

the security system. Once being pressed by the owner, an emergency alarm is

initiated.

Alert

Alerts indicate trouble events in the security system control panel or in the

accessories. Once an alert situation occurs, it will not affect the security system's

behavior immediately but it should be fixed as soon as possible. Alert events include

the following:

• Tamper Open – One of the security system accessories is open or removed

from the wall.

• Inactivity – One or more of the security system accessories has lost

connection with the control panel.

• Low Battery – One of the security system accessories has a low battery

situation.

• Communication Failure – The control panel is disconnected from the phone

line.

• RF Jamming – The RF transmission of the control panel is being jammed.

• Power Fail – The control panel is disconnected from the mains.

Arming

The security system has different arming modes in which the security system acts

differently as a result of a trigger being sent from the detectors:

• Arm Away – The AWAY mode indicates that the house is empty (although

pets may remain in the house if proper detectors are installed). In this arming

mode, any trigger from any of the detectors is immediately treated by the

security system as an Alarm situation.

• Arm Home – The HOME mode indicates that the house is partially occupied.

This mode is usually used during night hours in which some of the detectors

are to be ignored since the house members might move in the areas where
