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