AAV: Audio Alarm Verification, also known as 2-way voice to the central station. The LYNX-REN has this feature built-in. The

LYNX-R can use the LYNX-AVM, other panels can be used with an Eagle Model 1250 or other appropriate module. The

control panel will trigger this module upon kissoff from the central station receiver and microphones and speakers connected

to the Eagle board will allow a 2 way voice dialog between the central station operator and the protected premises.

Addressable Control Panels: Addressable Control Panels make it easier to pinpoint the exact alarm and trouble

conditions. This exact pinpointing is accomplished by having all addressable devices connected to a single two-conductor

circuit called a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) and assigning each addressable device with a unique address. The control panel

is able to “interrogate” each addressable device and display its’ status at the control panel. This signal will report the exact

location of any alarm or trouble condition of an addressable device on the SLC.

Addressable Devices: Any module that connects to the panel’s ECP (keypad) bus requires a specific address which

identifies this device to the control. Devices are either addressed via dip switches, software, or have fixed addresses.

These devices include keypads, expansion modules, wireless receivers and transmitter modules, telephone modules, and

some AlarmNet radio transmitters.

APM: (VISTA-128BP, VISTA-128FBP, VISTA-250BP and VISTA-250FBP). Alpha Paging Module - ADEMCO model V8201.

Wires to the panel’s J8 connector via a 4142TR cable.

Alarm Cancel Verification: In the event of a false alarm, after the user enters their code + OFF, “Cancelled Alarm” is

displayed on an alpha keypad confirming the alarm has been cancelled at the central station. “CA” will be displayed on a

fixed English keypad.

Alarm Signal: A signal indicating an emergency requiring immediate action, such as a signal indicative of fire.

Analog Initiating Device (Sensor): Like an addressable device, this type of initiating sensor pinpoints its alarm and

trouble conditions. Additionally, analog sensors are capable of sending analog values (sensitivity) that represent the amount

of smoke or heat at the sensing chamber. Several features of analog systems are:

• The control panel can individually set the sensitivity of each sensor in the system (high, low & medium)

• The control panel can change the sensitivity of all the sensors in the system to make them more sensitive at night

or on weekends when the building is not occupied.

• The sensor can send a maintenance alert to the control panel when it is becoming dirty and may false alarm

• The sensor can send to the control panel its sensitivity level

• Drift compensation – During the life of the sensor it gets dirty and becomes more sensitive. The control panel can

compensate for the drift by adjusting the alarm threshold and achieve constant sensitivity

Annunciator: A unit containing two or more indicator lamps, alphanumeric displays, or other equivalent means in which

each indication provides status information about a circuit, condition, or location.

Audible Exit Warning: When the system is armed in the Away or Maximum mode, the keypads will sound a warning of

slow beeps and change to fast beeps for the last 5 or 10 seconds. The VISTA-20PS has a feature where the system can

be programmed to display the exit time remaining in intervals of 1-5 seconds.

Audible Signal: An audible signal is the sound made by one or more audible notification appliances such as bells, horns

or chimes in response to the operation of an initiating device.

Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ): The organization, office or individual responsible for approving equipment, an

installation or a procedure. The AHJ is typically the local Fire Marshal.

Auto Stay: If the user arms the system in the Away mode but does not exit before the exit delay expires, the system will

arm in the Stay mode.
