Swinger shut down is best described as what feature?

• A. A feature that resets the system immediately after an alarm.
• B. A false alarm prevention feature that counts triggers and will bypass that zone after a threshold (3 by default).
• C. A system to shut down power to the building.
• D. A feature that disables monitoring.

Answer: (B)

Swinger shut down is a false alarm prevention feature. When a single zone trips repeatedly in a short period, the system counts those triggers and, once they reach a threshold (three by default), it temporarily bypasses that zone. This prevents continual nuisance alarms and dispatches from one problem area, while the rest of the system remains active. After a cooldown or reset, the zone can be re-enabled for monitoring. This behavior fits the description of a feature that counts triggers and bypasses the zone after a set limit.
