Method of programming security control panels for door entry device compatibility
First Claim
1. A method of operating a security system comprising the steps of:
- a. programming a control panel in the security system to accept messages from a system arm/disarm device associated with an identification number;
b. programming the control panel to accept messages from a door closure device associated with the identification number; and
c. the control panel registering the identification number as being associated with a door entry security device.

Abstract
A method of operating a control panel in a security system that includes a door entry security device in a housing suitable for mounting within a recess of a doorjamb or door of a premises. The control panel is programmed to register a system arm/disarm device and a door closure device, both with the same identification number, such that the control panel recognizes that identification number to be associated with a door entry security device. In the even that the control panel receives, while in an armed state, an alarm signal from a security device in the security system and then receives a system disarm message, then the control panel determines if the system disarm message was received from a system arm/disarm device that has been registered as a door entry security device. If the control panel determines that the system disarm message was received from a system arm/disarm device that has been registered as a door entry security device, then the system disarm message is ignored; and if the control panel determines that the system disarm message was not received from a system arm/disarm device that has been registered as a door entry security device, then the system disarm message is followed.

6. A security system comprising:
-
a control panel, and a door entry security device comprising;
a housing;
a lock position detecting switch within the housing, adapted to detect the position of a lock mounted on a door associated with a doorjamb as being either locked or unlocked with respect to the doorjamb;
a door position detecting switch within the housing, adapted to detect the position of the door as being either open or closed with respect to the doorjamb and to generate a door status signal that indicates whether the door has been detected as being open or closed;
processing circuitry adapted to generate a security system disarm signal when the lock position detecting switch indicates that the position of the lock has transitioned from a locked state to an unlocked state, the door status signal indicates that the door is closed at the time that a predefined time period has elapsed since the position of the lock is sensed to have transitioned from a locked state to an unlocked state; and
the door status signal indicates that the door has been opened after the predefined time period has elapsed; and
a data transmitter for sending the security system disarm signal to the control panel; and
whereinthe control panel comprises processing circuitry adapted to;
accept messages from a system arm/disarm device associated with an identification number;
accept messages from a door closure device associated with the identification number;
register the identification number as being associated with a door entry security device;
receive, while in an armed state, an alarm signal from a security device in the security system;
receive a system disarm message from a system arm/disarm device in the security system;
determine if the system disarm message was received from a system arm/disarm device that has been registered as a door entry security device; and
ignore the system disarm message if the system disarm message was received from a system arm/disarm device that has been registered as a door entry security device. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)
