1.1 Alarm technology terms
This chapter contains the most important terms from the area of alarm technology. If you
come across a specialist term that you do not understand, you can read about it here.
System arming STAY/AWAY (external, internal)
When you activate the ABUS wireless alarm system, you activate, or arm, the sensors
of the system (door and window contacts, glass breakage detectors, motion sensors,
etc.). Every sensor is triggered by a particular event (a motion sensor by movement, a
glass breakage sensor by glass breakage, a window contact by the opening of the
secured window, a smoke detector by smoke, etc.). When the system is activated, the
triggering of a sensor leads to an alarm. You can activate externally and internally, and
you can activate partitions.
External activation (AWAY arming) activates ALL detectors integrated in the system.
Internal activation (STAY arming) arms only specific detectors (for example, door-
opening contacts and glass breakage detectors). You can therefore move around the
house without triggering an alarm. This must be programmed in advance.
Omitting a zone
When you activate your system, you can omit certain zones. The sensor of an omitted
zone does not report an alarm if it is triggered. For example: If you omit an opening
sensor (e.g., on a window), your system (when activated) will not trigger an alarm if this
window is opened.
Authority level
Every person who operates the ABUS wireless alarm system needs a user PIN. Each
user PIN is assigned to an authority level. Users with a “higher” authority have access to
a larger number of system functions. All users with “lower” authority are more restricted
in their activities. There are 8 different authority levels available for users of the ABUS
wireless alarm system.
User PIN
The user code is a 4-digit or 6-digit PIN code that you have to enter to use the ABUS
wireless alarm system. Performing many of the system functions is possible only with
this PIN code. See the installation instructions for your user PIN. The factory setting of
the PIN is [1] [2] [3] [4].
Disarming (deactivate)
When you deactivate the ABUS wireless alarm system, the system sensors are
disarmed. The triggering of a sensor no longer results in an alarm. Exceptions: Smoke
detectors, sensors you have defined as door chimes, and all detectors integrated in
zones that are monitored 24 hours a day by default.
