    Study Notes

    Control System Components

    • The 3 basic components of a control system are: sensors, controllers, and actuators.
    • Sensors sense things, controllers make decisions, and actuators control things.

    Alarm System Components

    • The Main Control Panel is the brain of the system, facilitating communication and controlling the entire system.
    • The component that connects to the smart home automation system or computer is the Main Control Panel.
    • The component that facilitates communication with the telephone distribution panel is the Main Control Panel.

    Wiring and Cables

    • Cat5 or higher cable is recommended to ensure versatility and future-proofing in a control system.
    • 18-gauge security wire should be used to connect door sensors to the main panel in an alarm system.
    • All glass break detectors should use stranded, shielded, 2-conductor wire.
    • Auxiliary devices should be connected to an alarm panel using 2-conductor, 18-gauge wire.
    • Perimeter protection wiring should use 2-conductor, 18-gauge wire.
    • Motion detectors should be wired with 2-conductor, 18-gauge wire.
    • Fire alarm systems should use 2-conductor, fire-resistant wire.

    Sensors and Motion Detectors

    • Examples of devices that can sense things in a control system include smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and motion detectors.
    • Motion detectors are most often used in alarm systems to detect intruders.
    • When planning a home security system with motion detectors, the layout of the home, number of occupants, and pet ownership should be considered.

    Zone and Actuators

    • A zone in an alarm system is a specific area of protection, such as a room or floor.
    • The primary function of devices that can control things in a control system is to take action based on sensor input.
    • Examples of devices that can control things in a control system include lights, thermostats, and security cameras.
