What your alarm system is...
Youralarmsystemismadeupofacontrolpanelandseveraldetectiondeviceslikemotionsensors,
magneticcontacts,andsoon. Specificareasofdetectionarecalledzones. Zonescanbeprogrammedto
havedifferentcharacteristics. Somezonesmaybe24-hourzones,thatis,theyremainarmedevenwhen
thealarmsystemisoff. Zonesusedforfiredetection,forexample,arealways24-hourzones. Inaddition,
somezonescanbeprogrammedtoallowbypassing. Whenyoubypassazone,youtemporarilyremove
itfromthealarmsystem. Alwaysremember,however,that bypassedzonesarenotprotected.
How your alarm system works...

thecontrolpanelrespondsbyreportinganalarmconditiononsite---flashingkeypadlights,sounding
bells---andifprogrammed,bytransmittinganalarmsignaloverthetelephonewirestoacentral
