IDS816 User Manual 700-283-01H Issued January 20096GlossaryGlossaryGlossaryGlossaryAlarm MemoryThis is the history of the most recent tampers and violations that occurred the last time the system wasarmed, as well as which zones were bypassed.ArmArming the system sets the system into the ARMED mode. In this mode, violating a zone will activate analarm condition. If the system is programmed correctly, this will cause an appropriate reporting code tobe sent to the monitoring company.BypassBypassing deactivates a zone. When the panel is ARMED, violation of a bypassed zone will be ignored.DisarmDisarming deactivates the system. Fire, medical and panic functions remain active while the system isdisarmed.Entry/Exit ZonesThese are zones that you may pass through during the entry/exit delay period without triggering an alarm.Their purpose is to provide a means by which you can exit after arming the system – and a means ofgetting to the panel to disarm it after gaining access to the premises. Generally, the last exit point of thebuilding and the first entry point, this is the front door of the home in most cases.Follower ZoneA zone that may be temporarily violated during the Exit Zone delay period or after a violation of anEntry/Exit zone. This allows the user (limited time) access to disarm the system when entering or exiting,and sufficient time to exit before arming comes into effect. A Follower zone will behave as per an Instantzone if violated prior to the violation of an Entry/Exit zone when armed.Instant ZoneWhen the system is armed, violation of an Instant Zone will immediately cause an alarm condition to beregistered.PartitionA partition is a group of zones that may be armed and disarmed independently without affecting zones orusers assigned to other partitions. The alarm panel may have been programmed by your installer to have1 or 2 partitions. Typically, a guest cottage appended to a main house may be partition 2, and the mainhouse partition 1.Stay ArmThis is an arming mode that allows certain pre-programmed, Stay zones to be bypassed (temporarilydisabled) while the system is armed. If you arm the system and do not leave the premises within the exitdelay, the system will assume that you are staying home and will stay arm.Stay Arm and GoArming that allows the user to Stay arm and leave the premises.Stay ZoneA zone that is bypassed automatically when the system is Stay armed.
